Cue of the Week: “Memories of Oma”

In this cue from Lifetime’s Secrets Beneath the Floorboards, our protagonist sorts through relics of a childhood with her harsh Oma (a German term for grandmother). 

I wove Oma’s theme throughout the score, sometimes to overtly evoke her memory – which looms large in the protagonist’s mind – and sometimes more subtly. (A theme can be included in a way that’s not super noticeable, but helps create a common feeling in related pieces of music.)
