This waiata (Maori song) was written around 1918 by Erima Maewa Kaihau (1879-1941). She was also involved in the complex gestation of the song Now is the Hour.

E moe te Ra is very much in the late Victorian tradition of song writing and owes little to traditional Maori song forms or styles. The English “translation” in the score begins: “Shadows of evening bring tender thoughts of thee beloved…”. The music has an unusual phrase structure and some unexpected harmonic turns. In this arrangement some re-harmonisation has been used, particularly in the first half. The second half fellows the original harmonies more closely. Rather than set the English of the printed music, the Maori words are sung through twice, with a short introduction and coda.

The arrangement was made at the request of choral director David Gordon of Diocesan School for Girls, Auckland.

This is a liturgical work for Congregation, Choir, Tenor or Soprano, Violin and Piano, which was originally composed for the Asperges Rite in the 150th Jubilee Mass of the Wellington Archdiocese, 30 April 2000. It is inspired by the story of Christ and the Samaritan woman. The text in Maori and English is from the Gospel of John, Chapter 4 Verse 14: " The water that I shall give will turn into a spring inside you, welling up to eternal life." ‘Te Puna Waiora’ is dedicated to Fr John Greally, Advisor for Pastoral Liturgy and Spirituality in the Wellington Archdiocese. Subsequently, the choral part has been incorporated into the Mass, ‘Te Miha Tuituia’ published in ‘Music for a New Millennium’ by the Auckland Liturgy Centre. Also, the chorale theme is in the final section of the harp solo piece ’ Otari’ (2004).
