The main theme of the first movement is built on a deliberately ‘square’ 4 note scale figure; this is interlaced with perfect 4th ‘wobbles’ and triplets and together they weave tonal games in a capricious journey.
Four rich chords (all essentially triads with added semitones) which open out, bloom and close again are the flowers displayed in the tranquil second movement, and for the final a jaunty but restrained dance through various tonalities grows out of the subtle thematic combination of notes from both C and F sharp, normally the most distant keys.

In 1987 the composer visited China and searched out the music of some of China’s so-called minority peoples. Field records made on this visit form the core of the work: the instrumental writing is mean as an enchancing backdrop to direct our listening to the ‘interior’ of the music.
First is heard to long-ge, a three-bladed Jews harp of the Yi nationality (Sichuan province). Next three women of the Miao nationality (Guizhou province) sing a melody of strong character with long notes and leaping intervals further enhanced by the gradual melting into a unison. The words mean “though we die, our songs like mountains, go on forever”. Finally we hear an ensemble of lusheng played by youths of the Ge nationality (Guizhou province) accompanying a dance. This six-piped bamboo mouth organ is common in the south of China and is found in various forms throughout Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and parts of Indonesia.

Scored for trumpet, violin and piano, Omarama – Place of Light developed from Preludes of Light for piano, both pieces being completed early in 1987.

The musical structure of Omarama is based on a palindrome of sections which pivot on a central piano solo. In such a form, a lively introduction is balanced by a slow-moving Postlude which features off-stage trumpet. Two contrapuntal sections, two ‘tutti’ sections (the second marked ‘Cosmic Dance’) and solos for violin, piano and trumpet complete the journey through this structure.

In 1986, Omarama, which is situated in the lower centre of the South Island of New Zealand, was the site for clear viewing of Halley’s Comet and other cosmic delights.

Omarama was commissioned by LYSIS with funding from the Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council of New Zealand and the New Zealand Composers Foundation. The work was first performed by LYSIS at the University of Auckland on 15 April 1987

This performance by LYSIS was recorded in March 1987 at the Auckland University School of Music.
