JOURNEYINGS
(New
CD by The Vocal Consort)
The
Consort is Australia's leading vocal ensemble.
It was formed in 1984 and consists of former members
of the Australian Boys Choir. It has made several
recordings and has toured overseas to critical
acclaim.
Its conductor
is Noel Ancell and they made this new recording
at Melba Hall, University of Melbourne, in November
2004. There are 19 tracks totalling 67 minutes of
superb music.
Track
4 is a piece entitled "Roadways", text
by John Masefield and music by New Zealand composer
David Hamilton. It requires a whistler, and with
the permission of the composer, Fred was invited
to play this part on the piccolo. It worked!
The music
on the CD is of world class standard and very beautiful.
Highly recommended.
