Old and new meet in a captivating way in Bjørn Arntsen's 'Mārū', for string ensemble and harpsichord, which explores the arrival and attempts to move on from a particularly persistent earworm. The Orchestras Central strings and Rachael Griffiths-Hughes on harpsichord take the second bar of Mozart's Symphony 25 on a journey of transformation from its original form through Baroque-esque ornamentation and reharmonisation to something new, modern, and dramatic! Full film over on our main channel!
