Ecstasy of Flight

Duration: 09' 50" Year: 2002
tone poem for two violins and string orchestra

  • Programme Note

    Ecstasy of Flight captures a moment in the life of a child who longed for a companion in her isolated life in the precise middle of nowhere. She was visited by a powerful dream, of wings, the curling of the wind in the cloud-tops, the perfect peace of the blue land of the sun, and the shape of the world as one great, majestic song. That was the moment in her life from which she could look back later as an adult composer and say that it all began.

  • Programme Note

    Alberton is a historic, romantic 18-room timber mansion in Auckland. In the late 19th and early 20th century it was famous for its hunts, garden parties, dances, music and friendly welcomes, which is still evident today. The atmosphere of the Victorian period, with the ballroom and spacious grounds, is captured in this music. The powerful brass chords show the strong character of Allan Kerr Taylor, owner and builder of this stately home. The spirits of the three unmarried daughters, the last family residents, are solo woodwind features. The shimmering tremolo string passages and harp arpeggios depict the ‘ghostly’ games played by Aunt Muriel on the children.
