Marking his first work in the world of dance, Paul announced the general release of Ocean’s Kingdom, commissioned by the New York City Ballet and performed by The London Classical Orchestra, Keen to tell a story through his music, Paul decided to focus on the purity of the ocean, creating a world featuring distinctive characters and a vibrant underworld kingdom. His collaborator Peter Martins created the choreography with the NYCB dancers. Ocean’s Kingdom duly topped the classical charts and reached the Number 1 spot in the US and Number 2 in the UK.

I have only listened to movement 1 of Ocean's Kingdom, but I it filled me with joy. It immediately whisked plunged me into the ocean as a whale swimming with my pod and then whisked me away to the depth's of the ocean as I flitted about as a fairy fish (if there is even such a thing). I was born in 1960 & grew up listening to the Beatles. My favorite was always George (sorry Paul), but I finally got around to listening to Sir McCartney's classical works with Oceans' Kingdom being my first. I knew he would be a great classical composer, and I was right. I am pleasantly surprised..
