N2 - In the Fields is an introspective and solemn piece that began life as a musical accompaniment to an award-winning audio-visual display at the Woodford Academy, telling the story of the schoolboys who enlisted for WWI. This developed further into a short film using narrated passages from the autobiographical book ‘Red Dust’ and has been transformed into a short solo piano piece. The piece is an emotional reflection upon the thoughts of the Woodford schoolboys on foreign battlefields during WWI, longing for the idyllic days of their school in the bushland setting of the Blue Mountains.
