Product details
Australian Summer, for pipe organ, was composed at the
Royal Schools of Church Music Summer School, held in Canberra in
January 2016.
Canberra was experiencing a heatwave at this time, but despite
this, the singers, organists and other musicians who attended
from all over Australia and New Zealand, were not deterred and
created a memorable week of choral and organ music, as well as
some new compositions composed at the Summer School (as was this
piece). It was my privilege to be Composer in Residence and to
tutor a diverse group of composers, who each created a new work
which was performed at the final concert.
In my work for organ, I wished to use the wonderful bass pedal
notes of the organ to create a sustained sound, on which are
superimposed some of the bird songs I could hear around me, all
of which are pervaded by the breathless heat of the day. Images
and sounds of the Australian film, "Picnic at Hanging Rock",
floated through my mind, reminding me of the timeless quality
created in this film.
