Aubade and Nocturne
Music of Sally Greenaway
One of the most striking qualities of Greenaway's works for larger ensembles such as Aurora Musis Amica for winds, harp and percussion, The Blue Mountains or Elk Branches is that feeling for landscape which also characterises the music of Peter Sculthorpe or Nigel Westlake.

For a composer it is sheer joy to explore the colours and moods that an instrument creates. It entices us into a world of fancy, wonder and imagination. And when a composer expands into larger ensembles and orchestras, there opens up an endless variety of emotions and textures to explore and delight in…
Aubade & Nocturne features evocative and beautiful compositions by Australian composer Sally Greenaway. This music is intended to inspire and invigorate, from the most delicate solo piano works, to the all-enveloping orchestral works, and every size of ensemble in-between.
The music is beautifully performed by a stellar line-up of musicians, including violinist Barbara Jane Gilby, soprano Louise Page, flautists Vernon Hill and Teresa Rabe, pianist Sally Whitwell, harpist Liena Lacey, cellist Gillian Pereira, the Royal College of Music Symphony Orchestra, Luminescence Chamber Choir, jazz trio Trichotomy and many more!
It's so easy to get swept away by Greenaway's impressive, evocative compositions.
