Abstract

Bird Migrants is a composition for voice and electronics, based on the poem The Great Egret by Hazel Smith. A couple marry each other from the opposite banks of a river that flows through divided country. The great egret represents the tragic history of the country and its longing for flight and freedom. The poem was written for the Bimblebox project, a developing project around the 153 bird species that have been recorded on the Bimblebox Nature Refuge in central western Queensland, which is under threat by coal mining developments.
