But beyond these celebrated performers, the history of Australia's female composers is equally outstanding.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eMiriam Hyde, Dulcie Holland and Margaret Sutherland were hugely influential in the early years of Australia's musical development. Peggy Glanville-Hicks and Anne Boyd looked beyond their borders to the musical traditions of other cultures, and sought to find a place for Australia among the community of musical nations. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eElena Kats-Chernin is a phenomenon unto herself, arguably Australia's most popular and best known composer. Yuin woman Brenda Gifford brings insights from her Indigenous culture to the Western classical tradition. And composers such as Sally Whitwell, Maria Grenfell, Kate Moore, Nicole Murphy and Olivia Bettina Davies represent the myriad ways in which classical music is developing in the 21st century.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThis 2CD mid price compilation is a fascinating journey through the history of Australian composition, highlighting just how much of that history has been written by women.\u003cp\u003eMiriam Hyde: Piano Concerto No. 1 In E-Flat Minor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMargaret Sutherland: Concerto For Violin And Orchestra\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDulcie Holland: Piano Trio (1944) Live Recording\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnne Boyd: As I Crossed A Bridge Of Dreams\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElena Kats-Chernin: Russian Rag\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaria Grenfell: Di Primavera (Of Spring)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeggy Glanville-Hicks: Etruscan Concerto\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSally Whitwell: Road Trip\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKate Moore: Fern\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNicole Murphy: Spinning Top\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrenda Gifford: Bardju (Footprints)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOlivia Bettina Davies: Crystalline\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55134923063681,"sku":"1017505","price":17.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51Yu7olidWL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767184597","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1017505","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
