Australia's National Anthem is a source of pride for Australians. We offer the first verse thoughtfully, with a piano part for accompaniment. A major key suits most voices. Great for school assemblies. Suitable for Grade 2 String Orchestra.
Ideal for a festival orchestra with players at different levels, this piece is based on the medieval melody "L'Homme Arme", depicting a sword-wielding warrior. The middle section features a violin solo as a lullaby reflecting the armed man's war experiences. The final section celebrates the armed man walking in the light of peace and liberty with the South African song "Simbayama".
