Product details
Dance with Nature - the chamber music of Ross Edwards by
Philip Cooney, has been especially designed for secondary and
tertiary level study. Activities have been prepared for seven
short works by Edwards. The kit contains easy-to-use question and
activity sections, musical examples, classroom arrangements of
music, an interview with the composer, and is accompanied by a CD
from the performance at the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts
Centre.
Ross Edwards is one of Australia's best-known composers, both
nationally and internationally. His music has found a welcome
audience in Europe and the USA, as well as in Australian concert
halls.
The author of the kit, Philip Cooney, is a teacher with thirty
years experience. His study of the music of Ross Edwards,
described by Professor Anne Boyd as 'a valuable contribution to
Australian musical scholarship', has identified the major
developments in the composer's music in the last fifteen years.
Cooney's earlier kit on Ross Edwards's orchestral music is also
available through the AMC.
While score samples relating to the activities are included in
the kit's booklet, complete scores for each work can be purchased
separately from the Australian Music Centre.
