The composer writes: Flower Songs is a choral maninya (dance/chant). Its text consists of the scientific names (in Latin and ancient Greek) of a selection of central eastern Australian wild flowers, and is characterised by modified repetition of rhythmic patterns centered on drones – a sort of hypnotic incantation.
