Product details
Song of Estrella is a light-hearted encore piece incorporating many popular tunes, origianlly devised for string sextet. "Estrella', the Spanish word for 'star' is played by a solo violinist in mock virtuouso tradition, as this country, in any language, is a 'star'. Written by a composer who moved from the US and has chosen Australia as her home, delighted by the linguistic and humorous take-offs found here. The lyrics to this piece were written by Mrs Caroline Carleton, the doctor's wife, who won the Gawler Institue prize in 1859 for the best song which was then set by Carl Linger.
