Alexander Paul Burton has recreated a stunning piece of signature folk from the heart of his fantasy novel ‘The Hollow Vale’. ‘Post Scriptum De Caelwyn et Campana’ is soft as a feather and a highlight guiding this story.
Burton has been composing piano compositions since he was fifteen and has ventured out into something new and exciting, bringing this book’s world to life through music. This part of the story is designed to be a haunting echo of the novel’s central mysteries and ancient magic. Led by the ethereal tones of my favourite instrument; the harp, “this gentle piece serves as a musical epilogue to the pivotal character Caelwyn’s profound journey within The Hollow Vale, and her enduring connection to the enigmatic Bell (Campana) which is a core element of the book’s lore.”
The piece is an auditory tapestry and ode to the world of The Hollow Vale, it weaves, rustles and slowly drifts along as it chimes and mesmerises through its folk-inspired sounds. All of the themes it touches upon are explored deeply in the narrative of The Hollow Vale, and this piece captures a sense of peaceful reflection that words can hardly describe. “As an integral part of the official soundtrack for The Hollow Vale, this piece perfectly encapsulates the novel’s themes of memory, the cyclical nature of magic, and the enduring power of a single soul’s impact on the world.” It’s something different, something lavishing and it’s a piece you should let completely wash over you.
