about

On the 1st of April 2020 English National Ballet was due to premier “Creature” by Akram Khan with an original score by myself.

It goes without saying that due to the current Covid19 pandemic the performances have been postponed and the final period of creation frozen.
It is the right and only thing to do, to protect everyone’s life and respect the ones more heavily affected by the situation.
But it comes with a sense of regret, for not being able to connect with you through what we have created.

It is with the desire of connection that together with Akram and ENB we have decided to release one of the tracks I composed for the ballet accompanied by a short film by Maxime Dos.

When I landed upon this hymn by St. Thomas Aquinas, it was clear that I found the right words to express both the emotional journey of our “Creature” and my feelings around the present global crisis.

I truly believe that this surreal experience, if accepted with an open heart, could reveal a treasure for our humanity; a chance to shed our old skin and embrace a new way of living.

I hope that this music and these images may resonate with you and make us feel a little closer.

Be well, be strong and see you on the other side.

lyrics

Sacris solemnis
iuncta sint gaudia
et ex praecordiis
sonent praeconia
recedant vetera
nova sint omnia

At this our solemn rite
let all our joys be joined
and from the inmost heart
let songs of praise resound
let ancient forms depart
and all be new around
