Influence

Musicology

• Named after the
transcontinental train that
runs from Sydney to Perth
• Programmatic symphonic
work for large orchestra,
harp, piano and percussion
instruments including a
piece of railway line struck
with xylophone mallets
• Piece aims to capture spirit,
excitement, romance and
grandeur of its journey

• Mixed meters
• Dynamic rhythms often
involving accented off-beats
• Tonal center rather than a
key
• Dissonant chords of major
or minor 2nd intervals
• Use of orchestral effects
(glissandos and muted brass
etc.) and numerous
percussion instruments for
colour
• Staccatissimo articulation
• Uses motives that serve as
unifying devices.
Percussion 2 line
Rail line
Simple triple time
In unison
Syncopation

Idea A
Three note motive that
gradually expands into
a jaunty melody heard
against a repeated note
rhythm

Idea B
Soaring melody that
contrasts with Idea B
Accompanying
staccato quavers
element of
programmatic music

Here’s how this idea
sounds modified in a
later recurrence

Idea C
Horns 1, 2, 3, 4 play
melody comprising only
two notes creating the
impression of distance
and open spaces
Another element of
programmatic music

Idea D
Idea E

Disjointed, angular motive involving triplets and
accompanied by stabbing brass chords
FOCUS QUESTIONS

Which instruments play the melody of Idea A?
Which instruments play the melody of Idea B?
What accompaniment is heard against this
melody, what programmatic idea is suggested by
this accompaniment?
How is the violin and viola accompaniment to
Idea D performed?
