Description
Duration 9:20 min
"Borrowed Earth - A Fanfare and Prayer for Change" is the latest Grade 5 work from the pen of Victorian master composer Taran Carter. Here Taran presents us with a concert opener written to showcase the glorious power, precision and subtle finesse of an advanced wind ensemble.
It is superbly constructed and thoughtfully imagined, to make us contemplate the majesty and the fragility of the Earth we live on.
With this work, Taran continues to show the world his masterful orchestration and poignant subject matter so regularly found in his catalogue.
