composer, Anton has touched the hearts and souls of people around the world, most recently with his composition \u201cEIIR: The Platinum Record \u00a0&#8211; \u00a0A Jubilee Anthem\u201d.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Anthem is designed as a historical and outstanding tribute, a true musical representation of Her Majesty\u2019s 70 years of service to her people around the globe.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anton\u2019s composition is an impressive crossover world music style work, titled \u2018<em>We Thank You From Our Hearts<\/em>\u2019. He was not only responsible for the music composition, but he also co-authored the lyrics with Thomas Mace-Archer-Mills (BMS Founder) and co- arranged and produced with his fellow South African producer, Ettienne Lane from Song Evolution Studios.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The musical extravaganza seamlessly glides in between the world\u2019s continents and regions, guiding the listener to the farthest corners of the Commonwealth in a glorious sound tapestry of African, Indian and Scottish\/Celtic flavours and complimented with features like the steel drums of the Caribbean, the Didgeridoo of Australia, Hindi, Maori, and Swahili chants referencing Her Majesty, as well as other musical representations found around the world, under Britain\u2019s global Crown. It <em>showcases the exceptional vocals of UK national treasure, Soprano, Lesley Garrett, <\/em>CBE and the Baritone Rodney Earl Clarke, accompanied by a full complement of the wonderful London Community Gospel Choir.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On 21 April 2022,\u00a0EIIR: The Platinum Record, a Jubilee Anthem\u00a0was released to the public via music streaming platforms worldwide.\u00a0Both songs on the album debuted at\u00a0#1 and #2 on the iTunes Classical Music chart in the UK\u00a0and enjoyed full radio and TV news coverage during the Jubilee celebrations.<span
