Programme Note

During the 1970s John Rimmer produced a series of Compositions, for different instruments and electronic sounds. In Composition 4 the flute is accompanied by a gentle environment of string and percussive-like timbres. The flute writing contains a wide variety of expressive devices and overall bears an oriental influence, in particular that of the Japanese vertically blown shakuhachi.

Programme Note

The Sonata for Violin and Piano is in one movement of five contrasting sections. It dates from 1950 and was composed for two well-known musicians: the violinist was Ruth Pearl, from England, who had settled here shortly after the Second World War and was for some time the leader of the Lindsay String Orchestra; and pianist was Frederick Page, for many years professor of Music at Victoria University. These artists performed the work throughout New Zealand and took it on tour for the Chamber Music Federation. Even now it remains the one sonata for violin and piano by a New Zealand composer that is heard with any frequency.
