1st single from the soundtrack album: La Controversia de Valladolid.

El Codicilo de Isabel is the score’s most tragic passage. A solitary viola begins with the Gregorian chant Dies Irae, joined gradually by the rest of the ensemble until the double bass shifts the harmony into a fragile major chord: a fleeting moment of light within grief, echoing Queen Isabel’s deathbed scene.

"Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.

"Give back my father, give back my mother;
 Give grandpa back, grandma back;
 Give my sons and daughters back.
 Give me back myself,
 Give back the human race.
 As long as this life lasts, this life,
 Give back peace
 That will never end."

Cedric Vermue is a Dutch composer and a producer of neo-classical music. His work is stylized by a blend of classical styles and instruments, mostly piano and strings, combined with contemporary electronic elements. The music’s aesthetics are strongly based upon the principle of stillness, bringing a quieting calm in a world full of turmoil. Working with various textures and layers combined with intimately recorded acoustic elements, the music becomes a carefully crafted landscape. This welcomes any listener to submerge into a poetic universe of sound. His most recent interests include various analog synths, organ and Gregorian chant.

Born in a small town in the Netherlands, Cedric began playing the piano at the age of 8. When he was 14 he started producing film music on the computer and writing piano compositions. In subsequent years, while studying at Utrecht Conservatory of Music, he began incorporating electronics, strings and ambiences within his music. This exploration culminated into his graduation project, in which he collaborated with six string players and live recordings in the concert hall of the Conservatory. This project was self-released in 2018 as an EP, “Ember”. After graduation he started an intensive studio project, producing two albums, in association with various string players and producer Antal van Nie.

Cedric’s debut album, Left Upon Us, is released in 2019 by Piano & Coffee records. in 2023 he released 'Perpetua' with Mylja records.

Music lover: from baroque to metal, from string quartet to trance, from late romanticism to urban groove.
I like to make music in different genres - but I believe in melody.

"You have spoken the answer.
A child searches far sometimes
Into the red dust
    On a dark rose leaf
And so you have gone far
    For the answer is:
        Silence."
-Carl Sandburg
