Description:
In 2005 The Royal Marines Band Service commissioned Martin Ellerby for a Wind Band transcription of Terra Australis. Originally commissed by the YBS Band, in consultation with their professional conductor Professor David King, for their 2005 tour of Australia, the composer has constructed this single-movement work by using three elements of Australian life. A dramatic illusion of the country's natural wonders and landscape, the spirit of Captain Cook's voyage in Endeavour and finally a salute to Australia's fallen in overseas wars.
