Na te Aroha and Taku Hoa Aroha were two love songs commissioned for a play called Nga Puke (The Hills) by Dunedin playwright, John Broughton. This play was performed at the Depot Theatre, Wellington, during the International Festival of the Arts, March 1990.

Nga Puke is a love story between a Maori soldier of the 28th Maori Battalion, Waru Thompson, and a Pakeha nurse, Angie. The setting is both the rural landscape of Porangahau, Hawkes Bay, and then a military hospital in Crete during World War 2. The first song, Nga te Aroha is about Waru and Angie’s exchange of gifts (greenstone and a painting of Nga Puke). The second song, Taku Hoa Aroha, is Angie’s love song for Waru, as he lies wounded in a Crete hospital.

Austen Found: The Undiscovered Musicals of Jane Austen is an improvised show for four or five actors plus a pianoforte player – a story in the style of Jane Austen, told as a complete piece of musical theatre. I have been one of two musicians to play in this show, which has had multiple seasons since its beginnings in 2008.

All of the story, dialogue, songs and lyrics are improvised anew every time we do the show. Nonetheless, there are two pieces of music which have remained the same for every run which I have performed in. The first is the opening Theme (approx. 20 seconds), which heralds the entrance of the players onto the stage. The second is a Country Dance (approx. 80-90 seconds) – being that this is a show set in the Regency period, there will inevitably be a ball held in a country manor. There is a choreographed set-piece dance for this occasion.
