The music of ‘A West Irish Ballad’ follows the course of an anonymous Irish poem, and is influenced by Irish traditional music. Much of the musical imagery comes from the poetry, from the snipe and the ‘lonely bird in the woods’, to the developing ostinato reminiscent of church bells, and to the broader feeling of the landscape as I imagine it, and the deep emotion of Irish laments and love songs. ‘A West Irish Ballad’ was written for the Sydney Chamber Choir.

Concerto sul ‘la’ was commissioned by Bel Canto, with funds from the Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council (now Creative New Zealand) and the NZ Composers’ Foundation, and first performed by them in 1988 at a concert in Wellington’s St. Paul’s Cathedral, conducted by Guy Jansen.

The piece is conceived as an exuberant fanfare for voices, using as ‘text’ only the syllable ‘la’, something that has featured in many vocal compositions and exercises over the centuries, though perhaps never so whole-heartedly as here!

Although the title comes from the hymn All People That On Earth Do Dwell, this work is more concerned with the pleasures and pitfalls of aging, than with piety. The texts are from a collection of writings (both poetry and prose) associated with each age from birth to 99 years old. The selection I made was purely of those items which appealed to me personally – some are humorous, others more serious, some cynical whereas others contain wisdom.

From Age to Age Endure was commissioned by Auckland Youth Choir, and is affectionately dedicated to them and their conductor at the time, Brigid McLafferty. I was asked to write a work with jazz influences, and although not a great jazz fancier, I hope I have created a work which is fun to sing and enjoyable to listen to. The work is scored for solo soprano, SATB choir and small ensemble (or piano duet).
