The Ian McMillan
Orchestra is a meeting of words and music...poet Ian McMillan
and composer Luke Carver Goss create a soundworld of stories,
songs, memories, tales and the odd hurdy gurdy solo with the aid
of a group of amazing musicians. There's something new here, something
indefinable, something beyond the idea of poet intoning as the
instruments noodle in the background.
Listen in:
you'll hear forgotten moments from history, excursions into deep
dark woods and an iPod-disrupted trip on a cross-country train...
'Music and
words are the candlesticks that light up life's banqueting hall'
as De Tropeville
said in 1768.
