Howard Blake is mostly known for writing and composing Walking in the Air for the 1982 animated short The Snowman. Probably as a result of it’s success, his music played a much more central part in the animated short ‘Granpa’ which is like a 26 minute mini-opera. I love how these genial little melodies that could might as well have been stretched and filled out for several minutes just sweeps by in mostly less than a minute, and it goes on like this for the entire film. All material is of pretty equally amazing quality, but the very first song captures the pretty, exploring, magical, naïve yet melancholic atmosphere the entire film centers around best of them all.

Music is preformed by Sinfonia of London and Wroughton Middle School Choir.
