Australian Choral Anthology Volume 2 - SA choir
By choral
Regular price
$30.00
9 works for SA choir with distinctly Australian content, composed by various Australian composers.
A ‘call for scores’ requested that the word content must be of ‘distinctly Australian flavour’. More than 40 works were submitted, obviously more than one volume! Hence, three volumes have emerged with one each for SATB choirs (mostly with piano accompaniment); a SA choir; and choir with instruments other than piano (with separate instrument parts). As a result, their words have captured our Australian fabric; gum trees, many types of birds - kookaburras, magpies, currawong, even the Indian miner bird, and more - brumbies, bushfires, climate, seasons, and of course, arrangements of traditional folk songs.
Overall, we have tried to make this project as accessible as possible to ensure that this Australian music is heard and appreciated by many and enjoyed by the singers.
Multiple choir copies of any of the works can be purchased individually under license at very reasonable rates. Please contact keats@wirripang.com.au

Outdoor Suite
By Rod Heard
Regular price
$25.00
The 4 pieces comprising the Outdoor Suite are written with the young trumpeter in mind featuring comfortable keys, phrasing and range that will suit a player of intermediate grade.
The time durations and rhythmic figures are within the skill set of a young player but with some challenges, particularly the syncopations in some of the pieces.
Composed 2017
