Stuart Mitchell, Seven Wonders: Suite For Orchestra (Klemens, Prague So)
Album UK 2005 on Edinburgh Music Company label
Classical
Written in 2001 by Scottish pianist and composer Stuart Mitchell. Each of its movements is based on the seven wonders of the ancient world – the Hanging Gardens of Babylon; the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus; the Colossus of Rhodes; the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus; the Statue of Zeus at Olympia; the Lighthouse at Alexandria; and the Great Pyramid at Giza. Mitchell deploys all the power and colour of the orchestra to evoke a picture in music of each of these incredible structures. Combining rich melodies, expressive vocal parts, and a few great tunes thrown in for good measure, it's hard to believe this atmospheric suite wasn't written for a film; as it happens, Mitchell was inspired by his background in keyboard and synthesiser music before branching out into more orchestral pieces.
