More "Corroboree"
WO new movements of John Antill’s Corroboree were given their world premiere on October 3 by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra (conductor, Joseph Post). They are named respectively "The Morning Star Dance"* and "The Spirit of the Wind." "The Morning Star Dance" is a _ short, slow movement, written for strings, harp, and bass clarinet as the solo instrument. There is a persistent tambourine rhythm, the tambourine not being’shaken in the usual way, but played with snare drum sticks. In "The Spirit of the Wind" there are fast, gentle passages for flutes and strings, gradually working up to a frenzied middle section in which glissando brass is used to advantage, the movement concluding with a solitary piccolo note.
