Work Overview
The suite retells, in melody, historical events from Sydney in the 1920s. The first movement, 'Razorhurst', depicts the violent and somewhat romanticized razor gangs that were highly active in the inner city suburb of Darlinghurst. The second movement 'Greycliffe' is composed in memory of the deadly Greycliffe ferry disaster of 1927. The collision between the small Greycliffe public ferry and a large steamer resulted in the death of forty passengers and is still the deadliest accident that has occurred in Sydney Harbour. The final optimistic movement, 'Bridgesteps', is inspired by the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. This landmark was constructed step by step across the decade of the 1920sâžșninety years on the bridge is still a focal point of the city's identity.
