Description
Kakadu is recognized as one of Australia's most beautiful national park. Amongst other things, it is known for its prolific wildlife. The first of these two pieces explores the mood that one would feel at sunrise looking over an expanse of water as all forms of bird life awaken. There is a section where players can improvise to reflect this wondrous sight. "Twilight Trek" in contrast to this, describes a journey by foot at dusk where explorers discover all sorts of surprises. The staccato notes, pizzicato melodies and sudden fortes really communicate the sense of trepidation and excitement.
