  • Programme Note

    This choral work was written for Porirua City Choir in 2001 on the occasion of the September 11th terrorist attacks. The choir performed the work at St Andrews on the Terrace and at Te Papa in a program of works by New Zealand composers in December 2001.

    A voice heralds the approach of Christmas. The Christmas star appears and nature responds to the Good News conveyed by the Spirit and angel choirs. Christ comes again to a troubled world, and sorrowfully passes by.

Beatrice

Duration: 01' 00" Year: 2010, r. 2012
a short orchestral feature for cor anglais

  • Instrumentation
    solo cor anglais, flute, horn in F, strings
  • Programme Note

    In 2010, I co-wrote The Lover’s Knot with playwright Renee Liang as part of the 2010-2011 Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra Composer Workshops, which led to a performance with actor Stuart Devenie and conductor Kenneth Young. Stuart played the role of Walter Bolton, the last man given the death penalty in New Zealand, in the hours before his execution.

    Various instruments represent various characters in this story – clarinet for Bolton’s flighty paramour Florence, contrabassoon for the stench of death, and harmon-muted trombones for the justice system. Bolton’s ailing wife Beatrice is represented by extensive solos for the cor anglais. At the request of Lee Martelli, Education Manager of the APO, I excerpted one of these into a demonstration piece for an education concert.
