This prelude is a musical representation of the view I see at twilight from my studio on the South Coast of Wellington – the moody dark green depths of Cook Strait, the inky blue sky, and the endless unbroken horizon dividing the two. Fishing boats sit on the horizon all lit up, looking like little gleaming gemstones in the darkness. The occasional gust of wind stirs up wild eddies on the surface of the water, and the odd rogue wave hurls itself onto the rocks and up into the air in a spectacular explosion of sea spray.

I welcomed this commission to write a small piece for Stephen De Pledge, but baulked a little at the idea it that should be related to landscape, a concept that can easily fall into cliché. But then all physical places are in fact landscape, including the street where I have lived for the last 35 years (echoes of My Fair Lady), in the city I love.

This work creates a counterpoint between my own voice and its ‘musical analogue’, as played on the piano.

Landscape Prelude is imbued with the spirit of New Zealand’s west coast on a still day. The accompanying poem begins:

“barely stirs the dark ripple

through liquid bell-tones

ancient echoes

of grey-green tree-gods

high sky

wild crags and rocks

the deep earth gong beats…”


A less than reassuring human element also enters the picture…
