Australiana

Drawing its inspiration from the land down under and featuring quotations from the traditional Australian tunes Waltzing Matilda, Bound for South Australia, and Advance Australia Fair in a glorious overture-style medley, this composition salutes the spirit, diversity, and proud heritage of the people of Australia. The musical emotions alternate between the hauntingly beautiful, reverent themes and the joyous, even raucous, folk tunes building to a glorious conclusion. (3:30)
