Australia - East and West - CD

By Blom, Bennett

Regular price $25.00 Sale

New music for viola and piano by Australian Composers

 


Dawn Bennett, viola and Diana Blom, piano

When two musicians undertake research into the music they perform, thoughts will inevitably turn to a creative research project in which they can put this focus into practice. Australia East and West sought to foster national and international interest in contemporary classical music written by Australian composers through new music for viola and piano.
The project was devised by composer and pianist Diana Blom and violist Dawn Bennett, who commissioned, performed, recorded and researched a program of new works for viola and piano by Australian composers – Alice Humphries, Michael Hannan, John Encarnacao, Nicole Murphy, Cat Hope, Diana Blom, Lisa Cheney, and Clare Maclean.
The project resulted in nine new works which connected to the project title through their exploration of aural, cultural and creative notions of Eastern and Western Australia. Diana lives in Sydney and Dawn in Perth, so the two sides of the large Australian continent were in our minds, and we had associations with composers on each coast.

Credo (Maclean)

By Clare Maclean

Part of the Osanna Mass which is based on the set of plainchants for the Mass, Kyriale IX (Cum iubilo) and several Jewish liturgical melodies.

The Mass won the Australian Art Music award for vocal/choral composition in 2012.

Part of the Osanna Mass which is based on the set of plainchants for the Mass IX in the Liber Usualis.  The plainchant appears initially in a slow canon at the interval of the minor second, and, as it sets the text in the original and less familiar Hebrew, is an expression of the darkness that is the excess of light of God's holiness.  The Mass won the Australian Art Music award for vocal/choral composition in 2012.

Short Tracks - CD

By Diana Blom

Regular price $25.00 Sale

Short pieces for instrumental music

Diana Blom, creator

In repertoire for one or two instruments, there are many works which are very short – miniatures, perhaps - yet deserve to be heard and enjoyed. The CD, Short Tracks, has assembled 36 tracks of short pieces from the 20th-21st centuries, most under 4 minutes in length, most, but not all, stand-alone works. The composers and performers are from Australia, UK, Italy, USA, Israel and musical styles range from tonal to improvisatory exploration.

Listening to the whole CD is a journey with changing musical landscapes. And choosing one or two tracks is a musical smorgasbord.
