Work Overview
A setting of 'Rainforest', a poem by Australian poet, Judith Wright. The work begins with a choral soundscape of water and rainforest birds. From this sonic backdrop, a lively rhythm is sung which carries through into the melodic setting of the verses. The sounds of water and birds in the rainforest return in the closing bars to form a frame for the work.
