Elegy

Duration: 17' 00" Year: 1951
a song cycle for baritone and piano

  • Programme Note

    This song cycle was composed in 1951 and is a setting of poems by Alistair Te Ariki Campbell, written as a memorial to Roy Dickson who died in an accident in the Southern Alps in 1947. The evocative settings range from the darkly sombre and dramatically powerful to the poignantly tender and sorrowful, reflecting both the moods and changing conditions of the New Zealand mountains and bush and the shifting emotions and expressions of grief over a life lost.

Sings Harry

Duration: 10' 00" Year: 1954
a song cycle for tenor and guitar

  • Programme Note

    The cycle was originally composed for baritone and piano. Yet as one hears in the first song, Harry sings to ‘an old guitar’. In the piano version, Lilburn incorporates idiomatic guitar gestures into accompaniment throughout: strumming, broken chords, and fading guitar snaps. These serve not only to evoke the guitar, but also to strengthen one’s sense of the songs as self-reflective, self-accompanied cycle of ‘songs within songs’. Lilburn subsequently arranged the cycle for tenor and guitar (1953, SLD-47), and for tenor and piano(1954, EC-26)
