apple from fruit songs by Kerry Andrew Composer

'Fruit Songs' was originally written for the soprano Sarah Dacey and acoustic guitar. It has undergone other arrangements for chamber group (soprano, clarinet, violin, 'cello, piano and percussion) and for soprano and piano.

This version is sung by Jenny Duck-Chong with Janet Agostino on guitar, as part of the group Halcyon, a brilliant Australian ensemble who champion new music and have also given the Australian premieres of my works 'luna-cy' and 'ojo'. www.halcyon.org.au

'Kerry Andrew’s ‘fruit songs’ …treat the voice as a circus acrobat treats a trapeze.' North Shore Times, Sydney, 2006
