Award-winning composer and pianist Vince Pope creates a serene and spiritual moment, with the neo-classical tones, melodies and emotional warmth of Pastoral.
Intent on capturing the essence of a beautiful summer’s day, Vince Pope’s commitment to this moment is undeniable, and through five minutes of music, Pastoral paints a series of images and feelings for the listener to fall into.
It’s a thoughtfully crafted journey, with highs and lows in the brightness and softer moments alike, and yet despite the clear intention and structure, the places you escape to when listening are likely to be your own – a unique reflective experience, providing something special and different for everyone who dives in.
The music is modest, an important strength, but also skilful, impressive, and purposeful. It’s quite breath-taking, actually, to let the full composition surround you – to witness this meandering sunlight and scenic venture unfold. The strings and the piano are seamlessly united; they create a subtle vastness, alongside a distinct and rather divine melodic dance.
