Work Overview
'As commissioned composer of the Primary work, Luke Byrne travelled around New England viewing some of the iconic sights including our waterfalls, historic towns, buildings and landmarks, and the beautiful autumn colours. The resultant work "Three Pieces for New England" pays homage to our unique history and region through Signor Vertelli's tightrope walk across Dangar's Falls ("Remarkable"), the little church at Gostwyck Station ("Gostwyck") and the beautiful sunsets and clear night skies ("Nightfires")'. Corinne Arter
