Composed in 1950 and popularised by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, this evocative work is a testament to the achievement of Margaret Sutherland's creative output. The programme notes, taken from the Australian Music Centre website, are fairly simple: A sound picture written in contemplation of the first people who roamed the hills, their bewilderment and their betrayal, frenzied dance : its seeming gaiety born of despair. Available for advanced symphonic wind ensembles (including parts for Harp and Celesta) for the first time, this wonderful work deserves to be enjoyed by audiences around the world. Running time: approximately 14-15 minutes. Arranged as part of a project to bring more music by women into the worldwide band repertoire. #ArrangeMeGoals2023.
