Child Of The Earth

A composition by Luke Olney, (who works for Spitfire Audio) that I remixed with BBC Symphonic Orchestra From 'Spitfire Audio'. The goal here is to recreate his track as faithfully as possible so that we can better understand the BBCSO plugins.

TEXT
There is no rose of such virtue
As is the rose that bare Jesu;
Alleluia.
​
For in this rose contained was
Heaven and earth in little space;
Res miranda.
​
By that rose we may well see
That He is God in persons three;
Pari forma.
​
Now leave we all this worldly mirth
And follow we this joyful birth;
Transeamus.

The only surviving movement of HC Stewart's String Quartet, this is a tantilising glimpse of a work of ingenuity and adventorous harmony. Combining the clear textures and respect for tradition with a free sense of form and rhythm this is a work typical of the composers small but intense output.
