Product Description

Composers Note - To Your Shore

My cultural heritage is mixed: I was born of a Caucasian Australian father of Welsh descent and a Chinese mother from Penang who settled in Australia after some years in Brunei. Thus I find myself frequently pondering the immigrant experience. I wrote the text of To Your Shore to act as kind of twin soliloquies: the first from a person on a boat catching first sight of land, the second from another person standing on the shore ready to welcome the ship they spy on the horizon. I tried to evoke a mixture of trepidation and hope you might feel whilst on your way to a new life in a place where you dont yet speak the language, where societys customs and traditions are different, where the climate and the environment feel so very foreign to you, but where you might have a chance at building a happier life.
