Second Chance, The

By Houston Dunleavy

$50.00 Sale

Short Opera about redemption, c.10'30

Young lovers Keith and Erica are in the last days of their doomed relationship.  Angry and distant, they have no chance of finding or giving forgiveness for whatever drove them apart.  By some odd quirk of time, space, and fate, their 20-years-older selves are flung back to this moment, forced to watch what they have both replayed in their minds a thousand times and more:  the moment when Erica walked away, and Keith ... just ... lets her go.

Current-day Keith and Erica plead with their younger selves, trying to make them see that they're throwing away the best person they will ever love, that the rest of their lives will be dull and full of regret and pain.  The younger selves can neither see nor hear them, and the older selves realise that if this love is to be redeemed, it can only happen to who they are right now.

Composed 2010.  Libretto by Laura E Goodin.

Seduction of Andalucia, The

By Amanda Handel

$20.00 Sale

Solo piano, c.4'10.  ANZCA syllabus Grade 8; AMEB (C Mus A) Performance Certificate

Inspired by the Alhambra Palace in Granada (Andalucía), where an intense atmosphere of mystery, wonder and romance has prevailed over a thousand years, this music conjures scenes and impressions gathered from a legend titled “The Pilgrim of Love”. This legend recounts the adventures of Ahmed, a young Moorish prince from Granada who ultimately wins the love and gains the hand of Aldegona, the lovely Christian princess of Toledo. This great quest of forbidden love and seduction involves the unlocking of arcane secrets and ancient wisdom, fantastic spells, strange music and a conspiracy of birds. After many tests and trials, the couple’s desire to be united finally triumphs and they elope on a magic carpet bound for the kingdom of Granada - where they marry and live happily ever after as king and queen.
Composed 2014

Recorded and edited by Katie Zhukov in the volume of Australian Women Composers' Anthology Vol I available online https://youtu.be/WnyIqgz6eFw
