Gary,Songs of Sea and Sky is a very effective piece. It is about 15'
long, lyrical,atmospheric and rather different. It uses no extended
techniques and is not terribly difficult. it is a programmatic work,in
part having to do with the conflict of Christian missionaries and the
indigenous people of the Torres Strait, north of Australia.
It is published by Faber Music.
