Urban songs : for string quartet / Andrew Batterham.

Library shelf no. 785.714/BAT 3 [Not for loan]

Work Overview

Urban Songs is about life in an urban environment. Sometimes you're alone in a crowd, sometimes there's a lack of privacy; and sometimes you belong to something larger than yourself.
'And There I Was' - Find your own rhythm amongst the noise of the city, find your place in the sights and sounds.
'Streetlights and Lost Souls' - Flickering streetlights stand sentinel over a lonely streetscape at night, home only to the homeless.
'The Union' - The rhythm of the city, the racing of the trains, the tramping of the commuter army, the heartbeats of a million people.
