Adelaide Overture (orchestral)
By Miriam Hyde
Regular price
$250.00
For Orchestra
Adelaide Overture was written in 1935 (while a student at the Royal College of Music, London) in the happy anticipation of South Australia's Centenary in 1936. It is headed Allegro pomposo and is frankly pompous, conveying an impression of splendour and rejoicing at the close of our first century's progress and achievement. It also embodies something of the wild romance of our native bush, and is not without its moments of tragedy - the tragedy of our pioneers who fought a noble battle against the hardships and loneliness of a life in a new, unexplored colony. But it ends in confident, triumphant strains, proud of the past, and with faith to meet the future. (Miriam Hyde)
Composed 1935

Sonatas for Flute and Piano by Australian Women
"The flute is an instrument blessed with an expressiveness all its own. Lustrous and penetrating, tender and lyrical, charming and sensual, its hues would put a chameleon to shame." (Rhein, 1963)
The above quote has been taken from a review John von Rhein wrote about the well-known flute virtuoso Donald Peck who was, for some time, the teacher of James Kortum. It expresses the many wonderful qualities of the flute as an instrument, capable of a variety of sounds, an instrument capable of adjusting its basic colour characteristics to suit the style of the works that are being performed. The five flute sonatas on this recording are all quite different in style and employ different timbres with only these two aspects in common – they are all written by an Australian composer who was also a woman. The sonatas by Miriam Hyde and Phyllis Batchelor have already joined the stream of traditional flute repertoire but the two sonatas by Meta Overman and the solo flute sonata by Margery Smith, written especially for the virtuosity of James Kortum are recorded here for the first time.
