Sheet Music: ScoreBig decisions : the Whitlam Dismissal, for wind quartet and recorded speech / Robert Davidsonby Robert Davidson (2001)
|
Product details
In 1975, it was Time. Gough Whitlam headed the first Labour government in 23 years. Australia's most dramatic political moment happened only three years later, when the Governor General dismissed the government. Big Decisions looks back to Remembrance Day 1975 with music that frames broadcasts of that day. The music emphases the inherent melody in recorded voices of Gough Whitlam, Malcolm Fraser, Sir John Kerr and a supporting cast of Paul Keating, Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen, Sir Charles Court and others.
