Product details
The Australian bush has long held wonders for those who immerse themselves in its beauty. For recent arrivals, it holds a fascination for its lush, green flora and native fauna. But for those who have called this continent home for millenia, it has provided shelter, sustenance, folklore, and laws.
Jonathan Green's poignant and honest text highlights the difficulty modern Australians face. They will never understand that the people who once lived in this place were "integral, without distinction from all the life and soil and rock, water and space that surrounded them. The old people were this place and this place was them." The rest of us "will always be a stranger here, someone passing through, never forming a part of this greater presence."
Set to music by Steven Stanke, this moving and penetrating art song with a message of connection and belonging would be an ideal addition to a recital or examination, or as an encore.
