This tone poem, along with Far Calling, was composed to evoke the Rocky Mountains – as seen from the vantage point of Canmore, Alberta. Far Calling includes parts for mixed voices SATB sung to the sound of ‘Ah’. The works honour Canada’s magnificent beauty and its vast open, unspoiled places – truly a garden of Eden.

A radical composition for orchestra based totally on transcription and quotation, this work examines the West’s fascination with pulse in music, and associated ideas of “primitivism”. Direct quotes from Beethoven, Berlioz and Stravinsky intermingle and cross-pollinate, while the overall musical structure is underpinned by an extended transcription of the dynamic fire dance of the Baining people of Papua New Guinea.

Symphonic Poem: Ritual Dance of the Unappeasable Shadow is a single movement work based on material from the opera At the Hawk’s Well. In some cases there has been extensive reworking, affecting also its construction which follows an arch form with a lively opening and closing.

Symphonic Poem was given a workshop reading by the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Sir William Southgate in 1994. This event was recorded by Radio New Zealand’s Concert FM. It was also performed by the New Zealand Secondary School’s Symphony Orchestra in 1995 as part of its Auckland Course.

Peter Adams wrote of the work in a review for the Otago Daily Times (August 1, 1994): “Nigel Keay’s Ritual Dance of the Unappeasable Shadow made a powerful impact on first hearing; the dark core of the work had a brooding intensity while the flanking outer sections were vital and colourful with their Indonesian gamelan-inspired sound world.”

A central idea to ‘Symphony in Five Movements’ concerns aspects of timing. Its form was partially inspired by the martial arts treatise ‘Go Rin No Sho’ (A Book of Five Rings), which considers timing and its relationship to strategy. The five books are: Ground, Water, Fire, Wind & Void. There is a loose correspondence between the inspiration behind some of the movements and each of the ‘books.’ Thus, the third movement refers to the book of tradition ‘wind’ and consequently, is modelled on a scherzo, not only paying tribute to Beethoven, but in a broader sense indicating the desire to give the entire work a historical reference. The Introduction or first movement is analogous to the ‘ground’ book (the path), outlining the Symphony’s musical ideas. The fifth movement (‘void’) has a strongly rhythmic structure with contemporary influence throughout, reflected in, and overlayed with its violin-based lyrical stream. This strongly linear work was described by Denys Trussell in a subsequent review for ‘Quote Unquote’ after its Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra performance in 1996 as being “rich with feeling and atmosphere.” The fourth and fifith movements were given a reading by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra conducted by Hamish McKeich at the NZSO – SOUNZ Readings in October 2001 in Wellington.
