The Destruction of Sennacherib. Words: Lord Byron - Original Music: © Dave Collins, Nottingham UK

This is an extremely famous poem with a dramatic and memorable opening line. Six relatively short stanzas with a fairly simple rhythmic structure. The trick was to build some variety into it and avoid too much repetition but still not lose touch with that compulsive and insistent rhythm. Whether I have succeeded or not the viewer must judge for themselves. In any case thanks for listening. Video by Brettmetal Films Sound by Curly Lead Studios.
