That Bloody Game
By Michael Halliwell, David Miller
Regular price
$25.00
Australian World War I Songs performed by baritone Michael Halliwell and pianist David Miller. The songs in this collection respond to the changing circumstances of the war. From recruitment in Australia, songs written for the precise purpose of getting men to join up, sometimes shaming them into doing so! For Australia, Gallipoli was the first 'big event' of the war, and then to the Dardanelles, and to France; to the home front and how the war affected civilians and celebrating the return of the forces. The songs also reflect the more serious side to which classical composers of the time responded to the war so creating many outstanding songs that can be heard on this recording. The CD booklet portrays many of the original covers from the songs' scores.

Finite infinity.

Thinking Allowed
By Phillip Wilcher
Regular price
$50.00
A life in conversation with itself
Within the learnedness of this most discerning and singularly profound truth dwells a humanness so vast in liberty and limitation, that it denies us any false face we might choose to show to the world in order to shun our truth, favouring more the integrity of our most integrated selves, the common presence present that is of a oneness inherent to all.
Only through the realization of our finest virtues, can we divine a way to endure with courage and compassion, the fullness of our humanity and all its frailties.
Through writing music I composed who I was becoming;
through composing words I now write of who I am.
If I am the sum total of my contradictions,
this is my truth.
