The Australian Landscape in Poetry and Music

For centuries, composers have set poetry to music, giving us chant, chanson, lieder, art song and even opera and music theatre. Catherine Broadstock has taken a slightly different approach, choosing poetry that expresses and celebrates the wonder of our Australian landscape and matched it to evocative and beautiful works by Australian composers.
