Discovery: Remy Barjolin

I’m always on the lookout for music that’s a little different from the norm, so I found myself suitably impressed when I discovered Remy Barjolin’s music!

By Jane Howkins

The French composer has produced something of wonder on Far From Home, as it really is amazing to behold. It’s a cinematic classical piece, sounding like something that would belong in an epic film. However, it also has some folky elements, making for a fantastic mix of sounds. The track builds up over time, creating a wonderful crescendo before it breaks down, moving into a haunting orchestral section. It builds up once again at the end, swelling with a huge burst of emotion. It’s a glorious piece of work and one that shows just how talented Remy really is!
