Work Overview
Songs of Sea and Sky was inspired by a traditional dance
song from Saibai, an island just south of Papua New Guinea, in
Torres Strait. The song was collected on Saibai by Jeremy Beckett
in May 1961.
Although some traditional Torres Strait music still survives in
its original form, most of that heard today is strongly
influenced by the religious music introduced by missionaries in
the nineteenth century. Nevertheless, its themes are still
predominantly of sea voyages, flights of birds and changes in sea
and sky.
The work is in one continuous movement consisting of seven parts
: Prelude, a somewhat dramatic saxophone solo;
Saibai, a reworking of the traditional melody;
Interlude, a second solo; Mission Hymn, a
variation of Saibai; Dance Song, a rhythmic
section based upon the material presented in the Prelude
and Interlude; Lament, a second variation of
Saibai; and Postlude, a brief coda. Following
the climax, at the end of the Dance Song, the emotional
content of the music culminates in the Lament. Here, the
music yearns for the years before white settlement.
