Sheet Music: Score & Part(s)Flying west : for recorder, cello and harpsichord / Ann Carr-Boyd.by Ann Carr-Boyd (2013)
|
Product details
The music is based on a poem by Diana Weston, who wrote about a
day in the life of a flying doctor working at the Flying Doctor
Service in Broken Hill, outback New South Wales. The centrepiece
is the calming Wings from the Sky, a musical reflection of the
welcome sight of the Flying Doctor plane when it appears out of
the vast sky, its crew arriving to administer comfort and
life-saving help.
Clinics are also held in outback towns and many patients have
driven or flown a long way to one of these clinics and I have
tried to picture the long day, the waiting, the hope, in the
section named The Clinic. In Red Earth you may hear a familiar
hymn - 'Onward Christian Soldiers' - included in honour of the
Rev John Flynn, the Presbyterian minister who founded the Royal
Flying Doctor Service on May 15th, 1928, in Cloncurry,
Queensland.
