Jonathon Crompton - Cantata No. 1: An Island Seen and Felt (2025) [Hi-Res]

Written after a five-year period of intense historical study, Cantata No. 1: An Island Seen and Felt explores themes of displacement, homesickness, spirituality, and nostalgia by expressing personal experiences of Crompton’s childhood, spent growing up in the Surf Coast Shire of Victoria, Australia. Through a unique combination of contemporary improvised music and counterpoint written in the sixteenth-century sacred style, the project aims to synthesize and unite discrete cultural and historical musical elements on the one hand, and on the other, through this synthesis, to capture something of the remote, elemental power of that landscape.
