In 1977 John Ritchie set four poems from the English translation of Doctor Zhivago by Max Hayward and Manya Harari, and the songs were first performed in Durham in 1978. The extensive use of both ends of the vocal range fulfils the breadth demanded by the poem’s Russian originas, yet without recourse to cluttered or overly thick textures.

Commissioned by the Auckland Philharmonia this orchestral work integrates a quotation from a piano piece by Anton Bruckner (“Erinnerung”) with original material and develops them into a new entity. It is a nostalgic dual meditation on the physical landscapes which haunt us and on patterns of cultural and individual memory that make up the background of every human consciousness. Commercially recorded by Trust Records.

Poem by Bub Bridger for mixed choir with optional trebles and piano (4 hands) Bub Bridger started writing poetry after visiting the river which Douglas Bridge spans in Northern Ireland. Johnny Come Dancing was one of her first poems and tells the story of a man’s magic encounter with fairies and his subsequent emigration to New Zealand. Johnny in the poem was, in fact, Bub Bridger’s father, and she assures me the story is true. The combination of magic and music in the poem appealed to me greatly, and made me want to set it for this commission. The song uses Irish dance rhythms to underpin the largely modal vocal lines. The third verse adopts a different style, however, with reference to the old-style ‘glees’(male part-singing). In the end, the dance rhythms return to drive the music to a climactic ending. Commissioned by The New Zealand Choral Federation (Otago Branch) for performance at its annual conference in Dunedin, July 1998

I – On the magical island of Bali, flowing gamelan melodies intertwine with the sound of the “suling” (Balinese bamboo flute) to form rich colourful tapestries. The marimba and flute start out as one, their sounds indistinguishable. Bit by bit the flute asserts its independence, straying further and further from the marimba melody. An argument ensues – but all is resolved at the climax.


II – The haunting sounds of the Japanese “shakuhachi” flute float out over the warm echoes of the rolling landscape.

III – Complex rhythms and South Indian scales set the two instruments off in a race to see who can outplay the other. The marimba is set in a three bar cycle of 5/4 + 5/8 + 5/6 but the flute plays a different cross rhythm each time, returning to the marimba’s pattern at the end of every cycle.
