Work Overview
The three movements of Adelaide Dances are:
1. March - A strange, eerie march inspired by the funeral procession in Bulgakov's The Master & Margarita & the famous Adelaide cold-case mystery Somerton Man.
2. Twilight Dance - for the hot summer nights on Adelaide's beaches: a sultry dance of intertwining melodies & rhythms
3. Balkan Rhumba - inspired by the composer's past performances at Adelaide's WOMADelaide Festival, as well as Adelaide's large east-European population.
