Product details
This CD is the result of a daring project to commission 21
composers to write new works for Halcyon's two singers, Jenny
Duck-Chong and Alison Morgan. Presented over 2 concerts in their
15th anniversary year, and then recorded at Trackdown, the works
are now available to all. The music, commissioned from some of
Australia's finest composers (all of whom have had involvement
with Halcyon), is varied and intriguing and functions as a
snapshot of recent Australian composition.
The performances are electric. What more could one want? Oh yes,
all the recordings are world premieres!
Halcyon is a dynamic exponent of new vocal music based in Sydney.
Since 1998 this virtuosic ensemble has forged connections both in
Australia and across the globe with composers, music centres and
institutions in the search for the best of contemporary chamber
music for voice.
Duration: 80 min.
Liner notes include program notes, lyrics and biographical detais about the composers and performers.
