Seasons Fanfare Ceremonial A

Details

CreatorSundstrup, LeifCultural AdviceAboriginal and Torres Strait Islander researchers should be aware that this item may contain voices or names of people who have since passed away.DescriptionThe Seasons Fanfare was commissioned by Charles Darwin University to coincide with its 25th Anniversary. Composed by Dr Leif Sundstrup, the work celebrates both the diverse Territory seasons and the celebration of the university ritual with understated transformations representing the Darwinian principles of life. Although a modern work in contraction, the fanfare is both accessible and memorable, framing the academic environment and lasting tradition of the Charles Darwin University. The Fanfare represents both the antiquity and grandeur of university life, based on three recurring and transforming themes: The University, The Dignitaries, and The Seasons. Amongst the developing musical subjects throughout the fanfare can be heard distinct representations of the seasons including the build up with thunder storms, slow moving breezes of the tranquil dry, and a hint of the Darwin’s Finches (Galápagos finches) which played an important part in his theories. The work is written in a traditionally classical style to reflect the long and important history of the Charles Darwin University and its maturation over the past twenty-five years.Date2012PersonSundstrup, LeifEventGraduationOrganisationCharles Darwin UniversityKeywordPerforming Arts MusicPlace of PublicationDarwin, Northern TerritoryPublisherCharles Darwin UniversityCollectionMultimedia CollectionRightsCharles Darwin University
