The Waste Land Project
In September 2010, Stowe School teaching colleagues Tony Chan and Huw
Jones had the idea of taking T. S. Eliot's epic poem The Waste Land and placing
it in a musical setting. The result is the below production, which is a live
performance from Stowe's State Music Room, as part of the Wednesday evening
recital series at the school.
- The Burial of the Dead
- A Game of Chess
- The Fire Sermon
- Death by Water
- What the Thunder Said
Apologies for the poor picture quality - the room's lights were dimmed to
create the right ambience for the performance, without necessarily thinking
about the consequences for the camera!
