Flute and piano, c.4'00. Grade 5
This piece was conceived as a duo where both voices have the opportunity to speak independently in a relaxed yet virtuosic manner, and then to combine in conversation as true equals. It spans classical and jazz traditions and explores the same melodic material within these two musical styles.

Across the Oceans Deep and Blue (flute)
By John Peterson
Regular price
$25.00
Flute and piano, c.4'20. HSC level of difficultyAcross the Oceans Deep and Blue is inspired by the fact that Australia is an island continent, and the music represents a vision of the deep blue oceans that surround it. The flute melodies begin with simple statements of motivic figures that continue to develop in intensity as the music progresses, all the while supported by piano music that is built frequently on rich harmonies derived from ascending perfect 5th intervals, all of which is intended to reinforce the concept of not only the profundity and power of the ocean but also the richness of its colours.

Across the Oceans Deep and Blue (piano 4 hands)
By John Peterson
Regular price
$25.00
Piano four hands, c.5'00. The music of Across the Oceans (Deep and Blue) attempts to evoke the image of a vast expanse of ocean as it extends towards an endless horizon. Although this expanse of ocean can at first glance seem to be unchanging, it is always in constant motion, with the ebb and flow of the waves, and the blue colours are in constant variation. Sailing across the ocean can be an exciting but also sometimes slightly fearful experience, as we can on occasion become aware that the power of the sea is beyond our control. Thus, while the music is, for the most part, content to evoke a gently flowing and relatively peaceful experience, there are moments that hint at the more turbulent and unpredictable nature of the ocean itself. Much of the harmonic material for this music is derived from a vertical arrangement of ascending perfect 5th intervals, (an ascending C-G-D-A chord, for example) creating chords that are wonderfully rich in harmonic sonorities. The intent here was to evoke the mysterious depths of the ocean, and the power of these bodies of water.

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)
