The poem ‘Where Go the Boats?’ comes from ‘A Child’s Garden of Verses’ by Robert Louis Stephenson and is set for SA choir with piano accompaniment. The song offers many musical challenges, covering a broad pitch range with occasional further subdivisions of parts, making this work suitable for a more advanced ensemble. The work was commissioned by Trinity College, Summerhill in 2018 as part of my role as Composer Fellow. ‘Where Go the Boats?’ and its companion song, ‘Autumn Fires’, are to be recorded by Birralee Voices, Brisbane in 2021.
