"Somewhere I Have Never Travelled" for String Orchestra

An Overture

Wandering by Lone Sea-Breakers

A while ago, I wrote an aria based on Shakespeare text - for soprano and chamber orchestra. I used extracts from Cleopatra's death scene and set it to music. There is a moment in the aria she imagines she hears Antony call from the afterlife and in this moment, I developed a love theme for them. 

Cleopatra is about to take her own life and longs to join her husband. 

I decided to revisit this theme and arrange it for string orchestra. This recording was done in the James L Dolan Studio at NYU.
