If I were to ask you: "Parlez vous francais?" you would have a number of answers available to you according to your situation, without much thought being needed, such as "oui", or "non", or "un peu", or perhaps you would answer in English that you don't speak French. You would not ask "What do you mean?" because the original question is self-explanatory. But if I were to ask you "Do you speak music?" You might well think that this was a very unusual question, and wonder how to interpret it. The reason that I am asking this seemingly opaque question is that I believe everybody has an innate understanding of music, and therefore it follows that my question is really a rhetorical one, to which everybody can answer "Yes".

Dr Treloar, members of the Anderson family, distinguished guests: We are here tonight to honour the memory of Professor Gordon Anderson. It gives me great happiness to have this opportunity of acknowledging in the presence of Gordon's children, Heather, Jenny, and Jon Anderson, who are here with us tonight, that the memory of Gordon's amazingly generous contribution of his manifold skills and his loyal support to The University of New England was a sustaining strength for me during all the subsequent years when he was no longer here in person. I would like to quote briefly from the beautiful oration delivered by Berenice Roberts, then the President of the students' musical society called Mussoc, and now Berenice Scott, for many years a member of the Dixson Library and now Copyright Officer for The University of New England, at Gordon's funeral on Friday 3 July, 1981, because these words are just as current now as they were then:... ... I would also like to mention the strong support and incredibly warm hospitality, to me and to many others, of Gordon's wife, Laurel, who died in January this year.

Composition in four movements. 'As Like the Moon' is the title of an Egyptian folk song. Like most such songs, it consists of an extremely short melody and a very large number of verses which are sung successively, in this case accompanying a bridal procession. The bride is imagined to be like the moon rising. Just as the title of the song is unfinished, letting us try to imagine the rest, so the very simple melody can develop different forms and colours.

Musical Suite for clarinet in B flat, French horn, violin, piano and percussion. Suite taken from the ballet 'Ayoub wa Naasa: Gentle Waves of the Sea'. There is an Egyptian folksong that tells the story of Job and his wife Naasa. This is very similar to the story as it occurs in religious texts but is actually an independent folk story. This folk song is repeated in various forms throughout the ballet as a linking theme, and it also appears in the suite. Each movement of the suite depicts a different scene in the story. Includes parts for clarinet in B♭, horn in F, violin, percussion. In this score the clarinet and French horn parts are in C. However in the parts they are transcribed in B flat and F respectively.
