David Hamilton  

Dance-Song to the Creator

Duration: 06' 00" Year: 1992
for SSA & SATB semi-choruses, SAATB choir, percussion and piano duet

Bruce Baker  

Invocation

 Year: 1992
for SATB with piano or organ

  • Programme Note

    This piece has been reshaped from an anthem writtten for the dedication of St David’s Presbyterian Church Centre in Taihape in 1988. The current wording is designed to be suitable as an opening prayer in a service of worship. Both words and music have been shaped so they can be sung and understood without much difficulty, although without sacrificing musical and textual standards. It is hoped that the song will appeal to young and old alike. The original accompaniment was for piano, but this has been rewritten in order to suit organ as well.

Bruce Baker  

Song of Faith

 Year: 1992
for SSA choir with soprano solo and piano

  • Programme Note

    This piece was originally dedicated to Prima Voce, the Form 4 to 7 choir of Epsom Girls’ Grammar School. It was written at the request of their conductor, David Hamilton, for performance at a competition administered by the New Zealand Choral Federation. The text is a rather free translation of Proverbs 3.5, made with the intention of speaking simply in the language of today while preserving the message of the source. The tune matches the words in its simplicity and directness. However it is presented in such a way as to incorporate a number of styles of singing – unison, solo, imitation, chordal, descant – while at the same time lying well within the reach of inexperienced singers. The piano part is perhaps a little more ambitious, and requires a pianist of some years’ experience. The text is as follows: Faith is trusting God when we can not make sense of everything. Look to him in all you do, and he will help you to find the best way. Do not be limited by what you understand right now.
