Work Overview
Mandolin Music was commissioned by Adrian Hooper for the Sydney Mandolins in 1981. The work was performed many times by the Sydney Mandolins under his direction, and a recording has been released by Jade compact discs. The work itself consists of a slow opening introduction followed by a fast-slow-fast section in traditional ternary form. Adrian Hooper describes it, from a performer's aspect, as "a beautiful idiomatic work".
