Arthur & Guinevere

A man who fears nothing is a man who loves nothing.

Arthur

I performed these short impressions on the movie First Knight (directed by Jerry Zucker, Columbia Pictures, 1995).

I composed the music except for the two last parts which are free transcriptions from the original works. This has a dark stance on the theme and the chapters are:

I. Guinevere

II. Arthur

III. Marriage

IV. War

V. Arthur mourns Guinevere’s love (1/2)

VI. Arthur mourns Guinevere’s love (2/2) – from the aria “E Lucevan le Stelle” of Puccini’s Tosca

VII. Finale – from “After Dark” by Vadim Kiselev

The stills are from the before mentioned movie. The background image is adapted from the “Victorian Floral” wallpaper collection by Walls Need Love.

I am using the Pirastro Aricore string set which I consider a definite improvement over the standard sets. The most distinctive of these lower tone strings is evident at the end of part III.
