//DulceREMIX - Concanenda & POLY

Commissioned for Concanenda as the first track for our debut album: Bright Shadows.

Music by Andrew Cusworth
Text by William Wordsworth

Earth has not anything to show more fair: 
Dull would he be of soul who could pass by 
A sight so touching in its majesty:
This city now doth, like a garment, wear 
The beauty of the morning; silent, bare, 
Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie 
Open unto the fields, and to the sky;
All bright and glittering in the smokeless air. 
Never did sun more beautifully steep
In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill; 
Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep! 
The river glideth at his own sweet will: 
Dear God! the very houses seem asleep; 
And all that might heart is lying still.

Composed Upon Westminster Bridge by Andrew Cusworth

Commissioned for Concanenda as the title track for our debut album: Bright Shadows.

Music by Alexander Campkin
Text by Henry Vaughan (1622-1695)

BRIGHT shadows of true Rest! some shoots of bliss,
Heaven once a week;
A day to seek;
Eternity in time; the steps by which
We Climb above all ages; and the rich,
And full redemption of the whole week's flight.

Bright Shadows by Alexander Campkin

Track 1: M(Mass) Kyrie, is the piece as it was composed
Track 2: M(Mass) K2, is Barnard's first experimental step away from the original composition
Track 3: M(Mass) Two Sopranos, is Barnard's second step towards new choral soundscape

M(Mass) Kyrie text:
