A Fresh Wind Waves

Five poems of Emily Brontë set to music by Janet Jones:

A Fresh Wind Waves (Aire Valley Music) is the release of a re-mastered CD of Emily Brontë poems set to music by Janet Jones, from an EP originally produced in 1976 with a piano accompaniment. The re-mastered version brings the melancholy sounds from the cello to enhance the mood of the pieces.

Since Emily’s untimely death, the worldwide surge of interest and fascination for her life and work has continued to increase.
Janet developed an interest in poetry from her father who used to recite it to her from memory. She became particularly drawn to the poems of Emily Brontë and in later life held a desire to bring her poems to a wider audience by writing music to accompany them.
Janet’s EP (1976) was an attempt to do this using piano and voice together.
Janet chose to add the cello to this re-mastered version in 2011, to further enhance the mood of the poems.
This CD completes the journey begun in 1976.
Janet is proud to share a very small part of Emily’s world.

Here there is a sample: November 1837 (The Night is Darkening Round Me)
