Two Shakespeare Songs
By Wendy Hiscocks
Regular price
$20.00
Voice and piano, c.3'30. Grade 8 1. When Icicles hang by the Wall [c.2'06] (from Shakespeare’s Love's Labours Lost) picture the icy north wind as the storyteller. Outwardly she's cold and icy, frost glistening on her face, but inwardly she's full of fire, playful, humorous and thoroughly enjoying a nip at people's fingers and noses.
2. Where the Bee Sucks [c.1'05] (from The Tempest) reflects Ariel's feelings, a free spirit of light and air who, after years of imprisonment in the trunk of a tree, will be set free after his service to Prospero. As his release draws near, he breaks into delighted song and dance at the thought.
Composed 1991-92

Two Songs by Gordon Rodda (Rodda)
By Brennan Keats
Regular price
$10.00
Medium voice and piano.
- 1. Prayer, c.2'00
- 2. On a Gate & Tower at Yu-Chou, c.0'50
A gifted musician and pianist but little is known of Gordon Rodda. He shone on one occasion when the Australian pianist William Murdoch returned home during 1929 and one of his engagements was to play the Greig Piano Concerto with the ABC Orchestra in a broadcast. At the last-minute Murdoch became extremely ill and was unable to perform. Gordon Rodda was asked to ‘step in’ and so memorised the work overnight and the broadcast went ahead.
It is understood that Gordon was to go to Germany to further his pianistic career during the mid 1930’s and there he disappeared.
Composed by Gordon Rodda 1928/29. Edited by Brennan Keats 2020.

Voice of Australia (Medium to High)
By Miller, Dixon, Foulsham
Regular price
$65.00
Medium to High voice and piano. Songs by 12 Australian composers demonstrates the unique relationship between poet, composer, singer and pianist in the genre of art song.
Voice of Australia is an expression of art song and the unique relationship between poet, composer, singer and pianist which this genre exemplifies. A composer’s choice of text is neither arbitrary nor insignificant. It is the text that inspires the composer to translate words into music. The responsibility of performers is to discover the composer's intention and to share this with the audience.
Voice of Australia aims to provide an understanding of the fine balance between text, keyboard accompaniment and voice for each song. Singers have the advantage of using text as an expressive tool, but this advantage can only be fully realised by a shared understanding with the pianist. Performance of a well crafted art song demands textual understanding by both performers, as well as an appreciation of the intricacies of each others’ music.
To assist performers and teachers the authors have proposed Elementary, Intermediate and Advanced levels to equate with standard examination grades from 1st to 4th, 5th to 8th, and Associate level and above.
Composers chosen for this book epitomise the quintessential Australian voice. The Australian voice embodies many cultures and has been shaped by many influences. The various voices within our multi-cultural society have found expression in a wide range of musical styles. The authors have attempted to encompass this diversity in our book.
Backing tracks and vocal CD is included (performed by Wendy Dixon soprano, Tim Collins baritone, David Miller piano).
Also available in Medium to Low voice
