A Bit on Music in Endeavour

A favorite musical moment in Endeavour is at around 04min45s in Scherzo (S8E2) where you hear Wagner’s Prelude to Act III of Tristan und Isolde. Morse has it going on his record player while he dresses for work. We’ve just come off of the first episode of S8 and we’ve seen the degree to which he is starting to fall apart. He’s a mess really. Perfect time for some Wagner.

If you don’t know about Wagner, he was a horrible human being, but an innovative composer. Tristan und Isolde, in particular, is considered a real turning point in composition because of its very intentional use of dissonance. It’s so significant, in fact, that the very first chord you hear in this piece is actually referred to as the “Tristan chord”—one of only about a dozen or so “named” chords in the western musical canon.

The chord just…aches. There’s a really intense urge to hear it move on to its harmonic resolution. You want it to get better!

And this particular prelude is at the beginning of Act III, so if you know the opera, you start to picture it in your mind…

…As Act III opens, Tristan is lies mortally wounded. His faithful servant waits for the arrival of Isolde, the only one who has the power to heal Tristan. A shepherd lad has been instructed to signal the servant by playing a tune on his pipes when the ship carrying Isolde is sighted. They wait, listening. Surely help will arrive in time to save the dying man…

Nope. It’s Gwen.

Another favorite is in Neverland at about 15min. Monica and Morse are in a cozy, domestic scene. He’s doing the crossword. She’s darning a sock. She asks if he’s happy and somewhere along the line you realize that they’re listening to the beginning of Bach’s St. Matthew Passion (basically a musical retelling of the crucifixion). By the first time I saw that episode, I’d learned enough about how they used music in the series to guess that things were about to go very, very wrong. There actually was going to be a crucifixion of sorts.

There are so many instances where they use music (both classical—and if you you are lucky enough to be watching the UK versions—popular as well) to either foreshadow or pull a bait-and-switch or to reference another work or otherwise give a scene additional layers of meaning.

It’s just beautifully done—but it’s also done gently. It’s done in such a way that those not “in the know” aren’t left on the outside. There’s nothing crucial that you’re going to miss out on, but at the same time it’s great fun when you see it.

Go and Luck Go With You

‘You were the best decision I ever made, sweetheart. Nothing that you think you’ve done will ever change that.’

Snippets from a life that could have been.

Endeavour Morse navigates the twists and turns of a life that brings him back to the one who he thought was lost to him forever.

Two moodboards as early Christmas presents (and another late birthday present) for two wonderful people @gohoubi and @sandfordsmostwanted and anyone else who has read, commented, left kudos and generally cheerleaded this fic (there are too many of you to list right now). You have made me realise how much fun writing is again and I couldn't have done it without you all.

"I was in Blackpool with the ATS for two years during the war. And there was this man, he kept asking me if he could measure my feet. I know it takes all sorts but..there we go."

I really want to write a Morse and Thursday fic where they have this near death experience which traps them inside Morse’s mind--specifically, in his childhood home from before his mum died.

To survive, Morse has to confront the death of his mum and as a corollary his abandonment issues which he cannot do without Thursday's help. But! here is the kicker: the fic is set at the height of their Zenana fight. Even at their closest, Morse’s childhood trauma is never something he would have shared with Thursday; now, they can barely stand to look at each other, and yet if they don't find a way to work thru it together they are both going to die. I could have so much fun 👀

#itv endeavour #fic ideas #morseday #i have such a clear vision of a scene where the stairway is cluttered with little angry clouds of words #insults from gwen (with a child like you no wonder she got cancer)#but also the many times thursday told him he couldn’t keep him or didn't want him #not for Thursday to excuse morses behaviour in s7 but to...understand a little I suppose where he is coming from #and how skewed Morse's perspective is?#but ofc the way Thursday deals with any complicated emotion is thru outward anger #and with morse at his most exposed/defensive--oof #and yet they care for each other so much #I just want to force them to remember it #thru the gore and the blood they have drawn from one another 👀

Work in Progess Wednesday

A short snippet from the next chapter of go and luck go with you

‘You’re not allowed to talk about my mother.’

His voice is just as quiet, just as strange, his eyes blazing.

‘We tried, your father and I. But you were always a prickly thing. Ungrateful. Difficult.’

Lucy opens her mouth to interject, her eyes wide as she places her mug down on the coffee table. A splash catches over the rim of the mug, bleeding into old wood. Her hands tremble as she folds them into her lap.

‘Mrs Morse- Gwen. Dev’s many things, but ungrateful? He was a child when he came to you! A child uprooted from his home and his mother and- I don’t know-‘

She closes her eyes, bites her lip.

‘He’s been nothing but good and kind with us despite the cards that the world has dealt him. You- You can’t honestly believe that he’d be anything but?'
