Celtic themed instrumental pieces inspired by sacred landscapes in Britain and France.
Bio / Background
The landscape of Celtic Britain has long excited artists, poets and musicians and these places of legend inspired this collection of music. I feel the enduring spiritual potency of prehistoric stone circles like Stonehenge and Avebury as I walk amongst the mysterious megaliths. Their original purpose is lost, but I recognize in their structure and alignments the builders’ understanding of the land, the stars and of their place in the cosmos. Mysterious stone lined burial chambers in northern Europe are decorated deep inside with abstract, sinuous patterns. Sitting within, the cool air, the smell of earth and stone, the chamber's shape and texture whisper sounds in my mind.
Surrounded by the romantic ruins of the medieval Bishop’s Palace at Wells, I am moved to imagine the pomp of its more sumptuous days. Nearby Wells Cathedral is an expression in carved stone of the philosophy of the Middle Ages, its sacred geometry echoing the mathematical foundations of music itself.
