Bathurst Stain

from Haiku Music - Volume 1 by George L Smyth

/

about

This was written in response to the following haiku by Peita Vincent:

Poisoned Waterhole:
Violent disregard echoes.
Keenly felt today.

I know little about the history of Australia, but Americans know how we treated the indigenous people when the Europeans arrived. This is a stain on our history that cannot be erased, and should not be erased.

Bathurst Stain is about the treatment of the Wiradjuri in just one instance, where locals poisoned a waterhole to rid themselves of these people.

This piece is scored for Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, Timpani, Side Drum, Violin, Viola, Cello and String Bass.
