World Premiere of David Pyes cicadan rhythms
Fremantle Symphony Orchestra join with Defying Gravity, the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts’ Percusison Ensemble, and BellsWest, handbell ringers of WA, to present a tour de force under the baton of David Pye.
cicadan rhythms, was commissioned in 2006 by Southern Forest Arts for the Sculpture Trail at Northcliffe. Rescored earlier this year for a standard orchestra, 14 keyboard percussion players, an ensemble of 11 angklung players and tape, it draws its inspiration from the rhythmic pattern of cicadas, which Pye notated in the karri forests of the south west.
Another highlight of the program is Percy Grainger's The Warriors, his wildly exuberant and extravagant tone poem for large orchestra.
The program opens with Kodaly's colourful
Hary Janos Suite.
