This piece was composed for my HSC music 2 composition and is meant to represent Australian music of the last 25 years. I have incorporated this into hypertonic chords (dissonance), percussive vocalisations and (of course) the Australian subject matter present in Irene Gough's poem "After The Rains".
I DO NOT CLAIM ANY RIGHT TO THE LYRICS USED IN THIS PIECE, I USED THE POETRY AS A STARTING POINT FOR THE WORK. THE MUSIC IDEAS AND THEMES, HOWEVER, ARE ALL MY OWN WORK.
I drew inspiration from David Drury, Eric Whitacre and Morten Lauridsen, all of which are choral composers I have performed works from this year.
