Flying over SHIP GRAVEYARD from World War 2 choralcomposers 2017-06-01 | Concrete Barges filmed on a DJI Phantom 3 at Rainham, River Thames, London."During the Second World War, steel was in short supply. Governments in the UK and the US ordered the construction of barges made of reinforced concrete. The barges now abandoned on the Thames mud at Rainham were towed across the channel as part of the immense project to create artificial harbours for the Normandy landings on D-Day. They formed part of one of the Mulberry harbours. Then in 1953 they came to the rescue a second time when they were used to shore up the flood defences of the estuary which were damaged by a huge storm and surge tide."Music from 'Eternal paradise' by Alexander CampkinPortsmouth Grammar School choirs, conducted by Dominic Peckham and Sam Gladstone in Portsmouth Cathedralwww.alexandercampkin.com

Unwatchd - Alexander Campkin choralcomposers 2017-05-04 | 'This piece embodies feelings I experienced the first time my grandmother looked straight into my eyes and did not recognise me. Her body is fit and well, but dementia has caused immeasurable damage. The beginning of the piece recalls happy memories from my childhood with my grandmother. In the final section, the poem's text returns in fragmented flashbacks: "And year by year our memory... our memory... fades... memory..."'Unwatch'd by Alexander CampkinText from In Memoriam by Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892)St. Michael's Church, New York CityYoung New Yorkers' Chorus Women's EnsembleConducted by MICHAEL KERSCHNER

World of merriment - Alexander Campkin choralcomposers 2017-02-15 | World of merriment by Alexander CampkinText by Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)Commissioned by The Portsmouth Grammar School. First performed by The Portsmouth Grammar School Chamber Choir conducted by Sam Gladstone, in St Thomas’ Cathedral, Portsmouth, on 11 December 2015. Hear the bells! What a world of merriment their melody foretells! How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, In the icy air of night! While the stars that oversprinkle All the heavens, seem to twinkle With a crystalline delight; Keeping time, in a sort of Runic rhyme,To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells From the bells, From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.

The tale is about a boy, Daniel, whose experience of war turns his heart to stone. The boy doesn't know what love is, or beauty, or any of that. But he hears, and wants to know. He meets a mysterious character who promises him he can have love, but he has to take it, for himself, from the heart of a girl, with a sickle. The man teaches Daniel a song to draw the girl to him, and to call out her heart.'

Song of a Man - Alexander Campkin choralcomposers 2010-08-05 | 'Song of a Man' by Alexander Campkin The Oxford Spezzati, conducted by Nicholas Mumby, January 2007 Merton Chapel, Oxford Mixed voice choir James Ballance, Baritone solo Text by D. H. Lawrence (1885-1930) Not I, not I, but the wind that blows through me! A fine wind is blowing the new direction of Time. If only I let it bear me, carry me, if only it carry me! If only I am sensitive, subtle, oh, delicate, a winged gift! If only, most lovely of all, I yield myself and am borrowed By the fine, fine wind that takes its course through the chaos of the world Like a fine, an exquisite chisel, a wedge-blade inserted; If only I am keen and hard like the sheer tip of a wedge Driven by invisible blows, The rock will split, we shall come at the wonder, we shall find the Hesperides. Oh, for the wonder that bubbles into my soul, I would be a good fountain, a good well-head, Would blur no whisper, spoil no expression. What is the knocking? What is the knocking at the door in the night? It is somebody wants to do us harm. No, no, it is the three strange angels. Admit them, admit them.
