About
Andrew Schultz, currently Professor of Composition at Wollongong University, is a prolific composer, and has written a large body of chamber music. This CD is the second colume of chamber music by Schultz released by Tall Poppies. It contains nine works, performed by a selection of wonderful Australian musicians.
Andrew Schultz is possibly best-known for his longer works for orchestra, but in his chamber music he expresses the more personal feelings one would expect from smaller more intimate works.
The music is full of variety, ranging from the excitement of Stick Dance III, to the intricacies of the 12 Variations for Piano duo, to the drama of the Suspended Preludes for bass and piano (commissioned by Tall Poppies with funding assistance from the Australia Council).
This CD has been produced with assistance from the University of Wollongong.
