London Viols
I love the way my own creative work can stem from any unpredictable source, and the day after I read the words ‘The Blue of Distance’ in Rebecca Solnit’s book ‘A Field Guide To Getting Lost’ I received Peter McCarthy’s commission to write this new piece, and I knew straight away what the title and concept would be. Funnily, writing the music wasn’t straightforward and I had to get lost several times before finding my way with it. But now I’ve rather fallen in love with it, it’s nostalgic and calm with pretty moments (unlike some of my other music!).
‘The world is blue at its edges and depths... the blue at the horizon...is deeper, dreamier, melancholy blue, the blue you see at the farthest reaches of places where you see for miles, the blue of distance.’ (Rebecca Solnit)
I imagine a beautiful landscape and the viewer calming, seeing subtlety shifting colours of light, occasionally noticing details in the distance, taking the beauty in.
The Jenny Lind Singers
