THE SAVIOUR IN THE SHAWL (WE STILL SING) – SINGLE VERSION

Sung by Sarah, ‘The Saviour in the Shawl (We Still Sing)’ was recorded with the Tenebrae Choir and addresses themes of the environment prevalent throughout Sarah’s previous work, as well as exploring further modern issues including societal injustices, war and competing beliefs. It’s a grown-up carol for the 2020s: a postmodern world shadowed by war, threatened by climate change, despairing at injustices and wearied by competing beliefs. It’s a world where old certainties no longer hold, and where familiar words no longer bring comfort. Yet it’s a world that still aches for meaning, for transcendence, for humanity and for wholeness. Rooted in Scripture and conscious of the tradition of hymnody in which it stands, the carol recognises the disillusion as well as the desire, the despair as well as the hope, the fear as well as the faith. It’s sad, yes, like life can be sad; but that’s what makes the hope all the more precious; it’s the darkness that makes us long all the more for the dawn.

The carol is a collaboration with award-winning writer, lyricist and poet Grahame Davies with whom Sarah also composed the Coronation piece ‘Sacred Fire’. The idea began from a poem in a Christmas card that Grahame sent Sarah, which she then began to set to music. The song is rooted in scripture and conscious of the tradition of hymnody in which it stands but is also something for all faiths and for everyone to enjoy.

“We are in a time when there’s great uncertainty and fear about the world we’re currently living in. I believe music and nature have the power to transcend and transport us somewhere else, giving us a way out, and providing freedom for us to move past these burdens.”

ONLY LOVE IS REAL

John Lennon once sang “I am he as you are he, as you are me and we are all together”. “Only Love is Real” is a song in exploration of this same “oneness” – of reincarnation and the human condition. It celebrates consciousness and the seemingly opposing forces of our spiritual and physical selves. It also suggests the power of the unseen, other realms and being released from earthly emotions.

LION KINGDOM (ORIGINAL SCORE)

The soundtrack to the series Lion Kingdom following the fascinating and very gritty story of three prides of lions in Tanzania, is a story in itself. The music takes us on a haunting and at times very disturbing journey. Edgy guitar textures are mixed with spooky high vocals and vocal arrangements, overlaid with beautiful solo strings making this score a unique musical tapestry.

BROTHERS OF THE WIND (SOUNDTRACK)

In a world where it takes courage to fly, a young boy nurtures a baby eagle into adulthood. Searching for their place in the world, they bond over their desire to be free. The orchestral score to this film starring Jean Reno, Manuel Camacho and Tobias Moretti, is emotive, epic, intimate and haunting. It features the song I Wish from Sarah’s album Unity.
Recorded with the Babblesberg Film Orchestre in Berlin.

UNITY

Unity is about love. Unconditional love, of the self, of others, of the Universe or God and of nature. The title track Unity expresses that we are all one being, connected and interdependent. This is nowhere more perfectly illustrated than in nature where its equilibrium relies on the smallest details – often the most powerful. It’s also about the miracle of life and if we look for the magic within it however desperate our existence may seem at times, if we can allow ourselves, we will find it.

UNITY (SINGLE)

The title track from the album ‘Unity’, Unity expresses that we are all one being, connected and interdependent
