Solemn Air by Rosemary Broadbent published on 2015-08-19T15:21:30Z In Act 5 of Shakespeare's 'Tempest' Prospero requires 'some heavenly music' as he surrenders his power and 'drowns his book'. This setting was written for a production by Sheffield Youth Theatre and Sheffield Music Service in 1987. The chaconne form adds a suitable note of solemnity, but it also permits adjustment of length for particular productions. Genre Music for 'The Tempest'
