“A Heaven in a Wild Flower” Live Improvisation by Martin A. Smith & Tim Hooper
St. Peter’s Church, St. Peter’s Street, Duxford,
Cambridgeshire. Martin A. Smith and Tim Hooper are bringing ‘pre-planned improvisation’ to a Medieval church in rural Cambridgeshire. As part of the 2007 Duxford Festival, they have been asked to provide an evening of ‘contemplative music’ to be played in St. Peter’s Church amid the flowers, candles and pews of this simple but beautiful sacred space. The duo will play a number of pre-planned pieces based on the theme of flowers and religious devotion; including Smith’s soundtrack music to ‘The Joining of Heaven and Earth’ (a film tracing the pilgrim route to Santiago De Compostela) and Hooper’s ‘Music for a Village Passion Play’. The performance will make extensive use of lighting and a series of specially commissioned projected images by Spine Design. “For the
flowers are great blessings.”
