"Les fées sont d'exquises danseuses…" - this was always one of my favourite Debussy preludes and one which I love to play. I had the idea that it also made a beautiful accompaniment to a "faery" poem of mine which came from a nighttime vision.

10 A Midsummer Night

The Lady rides - the earth awakens - how long will she tolerate our injustices?

12 She rides

The rising of the serpent power

Dobe Newton on bones

13 Surge Shakti

The words of the chant are by Hildegard of Bingen - the spoken poem and the music mine. I love the timelessness of medieval chant.

01 I am your Paraclete - O ignis spiritus

This poem was inspired by visiting Tintagel castle - a truly wild place. The sound landscape tries to recreate some of the atmosphere on that day.

07 The wild cliffs of Tintagel

A poem taken from my verse novel on the Tao - hence the Eastern mood

09 Faint voices

Kundalini - the serpent power - can be violent and powerful. This poem is about her

10 There are serpents

A choral landscape with spoken word - a song of Amen to all. Like all of my work inspired by a poem.

14 Song of Amen

A New Age madrigal - to be recognized as what we truly are is our deepest wish

08 Your recognition

One the sublime preludes of J.S. Bach I have always loved to play
