Concert Band - Level 5 - Digital Download
SKU: A0.1616236
Composed by Margaret Ada Sutherland. Arranged by John Ivor Holland. This edition: pdf, streaming. 20th Century, Classical, Contemporary, Contest, Festival, Multicultural, World. 127 pages. John Ivor Holland #1185498. Published by John Ivor Holland (A0.1616236).
Margaret Sutherland was one of the most innovative and influential Australian composers. In the first half of the twentieth century, her desire to be both serious composer and mother was atypical, and she faced significant challenges – public and private – in blending these roles. Against the backdrop of an unhappy and unsupportive marriage and a society not yet ready to accept her creative ambitions and strong views on Australia’s musical development, she remained admirably steadfast in pursuing her goals. Sutherland created over two hundred compositions, ceaselessly campaigned on behalf of Australian music and musicians, and led the initial push to construct what is now Arts Centre Melbourne. In her attempts to redefine beauty in music she used idiosyncratic musical language, being at the mercy of ‘sound pictures’ and ‘floating ideas’. 'Open Air Piece' dates from around 1953 and is full of fanfare-like passages and bubbling rhythms, suggesting a busy scene, but there are brief moments of calm - this transcription for concert band retains the original key (B minor) of the orchestral version, although, as is characteristic of Sutherland's writing is very fluid, so a great piece for advanced bands to perform out in the community. Arranged as part of an ongoing project to bring more music by women composers into the worldwide repertoire. #ArrangeMeGoals2023.
