The Big Blue For Orchestra Full SET PARTS

CAERWEN MARTIN 2021

DURATION 7:05 minutes

 

The Big Blue was written to honour those who experienced the devastating SE Australian bush fires of 2019/2020. When the South East Corner of Australia was up in flames, over 2000 people sat on the Mallacoota foreshore in Far East Gippsland. While fire engulfed their town and smoke billowed out into the atmosphere, the community of Mallacoota held strong, seeking refuge by the ocean, sharing stories, resources and vital information, and searching the horizon for solace in the interacting colours of the waves, sky and sea. When close-knit rural communities experience such catastrophic environmental trauma and loss, adults come together to protect the children; to buffer the emotional impact of what they see. There is a beauty in this kindness. This work looks to the colours in the sea and sky to try and make sense of what we see.
