IF I can stop one heart from breaking, 
I shall not live in vain; 
If I can ease one life the aching, 
Or cool one pain, 
Or help one fainting robin 
Unto his nest again, 
I shall not live in vain.

If I can stop one heart from breaking (Two Poems of Emily Dickinson)

I Think On Thee

Dot and the Kangaroo - a miniature Australian fairytale! ❤️

Inspired by 'Dot and the Kangaroo', by Ethel Pedley
Composed by Rachel Bruerville
Narrated by Jacob Whitelock
Performed by the Elder Conservatorium Symphony Orchestra Conducted by Luke Dollman
Live concert recording by Jean-Christophe Xerri, Radio 5MBS, Friday March 16th 2018, Elder Hall Lunchtime Concert Series.

Program note:

“Never be ashamed of writing a good tune!”

I wish I could remember who said this quote, and Google hasn’t helped me, but apparently it was a great composer.

One of the reasons why I came back to full-time composition study at the Elder Conservatorium after a year and a half ‘off’ was because I wanted to improve my orchestration skills. I am so thankful to ECSO, Luke Dollman, and my brilliant honours supervisor Anne Cawrse, for this opportunity - an orchestra of real people playing my new work, which I hope contains some good tunes, and some decent orchestration!

Dot and the Kangaroo is an old Australian children’s book, written by Ethel Pedley (1859-1898), and first published in 1899. Ethel was, apparently, a great musician as well as a writer. It’s about a little girl called Dot who gets lost in the bush and befriends a kangaroo to help find her way home. The book was made into the popular 1977 movie of the same name (containing some extremely hilarious songs) by Yoram Gross, the producer who did Blinky Bill.

This is my orchestral interpretation of this charming story, which includes a narrator, greatly inspired by my love of Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf. I hope you have fun listening!
