I felt that the score for Ali’s Wedding Even though the film is set in a small mosque in suburban Melbourne, director Jeff Walker suggested should reflect these two worlds. By blending a Middle Eastern sound with a traditional, the story would respond well to the detail, colour and depth of an orchestral score, something that romantic feature film score, I hoped to immerse and invest the audience in Ali’s funny, might reflect the universality of the story and place the narrative into a wider context. sometimes heartbreaking and completely absurd journey. Nigel Westlake took this brief, Although the score is firmly planted in the symphonic language of the ‘romantic comedy’ genre, it also and wrote a beautiful, emotive score. His use of the oud, combined with the full force of the seeks to provide musical context to the deeper and contemplative aspects of the story, particularly Sydney Symphony Orchestra, served to take our film into a cinematic realm to which we all Ali’s insecurities concerning his past, culture and religion, with the use of the oud, a short-neck, aspired. And watching him conduct during the recording sessions was an incredible treat. lute-type stringed instrument with 11 or 13 strings, commonly used in Middle Eastern music, and Nigel is a national treasure, a world-class composer and a truly wonderful person. performed here by Joseph Tawadros. Jeffrey Walker Track 5, ‘In Loving Memory’, is based on a short guitar sequence from the score. Slava Grigoryan Director subsequently collaborated with me to expand the track for this album. The final track, ‘Ma Wadani Ahadun (Until The End Of Time)’, has been adapted from Compassion – Symphony of Songs (2012), a collaboration with singer / songwriter Lior. Lior and I were delighted to see the work integrated into the final sequence of this film and to have the chance to re-record it with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra at Trackdown Studios in Sydney. I am indebted to all the musicians for the warmth, detail and finesse they bring to this score. There are so many special people who have played a major role in providing the support and resources to create this soundtrack, and I would like to express my sincere thanks to Jeff Walker (director), Sheila Jayadev & Helen Panckhurst (Matchbox Pictures), Jessica Wells and Clifford Bradley (Jigsaw Music), Lachlan Carrick (Moose Mastering), Nick Taylor (Air Edel), Craig Beckett, Elaine Beckett and Evan McHugh (Trackdown), Slava Grigoryan, Joseph Tawadros, Lior, Tom Heuzenroeder, Joel Westlake, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Toby Chadd (ABC Classics), Maggie Rodford (Air Edel) and Janice Westlake.

Last night’s event saw Teeny Tiny Stevies win their first-ever ARIA Award. “We’ve been working musicians for so long now, this nod from the industry is definitely a proud moment. If I’m lucky I’ll get a few high fives from other parents at school drop off today,” said Byll Stephen, half of the sister duo. The night marked the fifth ARIA win for Tawadros and Tognetti. “It’s been a hard year for musicians everywhere - like me, most have had no live shows and it’s devastating. This recognition of my music is extra special, especially as it’s a live concert recording with a lively audience. I want to thank everyone who was involved in making it happen. It’s some much-needed light in a very challenging year,” said Joseph. On winning Best Classical Album with Richard Tognetti, Erin Helyard said, “Richard & I are old mates and are delighted to have won.
