Paul McCartney ballet score due out Oct. 4

Ocean's Kingdom, a ballet score composed by former Beatle will be out on CD and vinyl Oct. 4.

The piece will be performed by the New York City Ballet Sept. 22 and runs about 45 minutes. Composer John Wilson assisted Macca with the orchestration.

In a New York Times interview, McCartney described the ballet as:

“basically a romantic story” involving two worlds — the ocean kingdom, representing purity, and the earth kingdom, “the sort of baddies.” The daughter of the ocean king falls in love with the brother of the earth king, and “you’ll have to see whether the couple make it,there’s all sort of troubles along the way.”
