Jade CDs are widely heard on national and fine music stations throughout Australia, and are recognized as a valuable resource by educational authorities as being uniquely representative of the work of Australian composers. They are manufactured in limited runs of 500 and stocks are therefore may be regarded as collectors’ items! All Jade CD covers are distinctive. Most Jade CDs have an anthology format and include works by several composers. It’s great to have these CDs on offer for a wider audience at iMusicStage.

"BEST OF AUSTRALIAN CLASSICS" JADCD 1065 Works by: Colin Brumby, Dulcie Holland, Eric Gross, Derek Strahan, Ann Carr-Boyd, Bruce Cale, Robert Allworth. Duration: 59.35. A wide variety of music. Big sounds from the Queensland Symphony Orchestra playing Brumby’s "South Bank Overture"(1985); Holland’s solo piano in the skittish "Three Dances for a New Doll"(1942); remastering of Allworth’s "Cremorne Pastorale"(1970) for celesta, piano & string orchestra and Bruce Cale’s intriguing "Cullenbenbong" for Bass Recorder & Temple Bells. The CD contains the first CD release of Strahan’s film music for Robert Raymond’s 1968 film documentary on the Leyland Brothers’ transit of Australia by 4-wheel drive in "Trans Australia Suite No. 1” which combines original themes with quotations from Australian folk songs. "Trans Australia Suite No. 2” can be heard on another jade CD, “Music For A Çhampagne Breakfast Vol.2” JADCD1075. Other film music by Derek Strahan can be heard on other Jade CDs: “The Glasshouse Suite” JADCD1057 ("On The Reef" Suite 1), “Romantic Australian Classics” JADCD1061 ("On The Reef" Suite 2), “Afternoon Light” JADCD1076 (Suites 1 & 2 of "The Australian Ark") “Fandango” JADCD1078 (Suites 3 & 4 of "The Australian Ark") and “Dulcie Holland & Friends” JADCD1089 (Suite 5 of "The Australian Ark").

Works by: Colin Brumby, Dulcie Holland, Eric Gross, Derek Strahan, Ann Carr-Boyd, Bruce Cale, Robert Allworth. A wide variety of music. Big sounds from the Queensland Symphony Orchestra playing Brumby’s "South Bank Overture"(1985), Holland’s solo piano in the skittish "Three Dances for a New Doll"(1942), remastering of Allworth’s "Cremorne Pastorale"(1970) for celesta, piano & string orchestra, and Bruce Cale’s intriguing "Cullenbenbong" for Bass Recorder & Seven Japanese Temple Bells.

Ann Carr-Boyds attractive "Fandango" is scored for mandolin ensemble. Its latin pulse has made it one of the most broadcast pieces of Australian music over the past decade.

It also features the first CD release of Strahan’s film music for Robert Raymond’s 1968 film documentary on the Leyland Brothers’ transit of Australia by 4-wheel drive in "Trans Australia Suite No. 1". Scored for strings, flute, french horn trumpet, trombone and double percussion, the music evokes varying aspects of the Australian landscape, the beauty of the billabong, the loneliness of the desert, and the monumental splendour of Ayres Rock (now renamed Uluru).
