Description

Lilburn’s A Song of Islands (1946) is an essential work to study in the history of New Zealand orchestral music. This early work is a fine example of how Lilburn directly intended to capture the essence of New Zealand as a whole. Central to this work is a chorale-like theme that develops through an arch-like form. This critical edition is the first computer-engraved publication of the work, and is the third of four volumes published in celebration of the centenary of Lilburn’s birth in 1915.
