This song cycle for soprano and piano has texts by the composer in Maori and English.

“Awa Herea memorably evokes the physical appearance of symbolic significance of these braided rivers… cosmic weather-driven energy.” (Covell, Sydney Morning Herald).

“Its pace was shrewdly varied and the music encompassed a range of styles – from sung declamation to florid lyricism – without incongruity.” (Jack, Independent).

“The cycle displays all the characteristics of her [Gillian Whitehead’s] mature work. The vocal line is at once exultant and contemplative, the piano writing incisive or lulling; the formal shaping novel yet accessible. It is a memorable piece, filled with the energetic spirit of the natural world and finding through that spirit its own serenity.”

This piece uses material from a piano piece I concurrently composed for Ross Carey, which was based on bird song. I enjoyed the challenge of having to transfer pianistic ideas onto a set of instruments with vastly different voices. To keep true to the thematic material I added the lyrics (with apologies to Shakespeare).

Pukeko is a setting of a poem by the prominent New Zealand writer Ian Wedde and was composed in 1972 while John Rimmer was the Mozart Fellow and Ian Wedde was the Burns Fellow at the University of Otago in Dunedin. The piece follows the mood of the poem with demonstrative gestures in the opening – ‘the mind can fly like a cool blue Braque bird straight to the heart of a storm’ through to the delicate textures of ‘but consider the pukeko going doubtfully on spindly legs among swamp grasses’.

At the end an improvisation features some of the players whispering the last line ‘poor ludicrous fowl’ while the soprano hums previous motives ad libitum and the horn and cello provide high wailing sounds.

Pukeko was first performed at Milton High School on 7 August 1972 during a tour of Otago schools by the Marama Players of the Department of Music, University of Otago.
