Across the Fields, draws its inspiration from open pastoral landscapes, their wide expanses, and changes through the seasons.
Motivated by health and the journey to overcome setbacks, each track invites the listener into a sound world of quiet reflection through the textural combination of viola and felted piano.
Carefully sculpted by musicians Ed Le Brocq and Sally Greenaway, this album is perfectly distilled and deeply felt. Their collaboration is an intimate musical offering, a gift to listeners seeking a calming, immersive listening experience.
One of the most striking qualities of Greenaway's works ... is that feeling for landscape which also characterises the music of Peter Sculthorpe or Nigel Westlake, the spacious scoring and meandering melodiousness contributing to a sense of sublime restfulness.
There is an intimacy in her music that is the size and weight of a human life. Sally's music is an act of kindness. A bird song. The path of a swan. The pattern of a rose. It is light reflecting on water. It is walking through a forest.
This (Resonance) is a piece that shows just how good this composer is. The balance of voices, the depth of the style, combined with the moving lyrics. This is a major new work that proves that Australian composers are creating some of the most moving music.
expressive, introspective and emotionally satisfying original compositions...
