The Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra performs a powerful and dynamic work by GRAMMY-nominated composer, Anna Clyne.
Anna Clyne's Restless Oceans is a powerful and dynamic orchestral work that captures the intense and unpredictable energy of the ocean. Premiered in 2019, the piece is characterised by its driving rhythms, vibrant textures, and a sense of constant motion. The music ebbs and flows, much like the tides, with moments of calm interrupted by surges of intense activity. Clyne composed Restless Oceans as a reflection on the strength and resilience of women, inspired by Audre Lorde’s poem A Woman Speaks. In the words of the composer, ‘My intention was to write a defiant piece that embraces the power of women.’ The piece is structured in a way that it feels almost like a continuous wave, with the orchestra building up in layers, creating a sense of forward momentum and inevitability. Percussion plays a significant role, adding to the piece's raw energy and intensity.
Performed live as 13 September 24 at Federation Concert Hall, Nipaluna / Hobart, Tasmania, Australia
