Muse Chronicle

Composer Adrian Brockless is from a family that has a proud musical history. Since childhood, he has been around masters in music; his father being Brian Brockless, who has excelled as a British Classical music artist and has collaborated with orchestras like the Royal Philharmonic and English Chamber Orchestra. He has made several contributions towards the revival of Renaissance music. At the same time, his aunt Pauline Brockless is a celebrated Soprano vocalist. Thus, Adrian’s music is highly influenced by Renaissance choral traditions. As Adrian explores various music styles and comes across various musical inspirations, his music is evolving and this journey is truly mesmerizing to watch (or listen to).

“A mesmerizing instrumental piece that will resonate with the souls that find poetry in life.”

‘Da Sealkie Wife’s Sang’ is Brockless’ artistic expression that encapsulates how he reimagines local folk music with his touch of Renaissance music. The song carries a story and a sweet and pleasant atmosphere with it. The harmonized violins create a vast soundscape that can melt your heart and tickle your soul. Moving to Shetland has enabled him to produce art in various forms. One of them being the song and the other being his production for the audiobook version of naturalist Bobby Tulloch’s book ‘Shetland: An Islander, His Islands and Their Wildlife’. In this work, you can find two further classical arrangements of Shetland folk melodies.
