MAPEH SCRIPT
MI - SCENE I — Classroom dispute
Roman: Hey guys, our music presentation is tomorrow. What music are we going with? Any ideas?
Aya: Aha! What about some classical music, Roman? It has story, depth, and it’s…
Mika: Boring and useless, welcome.
(plays modern rap)
This is real music. Seriously, nobody cares about dusty music from dead composers.
Aya (hurt, crying): No it’s not Aya
Roman: Ignore her Aya. Mika, it’s more than that. Think of Schubert’s Erlkönig, it was dramatic, tense
and…(Mika wearing his headphone, ignoring Roman) Ughhh
Aya: Uhhh…did you feel that?
Roman: It’s nothing to worry, it’s probably just a minor earthquake
Mika (removes headphones): Guys…I…I…I’m feeling really weird
(Everyone collapses to the floor)
SCENE II — The Time-travel
(Roman gets up and approaches everybody, waking them up)
Roman: Where am I?
Aya: Where are we?
Mika: This haunted place is exciting me.
Aya: Look…that one! The statue over there!
Mika: Bet it’s gonna scold us for breathing wrong
Roman (fascinated): No, I think…that’s Franz Peter Schubert
Aya: Schubert? The Erlkönig guy?
Mika: Ahhh yes the silly ‘horror’ music composer
Roman: Well… actually, he—uh—maybe he was mostly a minor composer… mostly wrote background
stuff, I think.
(Schubert steps forward, chest out, chin up)
Schubert (angrily): Minor?! Background?! Ohhh dear you’re greatly mistaken!
I am Franz Peter Schubert! Born January 31, 1797, in Himmelpfortgrund near Vienna!
Fourth son of a musical family. Trained by my father, my brother Ignaz, and Salieri!
Minor?! Never!
Both Aya and Roman: WOW
Mika: Big head confirmed!
Companion: Franz…maybe let them speak first…
Schubert (chin up, chest out): Speak!? They must listen to the genius standing before them!
Companion (fixedd himself, chin up, chest out): Behold, Franz Schubert! Composer of over 600 lieder,
Ave Maria, and the Symphony No. 9 in C Major
Roman (excitedly):
He also wrote Symphony in B Minor, the “Unfinished,” masses, piano works… but really, he’s most
famous for his lieder.
Aya:
And operas too… but Erlkönig—that was the masterpiece.
Mika (smirking):
So… ghost story?. Boring bitches
Schubert:
Ghost story?! Genius story! You dare mock Erlkönig?!
Companion: Aha, Erlkönig, he composed it at eighteen! Goethe’s 1782 poem: a boy rides home with his
father, haunted by the Erl-King, a supernatural being.
Roman: I remember that masterpiece, each vocal line matched each character, the father calm and
steady, the son, frantic and Erl-King, sweet but was later menacing.
Aya: Four characters in one voice? That’s genius
Schubert: Indeed, I am!
Mika: So what now? There’s nothing compared to this…(played moern rap song)
Schubert: Ah ha ha ha ha…poor child. (plays Erlkönig in the background)
Companion: Fun fact about Erlkönig, the piano is genius
Aya: Oh? How so?
Companion: Right hand—rapid staccato, like a galloping horse.
Roman: Left hand—repetitive, dark, sinister.
Companion: It starts in the middle of the action and ends with a sudden stops when the…
MII - SCENE I — The Time Incursion
Roman: What… what just happened, everyone?
Mika: I don’t know… ask your dead friends. Oh wait… nevermind.
Aya: Ummm… guys… I feel… strange again.
Aya (ears perked): Wait… do you hear that?
Roman: I… I feel it too… down to my bones.
Mika: Oh, come on… can we just get this over with?
(scared, everyone followed the faint echo from a place with Aya leading them)
SCENE II — The Time Travel II
Aya: Wow… this one looks so… elegant.
Mika: Yeah, and the sidekick… and everything here is lame.
Aya (whispering): Who are they, I wonder…?
Guide: Greetings, travelers. You behold Ave Maria, one of Schubert’s most celebrated works. Perhaps…
you may wish to listen closely.
Guide II (enthusiastic): Indeed. Inspired by the Catholic prayer, Hail Mary.
Aya: So the lyrics… they’re from a poem?
Guide: Yes! From The Lady of the Lake by Walter Scott, translated into German as Ellens dritter Gesang,
which means Ellen’s Third Song.
Mika: So… take a poem, add some notes, and suddenly it becomes dramatic.
Guide II (chuckling at Mika): Ha! And yet, its beauty compels even the skeptical heart to pause… to
listen.
Roman: Oh yes, he’s right, y’all, it calmed audiences in Disney’s Fantasia, after the chaos of Night on
Bald Mountain.
Roman: Ummm… I was wondering maybe we can…
Aya: Can we hear it?
(song plays)
Guide & Guide II:
Remember…the song is a…
Aya:
Uh-oh… something’s happening again.
Roman:
Brace yourselves… here we go.
MIII - SCENE I — The Time Incursion II
Aya: Wow… this looks like a proper stage!
Mika: Yeah… or a long, boring history lesson.
Roman: Hush, Mika. Let’s hear what the guide has to say.
Guide (gesturing):
Welcome, travelers! Here we explore vocal music of the Romantic Period. It’s singing performed by one
or more singers, either with instruments or without. The voice is the main focus.
Roman: So the singer is the center of attention?
Guide: Exactly. And the main forms were art songs and operas, which require special skills from both
singers and pianists.
Aya: What about the voice itself?
Roman: Ahhh, wait, I know this. You must know your vocal range. Males: tenor, baritone, bass.
Females: soprano, coloratura, mezzo-soprano, contralto. And understand the fundamentals: the key's
base notes and the melody's chords.
Mika: That’s a lot to remember…
Guide: There’s more! Movements and gestures are crucial. Performers use “as if” thinking: Who is the
performer? Where and when is the event? What are they doing? Why? And how? All these choices
shape the story.
Mika: That’s just silly for a lame, tasteless music you’ve got there
Guide: Hushhh…and finally, spectacle matters: costumes reflect the time, place, and personality. Sets
reflect the story’s setting. Props are carried or displayed. And blocking guides the performers’
movements across the…
Aya: I feel it again guys…
Mika: Oh joy! More historical chaos
Roman: Brace yourselves… here we go.
MIV - SCENE I — The Time Incursion III
Aya: Wow… this one looks so… calm.
Mika (idk what I’m doing right now, it feels repetitive): Hmm… peaceful… I kinda like this vibe.
Roman: Let’s hear what the guide has to say.
Guide (gesturing to the scroll): This is Schubert’s Ave Maria, composed in April 1825. Originally called
Ellens dritter Gesang or “Ellen’s Third Song,” it’s based on a section of Walter Scott’s The Lady of the
Lake.
Aya: So it’s not exactly the Catholic prayer?
Guide II: Right. The words Ave Maria appear in the refrain, but the song sets a poem to music. It’s one of
Schubert’s most popular vocal works.
Roman:
Also, Schubert bridged Classical and Romantic styles. His famous works included Gretchen am Spinnrade,
Erlkönig, and Schwanengesang.
Aya: I can almost hear it already…
Mika (smiling): Yeah… I could actually listen to this.
SCENE II — The conclusion
Mika: Aya, you feeling that weird feeling again?
Aya: I don’t think so, Mika
Mika: Well, actually, guys, I’m loving classical music, it’s beautiful, it’s rich, and it’s not boring.
Aya: You see, Mika, classical music is… magical, it tells stories, emotions, and history all at once.
Roman: Right, Aya, take Schubert as an example. He started in Vienna, learned violin, piano, organ, and
studied with Salieri
Aya: And the song he composed at 18, Erlkönig —piano like a galloping horse, voices switching for
narrator, father, boy, and… creepy Erl-King.
Roman: Then there’s Ave Maria in 1825. Based on The Lady of the Lake.
Mika: And by the Romantic period, vocal music focused on fantasy, nature, love, and emotion.
Opera adds gestures, sets, props, and everything that amplifies the story.
Mika: I apologize, Aya and Roman
Aya: I am feeling it again, guys
Roman: Here we go!
SCENE I — The Time Incursion III
Roman (looking around): We’re… back.
Aya: Feels strange… like we’ve been gone for hours, but also like a lifetime.
Mika: I… I can’t believe it. Classical music… it’s actually amazing. I never thought I’d say that.
Roman: So… your modern rap presentation is officially retired?
Mika (laughing, playful): Yeah… you win this one. Let’s go with your choice. Schubert would approve.
(went outside the room)
I REALLY THINK THIS IS NOT GOING TO WORK. WHAT IF MAG GAMES TAYO SA FIRST, OR SA MIDDLE. I
CAN’T HOLD OR ‘HOST’ A GAME IF SO, I JUST CAN’T PROMISE. SOMEONE CAN. I DON’T EVEN KNOW
WHAT I’VE BEEN DOING WRITING THIS SCRIPT IT FELT NUMB, PLAIN, AND STIFF. THIS GETS BORING
ULTIMATELY.
