Dreamtime

Dan Price

Commissioned by Philip Harper for the Cory Bands 2013 tour to Australia, Dreamtime draws inspiration from Australian Aboriginal mythology. The Dreamtime is a sacred era in which the Aborigines believe ancestral totemic (symbolic) spirits created the world. The work is heavily percussive, including narration and a pseudo-didgeridoo, created with multi-phonics in euphoniums and tubas.

The work can still be performed without multi-phonics, narration and reduced percussion.

Duration: 00:07:30 (with narration)

Grade: 5
