Terra Australis - Ballet
by Esther Rofe ; composed 1946
from this site:
http://www.abc.net.au/classic/content/2013/01/10/3667001.htm
I was bowled over by the quality of this music..Esther Rofe is an excellent composer and should be much better known.
This Ballet is in the general style of Ruth Gipps or Grace Williams with glowing melodies and fine orchestration.
The theme of the Ballet is the hardships of early Australia, the encounter with civilzation, and the expected sympatico for the mistreated aboriginees.
