Silver Linings
For double SA choir, piano & strings
Commissioned by Moorambilla Voices
A brief was given by Michelle Leonard of Moorambilla Voices to create a work based on the theme of clouds for performance by junior singers for their 2016 festival concert.
As many of the singers where from regional country badly affected by years of drought, the lyrics form a story of the dry and broken land longing for the endless blue sky to burst it's clouds. On the horizon they hope to meet again, where the earth and sky reunite. The indigenous word garaguru, meaning cloud, from the Sydney language is used throughout.
Views To Mount Solitary
For solo violins, string orchestras & congas
Commissioned by Santa Sabina College
A brief was given to compose a concertino style piece for two highly skilled violinists, with accompanying parts for their intermediate string ensemble, as well as another part for beginner string players. With imagery of Australian bird song, the vast sand stone cliffs of the Blue Mountains & gushing waterfalls Views To Mount Solitary was composed for their students and supported by their dedicated staff. It was first performed at City Recital Hall, Sydney, for their music director's, Mrs Karen Carey, farewell concert.
Stellar Dreaming
For piano duo
Commissioned by St Andrew's
