This medley of three popular traditional Australian songs is her presented in a lively and colourful arrangement for chamber orchestra. This arrangement works well as an encore or as part of a concert programme (duration: approx. 5'), and is a collection of three popular Australian folk songs: Botany Bay, Click Go The Shears & Waltzing Matilda. These were selected to cover three eras of Australian colonial history: a song from Australia's convict past, one from the development of the pastoral nation, and finishing with the stories of the bush-ranger history. Drawing on musical styles as diverse as folk song, Aaron Copland, and European ballroom dance music it is a fun and entertaining addition to any concert programme.
