Brightside
By Frank Millward
Regular price
$120.00
Five pieces from the full work for Soprano and Baritone, Choir and Chamber OrchestraIn Brightside a poem, written to a pre-prepared scenario, was interpreted using music, song, dialogue and movement. Synthersising these so that no one form dominates another, Brightside develops themes of blind optimism, obstructive cynicism and misguided treachery. This work was originally performed by Lumiere and Son Theatre Company London.
The score presented here is a re-orchestration of the original score that was performed as an electro-acoustic piece, disseminated through an immersive quadraphonic system. This re-orchestration is ideally suited to an acoustic concert presentational format and works well in accompanying a solo or small ensemble dance component.
Approximately 18’00” in duration there are five major sections scored for Choir (or Quartet with microphones) S.A.T.B. and Chamber Orchestra consisting of Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, ‘Cello, Double Bass, Trumpet Bb, Horn in F, Bass Trombone, Keys and Percussion.
The sections of the work are:
1. No One Knows How Fine They Are – Duration 4’ 32”
2. Ella – Duration 3’ 46”
3. Your Will Never Waivers – Duration 3’ 30”
4. All I Want – Duration 2’ 00”
5. Stella – Duration 3’ 36”
There are opportunities for solo parts in Ella (Soprano) and in All I Want (Baritone), however these can also be sung by combined ensemble voices. The poem ‘Pale fingers…’ by David Gale is a part of the full poem of the work and can be spoken to fit within the section Ella. It is offered as a performance choice if spoken word were to be included in the performance.

Bromeliad -The Epic (orchestral)
By Graeme Denniss
Regular price
$120.00
Concertino for solo horn and chamber orchestra, c.12'40
The epic describes a quest where the Horn is the hero of the story, hearing the call and responding to the challenge, as a hero must, although not without moments of trepidation. After overcoming moments of self-doubt, our hero sets forth resolutely to seek the foe, to the music of a march. Battle is joined in 12/8 and our hero emerges triumphant, but not without injury. After withdrawing from the fray to heal, the eventual homecoming results in a hero’s welcome. Awarded the highest honours by a grateful nation, a rapturous reunion occurs and they celebrate the victory together.

Bundanon - CD
By Phillip Wilcher
Regular price
$25.00
Pianist, Jeanell Carrigan. This album is titled Bundanon after the piece composed by Phillip Wilcher and dedicated to his friend and pianist, Alexander Boyd, grandson of Arthur Boyd. Of this Alexander writes; I feel that Phillip Wilcher's richly evocative piece "Bundanon" perfectly captures the spirit of Bundanon - the tranquillity and beauty of the bush and surrounding landscape, yet simmering below the surface, an environment teeming with life and constant renewal. If there was one thing my grandfather was more passionate about than the visual arts it was music, perhaps especially the creation of music. I do hope that Phillip Wilcher's piece will bring Bundanon to the attention of many more musicians and composers and inspire them in the years to come.
