Melancholy Air Instrumental - Daisy Chute

MELANCHOLY AIR INSTRUMENTAL from the EP ‘CRADLE SONGS’ by Daisy Chute "Burns Night is a tradition I hold dear, especially as a displaced Scot in London. But every year we gather and recite the same poetry and songs, and I've often wondered about all the Scottish poetry that gets left unread, especially from the female perspective. I wanted to unearth some lesser known poetry so Cradle Songs are settings of the poems I discovered and connected with on my hunt. The poems are about mourning (Mary Queen of Scots's Melancholy Air), unrequited love (Marion Angus's Mary's Song), and motherhood (Carolina Oliphant's Cradle Song), and span from the 16th to the 20th Century." ‘Cradle Songs’ featuring 'Melancholy Air Instrumental' released 28 January 2022.

XVIV - Original Music For Brass by Hugh Davies

My original idea was for it to be played on 19 valved brass instruments but it ended up as the following: Piccolo trumpet, Eb Trumpet, 4 Bb trumpets, Flugelhorn, Tenor Horn, Baritone, 2 Euphoniums, 2 Tubas. Most of which were doubled. I think thats 13 parts in all, so close! The players: Sam Ewens: Piccolo, Eb & Bb trumpets, Flugelhorn, Baritone, Euphonium (samuel.ewens@googlemail.com) Hugh Davies: Piccolo, Eb & Bb trumpets, Flugelhorn, Tenor Horn, Baritone, Euphonium, Tuba (hugh@realbrass.co.uk) Carol Jarvis: Euphonium, Tuba (caroljarvis@mac.com)

Megan Linford - Only You

DIY artist Megan Linford taking on the DIY videos at home during the Lockdown. Only You is the 2nd track from Isolation Tapes released in December 2020. This song always felt to me like a love note to someone. Words that have waited too long to come out and you just can't wait any longer. I used this concept of writing that love note to inspire the visuals for this track!
