Programme Notes

Siegfried Interlude No. 2 was commissioned by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra for first performance at the launch of their 2000 Season. It uses some of the themes from Act II of Wagner’s Siegfried, including Siegfried’s “Nothung” cries and the woodbird’s theme. It can perhaps best be described as Siegfried meets Purple Haze.

for double bass and piano

duration: approximately 7 minutes

Programme Notes

Yandarra is an Australian aboriginal word which roughly translates as “place of storms”. This work was written with images of desolate, windswept landscapes in mind, harsh places yet containing great beauty and integrity.
