The Archbold Duo is committed to promoting Australian works of music. We have put together a program that highlights some of the modern classical composition of Australia. The works are
Maninya 1 - Ross Edwards - a fascinating work that creates an atmosphere of the Australian outback using nonsense syllables in the vocal part.
Uluru Song
Reclaiming the Spirit - Sarah Hopkins - a work that imitates the Aboriginal sounds of music including bird calls and the digeredoo
Threnody - Peter Sculthorpe
On the Beach at Night - Michael Knopf - this is a stunning work that requires the singer to play several gongs
