Taming the Tasman - composed by Dale Vail in 2019 for the Tasman Trio with support from creative New Zealand.

An exciting work for Violin, Cello, and Piano, this piece is not for the faint hearted. Depicting the journey of travelling across the Tasman to begin a new life in a brand new country, this work is full of excitement, despair, and determination. Underlined by the composers jazz influences, this autobiographical work uses the migration of birds between New Zealand and Australia as an allegory for the composers own experiences. 

Movement 1, Into the West depicts the perilous journey across the Tasman, and the intensity of being dropped into a new place to fend for yourself.

Movement 2, Alone in a Crowd, tells the story of the loneliness that can come from being just that little bit out of place in a new society, whilst also full of character and strong personality.

Movement 3, Broken Wing, begins with everything being too much, and reflecting on the many failures of the journey, but finishes with a vengeance and determination to prevail.
