Composers and Authors

West Wind

By Ann Carr-boyd

Regular price $25.00 Sale

Violin and piano,  c.5'00.  Advance grade
The mood of the work is a musical interpretation of the westerly winds which prevail in inland NSW. Their persistence is echoed by the presence of the 4 note figure which opens the work. This figure, in turn, gives way to an ebb and flow of tempi and themes (like the wayward wind).
Composed 1994

Recorded by John Martin on Another Look at Autumn (Wirr 102) available online

Whale's Song, The

By Diana Blom

Regular price $30.00 Sale

Cello and piano, c.9'00.  Grade 8
The humpback whale is, in many ways, the spirit of the ocean. Through four sections - Chant, Dance, Lament and Chant, The Whale's Song traces the migratory pattern of the humpback whale as it moves in the Pacific Ocean, through musics of New Zealand, Ecuador, Hawaii, Japan and Papua and New Guinea.  "Chant" draws on rhythms of a Maori chant about the sea, and on its return, is joined by the rhythms of a traditional Japanese chant about the sea with amplified cello evoking sounds of the humpback whale. 

Recorded by Deborah Coogan (vc/reverb) and the composer on the CD, Music of the Spirit (Wirr 011) available online

Her compositions are numerous and include works for piano solo, chamber music, instrumental works for violin, flute, cello and clarinet and at least seventy songs.

      When the Winter Rains

      By Linda Dalgliesh

      Regular price $25.00 Sale

      For woodwind quartet - bassoon, clarinet flute, oboe , c.3'25

      This fantasy piece was inspired by changes in the environment during a single week in the south-west of Western Australia. In this region, winter is typified by alternating warm sunshine and cool cloudy days. It's a season for fog, frosts, sudden squally thunderstorms, hail, and persistent light rain; a welcome change from the dry summer heat. Vegetation grows lush and thick, frogs emerge, and waterways and wetlands fill and overflow. 
      Composed 2016
