A N C I E N T C I T Y By Paul Jarman City in my dreams
Ancient city mystic land
Lost and left behind by time
Dreams that speak to me
Songs for eternity
Take me to the golden ancient city
Now as the moon appears
Trees wander in the breeze
Blackened clouds adorn the sky
Moon shining on the sea
Path of light to carry me
Take me to the golden ancient city
Where fires once burned
The shadows of the night
Are dancing in the silver light
A once masterful race
Now gone without a trace
Lost and left behind by time
Lonely stars up in the sky
Listen to my song tonight
And take me to the golden ancient city
Dust scattered memories
Darkness for a thousand years
Only dreams are left behind
Dreams etched into the stars
Memories from a distant past
Take me to the golden ancient city
© Paul Jarman 2000

Paul Jarman is a widely acclaimed Australian composer, performer, musical director and educator. Paul is most well known as a lyricist and composer of choral music, a world music multi instrumentalist, and a facilitator of community inspired collaborations. As a cultural ambassador he has performed extensively throughout Australia, Europe, Asia, North America, the Middle East and the Pacific with theatre productions, dance ensembles, Aboriginal-Anglo Celtic performance groups, choirs and orchestras; in festivals, special events, schools and towns as a conductor and musical director, and a member of Australia’s iconic first ‘world music’ ensemble Sirocco since 1996 representing Australia in Pakistan, India, Taiwan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Laos, Vietnam, Singapore and the Philippines for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Musica Viva. Paul plays western instruments including the piano, clarinet, harmonica and saxophone but specialises in many ethnic wind instruments and harmonic singing. He has performed on a variety of Australian feature films, documentaries, commercials and IMAX productions and composed the music for several award winning adventure films with the renowned filmmaker Mike Dillon. Paul has written over 100 commissioned works for ensembles including Gondwana Voices, Sydney Children’s Choir, Birralee Voices, The Song Company, Boston City Singers, Rafiki Youth Choir, The Australian Boy’s Choir, Leichhardt Espresso Chorus, Department of Education, Woden Valley Youth Choir and many more. His unique blend of strong melody and timeless poetry celebrates the human endeavour and has captured the imagination of singers and audiences worldwide. He has been commissioned to write music about some of the most inspiring people of our time including Jessica Watson, Terry Fox, Helen Keller, Ernest Shackleton, Aung San Suu Kyi, Pemulwuy and Mary MacKillop among countless others. In 2010 his piece for the 60th Anniversary of the death of Martin Luther King Jnr was performed for President Barack Obama in the White House. Paul has also written and performed music for events in the Western Front, including a premier under the Menin Gate in Ypres and the D-Day 60th Anniversary in Normandy. He has toured as a resident conductor/performer with a variety of choirs to France, England, Germany, Austria, Italy, China, Belgium, Czech Republic, Canada, New Zealand, USA and Switzerland. In 2005 Paul wrote and performed the music for William Yang’s acclaimed theatre piece ‘Objects for Meditation’, which played in Belgium, France, The Netherlands, Norway, Reunion Island, Singapore and Australia. Paul founded and directed the ensemble ‘Platypus’ featuring Torres Strait dancers Albert David and Bernadette Walong from Bangarra, Koori artist Adam Hill and the iconic instrument inventor Colin Offord. Paul was also Musical Director for the Deadly Awards, collaborating with Jimmy Little and Troy Cassar-Daley. He has composed music for some of Australia’s large special events including the Centenary of Federations, the Bicentenary of the Battle of Vinegar Hill, Year of the Outback, The Olympic Arts Festival, The Rugby World Cup, The Works Festival, United Nations Year of the Mountain, ANCA, The Queensland 150th and the Australia Day Spectacular Darling Harbour and Canberra.
Paul lives with his wife and two girls on a farm in far north NSW, on the eastern edge of the Border Ranges.
