Sheet Music: ScoreTartengk / Michael Whiticker.by Michael Whiticker (1993)
|
Product details
Tartengk, my work for orchestra, was begun in 1985 and after lying idle for 7 years, completed only in 1993. The title is an Australian Aboriginal word found in the South Australian area; it means 'a stick for beating time in singing'.
The sound of the word 'tartengk' immediately communicates something to me. It emanates strength and has a certain exotic appeal and, as it came into being on this contintent, assumes a special quality for me as an Australian. When one considers its musical meaning it is also especially apt as a title for a piece of music.
