From the composer:
"Songs of Sea and Sky was inspired by a traditional melody from Saibai, an island just south of Paua New Guinea, in Torres Strait. The melody was collected on Saibai by Jeremy Beckett in May 1961.Although some traditional Torres Strait music still survives in its original form, most of that heard today is strongly influenced by the religious music introduced by missionaries in the nineteenth century. Nevertheless, its themes are still predominantly of sea voyages, flights of birds and changes in sea and sky."
