  • Programme Note

    This group of pieces for choir and instrumental ensemble grew out of a short choral fanfare entitled Silver Whisper’, commissioned by Auckland Choral in 2000. The original fanfare is now the last piece in a suite of five movements.

    The texts are based around the celebration of life in its many manifestations, exploring aspects of spring and the wonders of nature, ranging from the scuttle of insects to the unearthly song of whales, and concluding with a song of praise to the Creator. A small ensemble of flute, three percussionists, and two pianos (one doubling celesta) gives a flexible group with which to provide atmospheric and varied shades of accompaniment to the singers.
