This video is a special collaboration between the boys and girls schools, with a mixed cast, orchestra, and band. The song, written and recorded by Joni Mitchell for her 1971 album Blue, has been beautifully arranged especially for us by our musician-in-residence Matthew Herd and recorded in stages, over the second half of this term.
Once the song was complete we made a short film to accompany it, devised and directed by Rich Weinman, and shot by a professional camera crew. Captured all in one evening, using only the Music School and Aldenham House, it aims to explore how small acts of kindness can bring people together, especially at Christmas time.
Special thanks to all the students and staff who have given their time for this project.
