This is the soundtrack to the novical™ (novel + musical) "A Tale of Two Fools." Author and composer Sir Wick takes you on a musical journey via classical, gospel, hip-hop, and R&B genres. Beginning with a cinematic overture (Alexandra's Song), Anthony Saunders's voice captures the sound of Eli, the naive but pure-hearted protagonist (I Just Do, Give My All, etc). Detroit-born songstress, and Broadway's latest star, Angela Birchett shows off her dynamic vocals as Alexandra on such songs as "What a Mighty God We Serve," "Who am I to Choose," and "Loving you is all I need"
You are guaranteed to be transported into the world of "A Tale of Two Fools" cast, music, and entrancing scenarios by way of this revolutionary multi-dimensional entertainment experience.
A Novical™, once again, the combination of the words “novel” and “musical,” is my creation of a new literary and listening experience. Every time you see words in bold and underline, that represents a song on the soundtrack. It is your choice: you can stop and listen to the song on the CD or computer right then or listen to it after you read. It doesn’t matter how you approach it; it is however you want to experience “A Tale of Two Fools.”
The Story:
Eliezer “Eli” Brooks is a music major whose main objective is perfection. He works tirelessly in a practice room to become the best trumpeter in the world but his dedication to his music makes him a social hermit. Despite his focus, he unexpectedly falls in love with Alexandra Hylton: a young MBA student who is being courted to work for a major-marketing firm post-graduation. Although she loves Eli, Alexandra realizes that her life may be better by returning to her ex-boyfriend Harrison, a six-figure executive who can give her everything she desires.
Will Eli find true love with Alexandra or will she return to her former love?
