Hanging On The Old Barbed Wire

Taken from the Orchestra's show "When This Lousy War is Over". A show commemorating the centenary of WW1.

Most people are unaware that shots were fired across Africa from 1914 and throughout WW1. The following nations were involved: Kamerun, Togoland, SW Africa, East Africa, Morocco, Libya, Egypt, what became Burkina Faso, Niger, Somaliland, Ethiopia, Nigeria, South Africa, Angola, Mozambique, Rohdesia, Uganda, Congo, Nyasaland, what became Tanzania, Tanganyika and Ghana. The African piece, written by Leisa Rea & George Hinchliffe, is based on a traditional theme, serves to remind us of them all.

West Africa

The song “Wild Geese” is taken from the orchestra's show "When This Lousy War is Over"

Published in 1917 by poet Walter Flex in his collection “In the (battle) field between day and night”, it became a song popular in the hiking movement “Wandervogel” just after WW1. The song was also popular in the French army as "Les Oies Sauvages" and was used by the French Foreign Legion.

Walter Flex died in battle on the Eastern Front in 1917, in what is now Estonia. The song, with its melody by Robert Götz, serves to remind us that while we might be familiar with the works of war casualties Wilfred Owen and George Butterworth, there were war poets and composers on both sides of the lines.

How Blue

Moth depicted by a fluttering clarinet part with soprano sax describing a journey. Middle section reveals some sort of danger (flame) which resolves as moth gets away.....that's how it seems to me anyway!

Moth Beats Flame

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
