The Story of My Heart

In Tune鈥檚 specially curated mixtape including Frank Bridge's poem for orchestra The Story of My Heart plus music by Corelli, Liszt and Jocelyn Pook.

鈥淗ow beautiful a delight to make the world joyous! The song should never be silent, the dance never still, the laugh should sound like water which runs for ever.鈥 - essayist and nature writer Richard Jefferies' words which inspired Frank Bridge's poem for orchestra - The Story of My Heart. Playful music by Corelli and Krommer thread through the journey to this piece and the voices of children playing provide a background to Jocelyn Pook's Saffron - a poem connecting mother and daughter. More graceful and reflective moments occur in Derek Bourgeois' Serenade for brass band, Frank Martin's Mass for double choir and Liszt's Liebestraume No.3.
