Designed to be Elizabethan in nature and epic in scale, this production focused on the consequences of tragic choices. In this score, instrumentation followed character. Bells signified Lavinia, while cello and drums followed Titus. Aaron was accompanied by cymbals and the murderous boys were a angry dobro.  Simple but powerful brass signified the state, and Tamora always had tonal beds.
