The music you are listening to is from Cornish Soundscape ‘An Ancient Land’. It was composed by Martyn Jackson in 2006 to form a musical background to all elements of ‘Ancient Stones of Kernow’, a project created with his wife Mandy, which centres on the prehistory of the far west of Cornwall.

While it stands on its own as a concert piece for full orchestra, the musical material forms the background to the pre-historical commentary that accompanies the ’Ancient Stones of Kernow’ tours of the West Penwith landscape. It has also been expanded into a  large scale dance theatre piece, the ballet ‘Ancient Stones of Kernow’   

A C.D. of all the music written for this project, including the three part commentary,  a full performance of the Cornish Soundscape and the ballet score, will be available later in the year.

This music can also be listen to at www.myspace.com/martynjacksonmusic
