Forty Winters Overture Forty Winters Overture
Mia McKinnon Mia McKinnon
Based on Shakespeare's sonnet 2: When forty winters shall besiege thy brow
And dig deep trenches in thy beauty’s field, Thy youth’s proud livery, so gazed on now, Will be a tattered weed, of small worth held. Then being asked where all thy beauty lies Where all the treasure of thy lusty days
To say within thine own deep-sunken eyes Were an all-eating shame and thriftless praise. How much more praise deserved thy beauty’s use If thou couldst answer "This fair child of mine Shall sum my count and make my old excuse " , Proving his beauty by succession thine.
This were to be new made when thou art old, And see thy blood warm when thou feel’st it cold.

Tea Tea
This song is a comic, silly song about Tea! It developed from an exercise in recording sounds and voices then manipulating them electronically. I then added EDM influences with iconic samples from Sam Brown's "Tea" and Doris Day's "Tea for Two" to create an unlikely composition.

This work for two violins follows an intense journey of trying to travel through a storm, whether that be a literal or metaphorical storm.

EPHEMERA/ PERPETUAL EPHEMERA/ PERPETUAL
This improvisational piece explores the dichotomy of ephemera - fleeting moments of magic - and the neverending nature of perpetuity. “ephmera”: n. things that exist or are enjoyed for a very short time / “perpetual”: adj. 1. never-ending or changing, 2. occurring repeatedly; so frequent as to seem endless and uninterrupted.

Dominic Crosato Dominic Crosato
"Hark, adventurers! Come, come, warm ye boots by the fire. 'Tis many winters since last I saw an unfamiliar face pass through these parts. By the Gods, these are uncertain times...uncertain times indeed. Barkeep, treat our patrons with a flagon of our finest mead! Ah, hush now, hush now friends, for the bards are poised to sing; heed closely their tale. Sage words - they say - can oft' be found in those tales of old..."

Atlas Atlas
Atlas was the Greek god who carried the world on his shoulders. This song is sung by a girl in love with a very serious person, and how she wishes they'd lighten up a bit.

The Father’s Vision & The Son’s Execution The Father’s Vision & The Son’s Execution
Marcus Henville Marcus Henville
The Father's Vision and The Son's Execution are a pair of pieces for improvised trumpet, semimodular synthesisers and spoken word. Originally devised for the Sound Devotion concert taking place in St John's Cathedral, the works explore the architectural legacy of John Loughborough Pearson, the original architect who drafted the design for St John's. Pearson died in 1897 before the completion of his design, which was then finalised by his son, Frank, who over saw the initial period of the 108 year long, multi-staged construction of the cathedral.
