A concert overture for full symphony orchestra – this work captures “the bustle, the vitality and the peace” of one of Christchurch’s busiest arteries.

The composer’s son, Anthony Ritchie wrote:
“Dad composed this when I was at Varsity in Christchurch. Some years earlier we had moved to a new house next to Papanui Road – he still lives there – so I remember Dad wanting to write a piece that summed up experiences of that street – going back over a long past. There is a motif that represents our old cat, Shosti, sneaking through to the butcher’s on Papanui Road (no longer there, of course!). There is also a sad passage that is a short memorial to Reverend Botting, an old friend of Dad’s, who was killed on his bike, on Papanui Rd – I remember when that happened. The piece is quite personal and yet is likeable just as music.”
