Twist

Twist, composed for wind orchestra, is inspired by the shape, spirit and history of Australia’s magnanimous waterway, the Murray River (the Wiradjuri people of the Albury-Wodonga region call the river ‘Millewa’). The work is divided into 6 sections, each is subtitled: Survival, Reflection, Discovery, Obsession, Carnevale & Ascension. An amazing journey through the Australian landscape.
