This is the beginning of a completely hand-lettered, hand-decorated book of antiphons and hymns to Our Lady, written in 4-stave block notation. In no particular order, these are some of my favourite pieces of music to the Blessed Virgin. I will, of course, be writing all four of the liturgical antiphons, both the simple and the solemn versions. Every piece will be headed by a 22ct gold leading letter in a window design. I’m using finest cotton paper, India ink, 22ct gold and steel nibs to create something beautiful. The text is blue India ink, the stave lines black, and the notation liquid gold.
Once completed and bound, this little book will be for sale. It will make a fantastic, dynamic addition to any library, and a true jewel to be handed down for generations to come. At this stage the price is not set, but any customer enquiries may be made to me (Ste Duckett) at [email protected]
Do watch the video below, in which I give a short introduction to this exciting little project.
Wishing you a very Happy and health-filled New Year!
