General's Garden, The

Baritone and piano c.10'00

The lyrics are taken from extracts of letters from General Sir John Monash written while he was on active duty at Gallipoli. After such intensive fighting his letters home were filled with longing for his former life and in particular his garden. A solemn and introspective song in 'lieder' tradition but includes more modern techniques.  Winner of the Gallipoli Songs Prize in 2015. 
Composed 2014.
