This work was commissioned by Auckland accordionist, Harley Jones, for performance in New York, August 1988, but was premiered in Auckland in 1987. In the first two years it received 36 performances worldwide and was recorded by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra with Harley as soloist. Performed frequently internationally, several other recordings have been made of this work. Rhapsody combines the sensitivity, expressive and distinct tone colours of the accordion with the full power of a symphony orchestra.

Te Puoho, friend and ally of Te Rauparaha, invited the Rangitane chief Mahuri and his people to a feast at Kukutauaki in return for previous kindnesses. Kukutauaki stood in the middle of an area hostile to the Rangitane people. On his way to the feast Mahuri was warned of the danger of entering territory controlled by the powerful and dangerous Te Rauparaha whereupon he replied: “It is the boast of Te Puoho that he will not have his forehead smeared with blood.” After the feast at which a new kind of food, the pumpkin, was introduced, the guests were invited back to Maimea, at the mouth of the Waikanae River, and massacred – most likely at the prompting of Te Rauparaha. This work was composed in 1987, commissioned and first performed by the New Zealand Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Anthony Jennings. It has been reviewed as, “sheer instrumental drama launched on a sea of seething, trilling strings.”

Originally sketched in December 1982, this work remained in that incomplete form until early 1985 when I returned to it and decided it would at least make an interesting exercise in orchestration. The work in its final form is for solo horn with small chamber orchestra: wood wind, percussion and strings.

The title which has no programmatic significance comes from a line in a poem by American Walt Whitman. The Ripe Breath of Autumn sits rather uneasily in my total output having few stylistic similarities to other works I have written. It is a dark brooking work, and might best be described as a rhapsody.

Musically the two main ideas are the rising semitone motive heard at the opening, and the first five notes of the horn part which recur in various guises throughout. The work possesses a sense of ebb and flow in the orchestral part, interrupted only by a cadenza for the horn player and solo viola. The work finally settles in D as its tonal centre and ends quietly.

The two main themes of Youth of Auckland were originally written by the composer as sound tracks for television commercials, and reworked and developed for this overture. The influence of film music is very evident in the orchestral scoring, with long sweeping melodies visualizing the wide open spaces and the modern rhythms of today’s ‘pop’ music.

Youth of Auckland has been recorded several times for CD and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra’s version is played regularly on New Zealand National Radio.
