Theme for Hester Shaw

Would have been done earlier, but I think checking out the new MSPA album’s a bit of a priority. This theme’s for Hester Shaw, the fantastic protagonist and sometimes antagonist of the Mortal Engines Quartet by Philip Reeve. If you haven’t read it, I suggest you do so.

I tried to capture the various elements of her character in the music as it alternates between sinister, melancholy, and heroic themes. She’s written very well, so the task was a challenge.
