In conjunction with filmmaker/tenor extraordinaire Dan Norman of Positive Note Productions in the UK, I am making films of two of my songs:
The Apple Orchard, composed in 2004 to a poem by Dana Gioia
and
Sarong Song to David Mason’s poem, from The Soul Fox cycle commissioned by ROKI in 2013.
I feel so fortunate to work with such great artists: tenor Dan Norman, mezzo-soprano Kitty Whately and pianist Simon Lepper. We filmed and recorded at Radley College in Oxford on July 6, 2021 and I am currently editing the audio.
Director Jeremy Bidgood is overseeing the film production, and artist Ian Beck will be creating the illustrations.
So excited about this creative adventure!
