Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder

A live recording of the premiere performance by Zephyr Quartet and a choir of smart phones played by the audience.

About the piece:

A couple of years ago I started collecting media examples and people’s posts from social media concerning our country’s treatment of ‘boat people’ with the intention of using them as impetus for writing a piece of music. ‘For those who’ve come across the seas’ is partly a reflection on Australia’s current policies regarding those who arrive by boat to our country. The contradiction of our current policies to words in our national anthem is striking and concerning, especially as it is quite clear that some Australians feel that they certainly do not have ‘boundless plains to share’.

‘For those...’ is also an ode to ‘boat people’ and to the contribution that they have made to our country, past and present. It is a celebration of just how positively these lines in our national anthem have influenced our country’s development, making it into the wonderful, colourful place it is. 

‘For those...’ uses fragments from various Kyrie Eleison (Lord Have Mercy) settings from traditional masses, the morse code signal for S.O.S. and our national anthem. The audience is invited to download or play via live streaming an accompanying audio track of their choice. They are then invited to participate in the performance by playing their chosen track on their smart phone, forming a ‘choir’ to accompany Zephyr Quartet’s live performance.
