My favourite Australian art song repertoire
Posted by Australian Music Centre on 22 July, 2013
The AMC asked leading practitioners to select their favourite Australian art song repertoire, to provide delegates to the 2013 International Conference of Vocal Teachers (Brisbane 2013) with an introduction to this rich and diverse landscape.
For many years I have enjoyed singing these settings of lyrical Australian poet John Shaw Neilson. Easy to approach, they are a charming set of miniatures from the more substantialand dramatic 'May' to the cheeky 'When kisses are as strawberries'. Although individual songs may be familiar, the cycle as a whole is worth study.
