Pup n’ Swine
The “origin story” of the Big Bad Wolf and the Three Little Pigs.
Happy the Puppy’s dream to harvest truffles finally came true, but Happy’s new job is not so popular with the oinkers swirling in the mud. Pup n’ Swine features melody to introduce the “leitmotif”: a recurring musical phrase associated with people, places, or ideas. Using the musical knowledge from Sound and Silence, listeners identify Happy the Puppy and The Three Little Pigs through their individual musical themes as Happy transforms into the Big Bad Wolf.
