- This work for School Orchestra was written for the Tamworth Regional Youth Orchestra in New South Wales, Australia. The idea and title came about through my memory of playing medleys in school orchestra as a child – relatively unrelated material, structurally and stylistically, stuck together with fairly abrupt juxtapositions. I set out to follow this model with original material. It appealed to my sense of the silly.
