"December’s come and all is dead;
Weep, woods, for summer far has sped
And leaves rot in the valley bed.

Grey-blue and gaunt the oak-boughs spread
Mourn through a mist their leafage shed.
December, season of the dead!

Brown-golden, scarlet, orange-red
Autumn’s bright hues are faded, fled.
December, season of the dead!"

'Lament In December' from The Cool Web, by Jools Scott & Sue Curtis

"To you who’d read my songs of War 
And only hear of blood and fame, 
I’ll say (you’ve heard it said before) 
”War’s Hell!” and if you doubt the same, 
Today I found in Mametz Wood
A certain cure for lust of blood: 

Where, propped against a shattered trunk, 
In a great mess of things unclean, 
Sat a dead Boche; he scowled and stunk 
With clothes and face a sodden green,
Big-bellied, spectacled, crop-haired, 
Dribbling black blood from nose and beard. "

Jools Scott & Sue Curtis - A New Day

Theme from The Door by Jools Scott

I am a composer from Bath, UK.

'Vice' the musical, written with long-term collaborator and librettist, Sue Curtis, is a Jacobean revenge play using period language to juxtapose with a wild jazz/classical score. More info at http://www.joolsscott.co.uk

'The Cool Web : A Robert Graves Oratorio' is a brand new First World War commemoration piece for SSAATTBB choir, baritone soloist and 17 piece chamber ensemble based on texts from Robert Graves' poems, some First World War poems, some from before and after the 1914 War. This WW1 Centernary oratorio follows the experiences and creative reaction of one of the great English poets, subjected to the horrors of the 'first modern war'.
