Product details
This is a very special recording of some extraordinary vocal
music by Australian composer Andrew Schultz. Halcyon (which is
Alison Morgan and Jenny Duck-Chong, and a stellar band of
instrumental musicians) has championed Schultz's work for one and
two voices throughout its twenty-year history.
In Schultz's own words: "Throughout my career I have returned
time and again to vocal music. My interest is in both the words
and the music and the ways in which they can complement each
other and thereby enlarge the meaning and communication of each
alone. So it is not surprising that I have been drawn to rich
texts, old and new, and also sought to adapt and create texts
that enable me the freedom to express my own personal experience.
This disc presents a cross-section of my vocal music in the
expert hands of Halcyon."
Duration: 61 min.
Liner booklet includes programme notes and biographical information about composer and performers.
