Program Notes

Ayers Rock is an impressive red rock located in Australia's Northern Territory. The original inhabitants of Australia, the Aborigines, call this rock Uluru, and it holds significant religious significance for them. Depending on the time of day and the weather, the rock quickly changes color, ranging from grayish-blue to glowing red. The work consists of three parts. The first part, titled "Ayers Rock," aims to portray the grand, imposing image of this rock. Part 2 paints an atmospheric picture of the rock at night, particularly expressing the mystical character of the Aborigines. In this part, a didgeridoo, a long wooden blowpipe, is used, introducing this nocturnal scene with its characteristic monotonous hum. Finally, part 3, titled "Sunset," is: As the sun rises behind the rock, it glows red. When a rain shower then breaks, Ayers Rock begins to shine dazzlingly.
