Description

This song/poem by convict poet Frank MacNamara ‘Seizure Of The Cyprus Brig In Recherche Bay’ is about the seizing of the Cyprus Brig in Recherche Bay by convicts and escaping from Tasmania in 1829.This song was popular among convicts of the time. . MacNamara’s melody has been lost to time, so his lyrics have been reset to music by Fiona Hickie. This arrangement for wind quintet is a theme and variations, including a slow, classical version, a dance, a jazz waltz and a march.
