Bloodying of Innocence, The #1
By Brennan Keats
Regular price
$31.00

This work is intended to be performed in those concerts or broadcasts that may transpire before two National days of importance, namely ANZAC Day and Armistice Day, also known as Remembrance Day.
The work portrays the innocence the young men and women took with them to war and which was truly bloodied and destroyed by the process of conflict. The centrepiece of the composition is the sounding of the Last Post by the bass flute with echoes by the flute and alto flute both underpinned by ominous beats from the contra bass flute. Composed 2015.
