Product details
The poet's description of the didgeridoo's sounds of joy and pain - "a vortex in our ears that spiralled and spun" - inspired me to compose a mostly rhythmic and syncopated music.
My scoring of the two middle verses of the poem includes music for a baritone voice soloist. He sings of drawing breath and of the wind that blows up: "deep, passionate, resonating with earth and sea".
I thank Father Arthur Bridge for commissioning the work and Peter Skrzynecki for permission to set the poem to music.
