2222; 4331; hp, timp.; 3 perc. ; strings

The Great Harbour of Tara is a tone poem about Wellington. A conductor’s score and fully edited parts are available.

The work starts with atmosphere – waves lapping very gently on Petone beach and the tinkle of sand. The main theme sounds on the french horn then the music builds and eventually a reference is made to the old whaling days followed by a storm (a characteristic of Cook Strait – the infamous ‘southerly’) building to hurricane force strength. The storm also alludes to the sinking of the Wahine (a Cook Strait ferry) in the ‘60s. An elegy for strings follows in honour of the victims of that disaster. The mood gradually changes to calm acceptance and on to an optimistic view of Wellington’s future, a big, full tutti . The work closes with the atmosphere of sand, surf and evening.
