about

This new release from composer/violinist Ellie Wilson features a selection of incidental music from Shakespeare’s Globe 19/20 productions of Henry VI and Richard III, along with speeches by some of the Globe Ensemble actors. Ellie wrote the score for the two history plays, and also performed (violin, musical saw, vocals) in the two shows.

‘Ellie Wilson composes the score, with haunting solo vocals and an impressive set of themes that make it this season’s most memorable.’– Fringe Review

‘The brilliant band melts seamlessly into the drama.’ – The Guardian

‘Music feels tonally akin to a Scorsese film – extreme violence enacted to a soundtrack and choreography that belie such evident rage … the music is strong and Ellie Wilson's use of the saw lends a great deal of tension to the play's darker moments.’ – Whats On Stage

Composer/arranger: Ellie Wilson

Globe Ensemble Actors: Nina Bowers, Jonathan Broadbent, Steffan Donnelly, Colin Hurley, Sophie Russell

The Globe Band (Bastard Feudalism):
Ellie Wilson violin, saw, vocals
Thom Ashworth lead vocals, percussion, guitar, mandolin
Jay Chakravorty piano, harmonium, guitar, EBows
Midori Jaeger cello
