About
Following their acclaimed mixtape series on Signum Classics, ‘Earthcycle’ is the fifth album from Orchestra of the Swan and David Le Page.
‘Earthcycle’ is an innovative and timely project which finds a compelling way to engage with humanity’s most urgent threat.
Through three initial performances, a recording and a film, ‘Earthcycle’ contemplates our impact on the Earth’s environment and the disruption of its natural rhythms.
To celebrate the 300th anniversary of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, the artists have commissioned a new version from Signum Associate Artist, baroque / jazz musician and composer David Gordon, which is interspersed with traditional folk songs related to the theme of the seasons and performed by singer Jackie Oates.
‘Earthcycle’ highlights the 21st century’s greatest concern, whilst celebrating nature and our place within it.

Its wassail-like qualities leave a smile on the face and it is a lovely example of the clear honesty of this project – refreshing in spirit and performance.
