Description:
This composition depicts the journey of Abel Tasman, a famous explorer from the Dutch village of Lutjegast. The work spans an arc from his arrival in Tasmania, which was later named after him, to the dramatic ending of this story. This creates an emotional balance between the adventure and the tragic consequences for the island's indigenous people. Lyrical sounds alternate with rhythmic and powerful passages, creating a multifaceted work.
