A live performance of my piece, "Hymn to Persephone (Ancient Greek Goddess of the Spring)", in one of my favourite ancient woodland glades.
This piece formed track 1 from my 2022 album, "Orpheus Tamed the Animals: Mythological Music for Ancient Greek Lyre" - available from all the usual digital music platforms, CD quality audio & a PDF booklets of the detailed album notes is also available from Bandcamp:

The lovely location is Lancaut Nature Reserve, in a secluded glade next to steep limestone cliffs, framing the River Wye - one of my favourite local spots to escape the mostly maddness of the rest of the modern world.
Lancaut was once a tiny village, long-abandoned during the Middle Ages, probably due to the plague - all that remains, is the ruins of a 12th century church, nestled in the remnants of the ancient wild wood bordering the banks of the Wye & surrounding sheer limestone cliffs - today I discovered it makes a spendid outdoor recording studio!
