For centuries, composers have set poetry to music, giving us chant, chanson, lieder, art song and even opera and music theatre. Joined by Susan Ellis, Catherine Broadstock has taken a slightly different approach, choosing poetry that expresses and celebrates the wonder of our Australian landscape and matched it to evocative and beautiful works by Australian composers.
