Five New Zealand Christmas Songs

 Year: 1993
five easy piano pieces with lyrics

  • Instrumentation
    piano solo or with choir
  • Programme Note

    “These modern, tuneful pieces with their interesting, rhythmic and harmonic patterns, have proved popular with young students. Five New Zealand Christmas Songs are a welcome addition to use alongside standard repertoire. The imaginative teacher will find them invaluable in teaching aural and keyboard skills, plus the inclusion of chord symbols with the words are a bonus, making these pieces ideal for use in group situations. Highly recommended.” Adrienne Van Drimmelen AIRMT

Nga Puke Songs

Duration: 03' 00" Year: 1990
for solo alto and acoustic guitar

  • Programme Note

    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.

Rain

Duration: 06' 00" Year: 2008
for baritone and piano

  • Programme Note

    Rain is an iconic poem by Hone Tuwhare, describing beautifully a feature of the weather but also subtly ruminating on death. The setting is quiet and lyrical, with an optional part for a rainmaker (to be played by the singer). This setting for baritone and piano was written for Matt Landreth, and recorded by him. The recording and score were auctioned to raise funds for the Otago Hospice appeal in May 2008. The song was subsequently scored for orchestra and recorded by Matt Landreth and the Auckland Philharmonia.

    Waitangi Anthem was written in the late 1950s and recorded in 1964 on Kiwi EP record Bay of Islands, sung by Colin Fenton with the Te Rangatahi Maori Group under the leadership of the Rev. Napi Waaka, who also provided a Maori translation. Willow revised the lyrics to reflect Maori feelings about the Treaty in 1989, and privately published the anthem in time for the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty in 1990.
