String Orchestra

Fever of the Sea - string orchestra

By Brennan Keats

$100.00 Sale

Concerto for violin, viola and string orchestra, c.9'40

This concerto uses extracts drawn from John Masefield’s (1878-1967) famous poem ‘Sea Fever’. No ship is ever still, be she made of wood or steel, restless water keeps up a never-ending impact on her hull. In the wooden hulls of the time of Masefield all vessels are forever groaning, creaking. cracking and working and so it is with the music to hand. There is a constant momentum in the Double Bass with support for the Cellos at times as Masefield’s ship is either alongside or riding the ocean. A restless poet and poem in every sense of the word accompanied by equally restless music written by one who loves and respects the sea.
Composed 2019

    Five Australian Scenes for String Orchestra

    By Martin Lass

    $150.00 Sale

    for String Orchestra , c.20'00

    Five Australian Scenes for String Orchestra was conceived with specific iconic Australian places in mind, as well as with the intention to convey the experience of these places programmatically through the music. As such, the pieces could have just as successfully been called Australian Days, because each piece represents a kind of day journey in microcosm, like a travel diary set to music. The points of
    interest in each day are indicated sequentially in the music.

    Composed 2024.

A tunnel was bored through a low mountain to gain access. Since then, the railway itself now removed but the path of it remaining, the tunnel has become the home of thousands of glowworms - a magical and awe-inspiring experience to witness. The piece depicts the journey along the former rail line, the experience of the glowworm tunnel, and the journey back.
