Botany Bay Duet

Notes from the Composer:

Botany Bay:  Duet

Botany Bay is a well-known folk melody in Australia that describes the loneliness of convicts transported to the Eastern shores of the remote continent as punishment for frequently minor crimes in England. They were part of the rugged individuals who forged a new culture. This duet provides interesting responsibilities for both parts, melding into a musically interesting arrangement.
