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.

"THE GLASS HOUSE SUITE" JADCD 1057 Works by: Olive Anderson, Dulcie Holland, Colin Brumby, Ann Carr-Boyd, Larry Sitsky, Derek Strahan, Lawrence Bartlett, Robert Allworth, Eric Gross. Duration; 72.44 On the cover is a photo of the Sydney Opera House, a view showing the glass panels. Sitsky’s Sonata for Solo Mandolin is inspired by Hindu mythology. Holland and Allworth each contributes an elegy to a remembered friend. Anderson’s title piece reflects her love of the Australian landscape. Strahan’s jazz-influenced film music "On The Reef" is scored for electronic organ, alto saxophone, guitar, electric guitar bass and percussion. It depicts aspects of the Great Barrier Reef, both its underwater denizens and the humans who observe it, and was written for two episodes in the major TV documentary series “Shell’s Australia” produced by the late Robert Raymond, which was shown widely both in Australia and overseas. Jazz rhythms also abound in the Rondo from Brumby’s Clarinet Concerto. Other music film from the “Shell’s Australia” series can be heard on other Jade CDs: “Romantic Australian Classics” JADCD1061 ("On The Reef" Suite 2). “Afternoon Light” JADCD1076, “Fandango” JADCD1078, and “Dulcie Holland & Friends” JADCD1089. This CD contains a range of musical styles and offers an attractive overview of Australian music composition from 1964 to 1996.
