Philip Wesley - Far And Away

A solo piano journey through Mike Oldfield’s The Songs of Distant Earth.

This interpretation weaves Let There Be Light, Supernova, and Magellan into a single performance — a quiet tribute to both Oldfield’s music and Arthur C. Clarke’s vision of our planet as one small, fragile home against the backdrop of the stars.

"It is not easy to see how the more extreme forms of nationalism can long survive when men have seen the Earth in its true perspective as a single small globe against the stars."
— Arthur C. Clarke, The Songs of Distant Earth

— Bastien DiArgos

Let There Be Light - Supernova - Magellan (Solo Piano Radio Edit)

Outer sections are an elegant, flowing waltz, separated by a long and tranquil middle section which is mostly tender and peaceful, until a rich passage built on the two circles of 5th. Overall, to my ear at least, the piece speaks through beauty to express an underlying sorrow. One of the SWWs which I found deeply moving – and rewarding – to compose

*Alto Giove*
Nicola Porpora, Polifemo, Acis's aria:

ACIS 
Alto Giove è tua grazia 
E tuo vanto il gran dono 
Di vita immortale 
Che il tuo cenno 
Sovrano mi fa.

Ma, il rendermi poi quella 
Già sospirata tanto Diva 
Amorosa e bella 
È un dono senza uguale 
Come la tua beltà.

Alto Giove - Porpora - Philippe Jaroussky, ABO, Paul Dyer

Deeply melodic, wordless compositions merging neoclassical piano with ancestral instruments like the duduk, quena, charango, and strings.

Reflective, and rooted in ancient memory—music for those seeking presence through sound.
