These songs were in 1979 for the tenor, John Miley. That year he gave their first performance and later recorded them for Radio New Zealand Concert. The Fairburn poems I have selected reflect different aspects of love; infatuation, vulnerability, frustration, whimsy and regret.

This song cycle was written in 1979 for Richard Phillips who gave its first performance. ‘Shoriken is the Japanese name for one of the eight Taoist immortals. A kakemono by Motonubu in the British Museum shows him crossing the sea balanced on the edge of his sword’ (Brasch’s own note). Throughout the poem Brasch blurs the spiritual and physical worlds to the extent that there is barely a distinction between the two. Despite a near nihilistic futility at times, there is a sense of consummation at the end where the final stanza depicts Shoriken becoming one with the sea, and the word-edge itself a wave-crest of the sea.
