Work Overview

'Lai' is a medieval word for a specific song form, or simply, melody.
The chorale melody 'By the waters of Babylon' is a slow cantus firmus through most of the piece, the strophic structure of which is loosely modelled on Bach's organ prelude on this melody. The music also incorporates songs and calls of birds local to Sydney (currawong, magpie, blackbird, pied butcher bird and bell bird).
