Quong Lee's Aria (Harvest Moon in Spring)

About

The Kate Kelly Song Cycle, a collaboration between New Zealand composer Ross James Carey and Central-west NSW writer Merrill Findlay, documents in song the life of one of Australia’s most famous daughters, Kate Kelly.

The premiere of the work was given at the first Kilari-Lachlan River Arts Festival in Forbes, Central-west New South Wales on September 4 2011 by soprano Sian Prior, members of the Forbes Choir and Forbes Choir for Seniors, and an instrumental ensemble conducted by Bill Moxely.

1. Prologue: Bricky’s Sorry Song
   
2. Quong Lee’s Aria (Harvest Moon in Spring)
   
3. Ghosts of Glenrowan
   
4. Poor Irish and Wiradjuri
   
5. I Heard the Banshee Cry
