Welcome to our friends from across the Tasman! Higdon here explored the relationship of colours, mood and music which resulted in two movements entitled “Pale Yellow” and “Fiery Red.” Meanwhile, New Zealand composer Jelleyman, renowned for inventive melodies and harmonies, took his inspiration from Bach chorales, and lastly the deep emotions of Armenian culture shine through in Babadjanian’s compelling Trio. The latter was a contemporary of Prokofiev, Shostakovich and fellow Armenian Khatchaturian and avoided censure under Stalin, presumably due to his enthusiastic use of folk idiom and strong pride in his native land.
