Abstract

Brownhill Creek in Spring was another war-time product, written in Adelaide in 1942; it was inspired by Esmond George's watercolour, Green Hills, which hangs near my Bluthner piano. That charming part of Adelaide was within walking distance of our home in Mitcham. It was hard to reconcile the peaceful surroundings, the gurgling of the creek and the occasional bird calls, with the holocaust that was taking place in Europe.
