Songs by Diana Blom
By Diana Blom
Regular price
$25.00
"I’d been writing songs for many years before realising that my choice of texts was largely those by Australian and New Zealand poets and novelists. There’s something very rewarding about setting evocative words of places you know well, and highly satisfying accompanying and composing songs for singers with beautiful voices of different ranges and colours who work on the songs, discuss aspects arising with me, and then deliver a fine interpretation." Diana Blom The singers represented on this disc are Ayse Göknur Shanal soprano, Emma Stacker mezzo-soprano, Lotte Lataukefu contralto, Kevin Hanrahan and Brett Weymark tenors, Clive Birch bass, who are accompanied at the piano by David Wickham and Diana Blom.

Songs of Grief and Sorrow
By Diana Blom
Regular price
$25.00
Three songs for soprano and piano. Words by Milissa Deitz
When Milissa's little girl died unexpectedly, her mind fractured. In order to show the vertigo, disassociation and hyperarousal of what is known as complicated grief, the non-confluence between image, sound and word was uppermost in conceptualising the film, All the Little Boxes, directed by Iqbal Barkat and Milissa Deitz and written by Milissa Deitz, with cinematographer, Vincent Tay.
Songs of Grief and Sorrow draws on texts from the film script shaped into three aspects of grief, sorrow and memory. The songs were first performed by Australian soprano, Ayşe Göknur Shanal with pianist Eugenie Tamplon.
Composed 2021
