This music provides the first integrated audio collection of these works by Iain Grandage, whereby uniquely 'Australian' qualities may be examined. Through analysis of compositional techniques which define the convergence, an overall picture of what may define Australian choral music is well defined. This recording identifies convergences between Western compositional style, Aboriginal song and sounds of the Australian landscape. It presents the only aurally documented evidence of these works, whereby they can be examined within the context of performance which was recorded in the presence of the composer. Recorded at Harold Lobb Concert Hall at the University of Newcastle Conservatorium.
