The Scarpe in E Major
I’ve been experimenting with composing instrumentals inspired by my Tormay Trilogy.
This piece, The Scarpe in E Major, is a meditation on the Scarpe plain, an enormous prairie grassland, north of the city of Hearne. I was trying to capture a sense of sunlight and blowing grasses and the horizon. The Scarpe’s a lovely place, and I hope that comes through to some degree in the music.
There are about eight different tracks in this one, ranging from guitar to violin and flute. I don’t claim to be a genuine composer in any sense of the word. Regardless, creating this one was a lot of fun. It’s just a sketch for now. I’ll hopefully re-record and polish later this year.
Christopher, that sounds very pleasant to my ear. Thanks.
That is indeed evocative, Christopher. Reminds me of the work of Jean-Paul Leprince, a French composer I knew when we lived in the Forest of Devres.
Wonderful composition, Christopher. Reminds me the kind of music I used to hear on old school RPG video games. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Wonderful, Christopher! Sounds like a beautiful peaceful place. Thanks for sharing.
LOVE it! Takes you away to this mystical place!
I can almost imagine watching Levorith walking across The Scarpe. Beautiful.
