Product details

This work is inspired by the art making process of Utopia region aboriginal artist Emily Kame Kngwarreye which involved the creation of an image that was then painted over with an explosion of dots. This process of "colouring in" gradually masked what lay beneath to create another overlaid story. Her works are intensely
spiritual with a strong sense of serene beauty and harmony. This process of colouring and becoming is an essential element of this concerto in which the resonant and melodic qualities of the solo instrument gradually unfold an underlying theme which is coloured and masked to create a "sound snapshot" of the colouring in of the night sky.

Published by: Australian Music Centre — 1 set of 27 performance parts (103p. -- A4 (portrait))

Duration: 4 mins

Performance parts for the orchestra are the same for each version of this work. There is a different soloist part for each of the 3 versions.

This is a short version of the Bass Clarinet Concerto of the same name. The work is in two parts. Parts one and two can be performed together or separately on the same program or as single works. Part 2 in particular is designed as a fanfare style work with solo instrument. It will work well if used in this way as a single work.

Typeset edition.

This edition produced 2006.
