* This performance in memory of Ronald Barnes, Carillonneur at the University of California,
Berkeley, renowned for his beautiful melodic compositions for carillon.
¶ This young Australian composer was inspired by
High Court Justice
Michael Kirby's presentation at the University of Sydney on
the Bangalore Principles of International Law
accepted by the community of nations, and wrote this music to 'float across Lake B G to the
High Court'. It is founded in the Western tradition, with subtle influences from S E Asia.
# Croutons IX is one in a series of works for different instruments by this Australian composer.
§ These preludes were composed by Ronald Barnes after hearing a choral recording of the
carols by W G James. They are dedicated to the recitalist.
