I REMEMBER JADCD 1094

Works by: Eric Gross, Ann Carr-Boyd, Robert Allworth, Richard Austin, Derek Strahan. Duration: 70'18

One of the aims of the Jade label is to preserve Australian musical history by re-mastering and releasing significant recordings. The centrepiece of this release is a live recording made in Christ Church St. Lawrence, Sydney, at the Liturgy on Good Friday in 1979, sung to traditional plainchant with choruses by Tomas Luis de Victoria (1549-1611) by Charles Dale, Donald Haws and Brian Copeland with the Church choir conducted by Colin Sapsford. This is preceded by Allworth's Times Remembered for 3 oboes and two organ works by Eric Gross. The religious theme is also present in solo piano and organ works by Allworth, and No. 4 of Austin's Meditations (for piano) on the Ten Commandments.

Secular music is represented by Allworth's 3 piano solos titled after well-known TV soap operas, Carr-Boyd's jazzy piano piece Carl's Motel Music, and 3 of Strahan's satirical songs for voice and guitar written for a Breakfast Show TV spot, and performed by the composer. A larger selection of Strahan's songs can be heard on the CD Take Me To Your Leader RDS004, available at CD Baby.
