There is Music – Morton Music Exclusive |
New Release – One of Stephen Leek’s exclusive digital releases directly through Morton Music – email admin@mortonmusic.com for details. There is Music – A Song Cycle of the Ages is for SATB Choir, solo alto and string quartet. It was commissioned by Graeme Morton and the Brisbane Chamber Choir in 2024. “The pathway of life takes many twists and turns, experiencing joys and tragedies. What is a life other than a collection of memories? As one enters the latter years, often memories are the only reminders of the long journey – memories that are triggered by beauty, images, sounds, colours, … and of course, music.” Listen to this recording of the piece’s final movement, recorded by the Brisbane Chamber Choir (dir. Graeme Morton) on 25th April 2025 in St John’s Anglican Cathedral, Brisbane. Want to learn more about this fascinating piece?
