Lie Deep, My Love

Duration: 11' 00" Year: 1996
a cycle of three settings of poems by James K. Baxter for SATB choir and soloists

  • Programme Note

    Lie Deep My Love was finished in 1996 and written especially for the New Zealand National Youth Choir who have since performed them frequently. The first song, Lie Deep My Love, depicts the grief and longing for a departed love; the second, Earth does at length, the inevitability of our mortality; and in the third, Blow, wind of fruitfulness, the spirit of the wind is implored to stir life into all creation again.

    Use is made of low bass tessitura, solo voices and canons to create specific colours and textures in the vocal writing and to help characterise those images of New Zealand Baxter was so fond of depicting.

Missa Brevis

Duration: 10' 00" Year: 1996
mass setting for unaccompanied SATB choir

  • Programme Note

    A 4 part (and alternative 3 part for SSA) unaccompanied setting of the Latin Mass for choir. There are times when voice parts divide in order to fill out a chord. Each section of the mass is short, and hence may be used in either an ecclesiastical setting by a trained choir, or as part of a choral concert.

    This Mass setting for unaccompanied SATB choir has been widely used by cathedral choirs in New Zealand and is available in both SATB and SSA combinations.
