Product details
This double-CD contains seven orchestral works, all by composer Barry Conyngham perhaps Australia's most international composer, with premieres and performances of his works in Japan, America, Europe, Russia and throughout Australia. The Ormond Ensemble is conducted by Richard Davis.
Over his long career as a composer, Barry Conyngham has published
over 100 works. In his compositions, Barry has often enjoyed
using titles that convey multiple meanings and suggest musical
processes. Many of the titles embody the suffix '-ing',
suggesting something unfinished, or in the process of
unfolding.
This is a bouquet from the garden of his musical imagination, and
indeed most of these works are infused with a vivid and specific
sense of landscape. These diverse landscapes, brought to life in
sound, are also animated by a multitude of human energies, as the
soloists and the ensemble move together with the vectored
synergies that Barry imagined. This sound garden allows us to
savour the world of colours, gestures, and resonances in Barry's
music.
