This chamber work, composed in 2002, is based on the music drama of the same title, with music by Helen Fisher, Maori composition by Wi Kuki Kaa and lyrics by Lauris Edmond. This shorter work for two sopranos, kai-karanga, string quartet, flute, bodhran and Maori instruments was produced for a CD on the Atoll label (ACD 203). This work focuses on some Maori and Pakeha women’s stories surrounding the events of the 1843 Wairau tragedy. These are stories of compassion, which have a resonance for New Zealand today, showing a way forward for reconciliation and racial harmony.

“Wang” in Chinese (including the archaic word) have about 48 words. There are synonyms and antonyms, nouns, verbs, adjectives, prepositions, quantifiers, and onomatopoeia and so on. The semantics are broad and inclusive in the thousands according to the written character, the tone used, and the context in which it is used. Generally, “Wang” in Chinese can have twenty different meanings. Some of these meanings are similar; sometimes they are completely opposite. Tones have always been with the Chinese language. The writer of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Shen Yue (445-513) wrote the Four Tones Spectrum. There is also the Chinese Phonetic Alphabet released in 1958 by the Chinese government. In fact, the Chinese tones have become vibrant, musical, richly semantic and hugely expressive language. Thus the word ‘Wang’, as a sound, has huge potential to stimulate the creative imagination.
