Happy the Truffle Hunter’s dream to harvest truffles is served, but the Three Little Pigs have no appetite for menu change. Pup n’ Swine is the Big Bad Wolf’s origin story that features the leitmotif: a recurring melody associated with people, places, or ideas. Using the musical knowledge from Sound and Silence, listeners identify Happy the Truffle Hunter and The Three Little Pigs through musical themes as Happy transforms into the Big Bad Wolf.
The hunt for the truffles begins with a teaser!
