Please share your thoughts on these two pieces of music by an Australian composer.

Can you compare the 'feelings' that the two pieces create? (second piece starts at 4'30") Can you explain how the music creates these feelings? (long notes, short notes, dynamics, tempo, etc)

What is the dynamic level at 3'37"?  What about at 2'16"?

Do you think this music is truly Australian? Why/why not?
