Counting through the tones of ‘In a Landscape’ by John Cage, in the manner of counting a rosary. The title means an offering to Buddha; this is not so much a material offering but more that of a good heart.

Composed in Toronto in June, 2001 and first performed by the Natsuki Emura Piano Duo in a concert of New Zealand piano music at MusiCasa, Tokyo in October 2001.

This Day is a piano piece written for, and to celebrate, my wedding.

As a composer on an occasion such as this, it’s your chance to really pull one out of the bag. It is a challenge however to get a balance between serving the occasion, setting the perfect atmosphere, pleasing the ears of all those present, while still of course developing your craft.

This piece was specifically for the ‘entry of the bride’ at the ceremony, but it stands up wonderfully as a piece in its own right.

This is not the first time I have written for such an occasion, in 2006 my three movement wedding suite Promise was premiered in Taupo.

This Day was premiered on 14th February, 2009, at Caccia Birch House, Palmerston North, by Andrew Cochrane (www.andykeysmusic.com).
