Thank you for stopping by. I decided to move my blog here and away from my website purely for convenience, it is much easier and quicker for me to post here and if I ever get to grips with it I may even attempt a post from my mobile. (I said, if ever….)
So what’s new? Well, I’ve finished ‘Cheviot’ at last. Fiona’s in the process of photographing it for me and it will appear here and on my site very soon.
I’ve also added some new snippets of my music to the site. www.francisrobsonartandmusic.net (Just click the link on the music page.) There are currently four pieces for you to choose from. The first two pieces were written for my boys and somewhat self explanatory. The third is a piece I wrote in 2001 and the final is a prelude to a major work I’m currently writing. ‘Along the Wall’ as the title suggests is a musical journey along Hadrian’s Wall celebrating and exploring the people, places, geography, history, and symbolism of this amazing feat of human engineering. The Wall (or wor waal as I like to call it) has stood for over 1,800 years, snaking across the land from Bowness-on-Solway in the west to Wallsend in the East. I have lived near The Wall all my life and next to it for the last seven years, it’s presence is haunting and I am endeavouring to capture that essence in this piece.
I faithfully promise to blog again soon
