Work

Night day sea : for treble voices, SAB choir and piano

by Alex Turley (2018)

Work Overview

Night day sea is an evocative exploration of the vibrancy and innocence of youth set against thewisdom of adulthood. The text by West Australian poet Roland Leach is alight with colour, calling tomind imagery of children who "dance their day" in "yellow and green", contrasted with the "do-less greys"of adulthood. This is reflected in the interplay between the children's choir and the older voices present in the work. Set alongside this is an exploration of the imagery night vs day. We begin the piece in the firstlight of daybreak, as birds begin to awaken. The piece travels through the tumultuous events of the day andlands just as the sunset haze settles into dusk.
