This work was commissioned by The Southern Consort of Voices in 1991, with funding from Creative NZ. It sets three NZ poems to music, with a fourth song being wordless: Timepiece to a poem by Cilla McQueen; Before the Fall to a poem by Rachel McAlpine; I lie, I watch the ceiling (wordless); and We could just disappear to a poem by Sam Hunt.

In 2001 Auckland choir Viva Voce recorded this work on their CD entitled Snapshots – A Cappella Choral Favourites. Conductor John Rosser writes of the work – “Anthony has a wonderful knack of writing for voice. Timepiece portrays a woman struggling to break free of suburban neurosis and the tyranny of time. Before the Fall alludes to lost childhood innocence, and We Could just Disappear depicts the future as an endless tunnel of the mind.”

The origin of the term ‘cassation’ is clouded with speculation, but around the time of Haydn and Mozart it was used more or less interchangeably with ‘serenade’ and ‘divertimento’. Generally such pieces were for orchestra, and written in an entertaining, less serious vein. The present work for chamber orchestra also is of a lighter character. It has an outdoor flavour, and features uncomplicated, open harmonies, jaunty rhythms and clear melodies.


The first movement has an energetic, raucous character rising out of the resonant sounds of the open strings of violins and violas. Sections of uneven rhythm alternate with simpler passages, as if one were strolling briskly through streets in which various sorts of different activity were going on. The ‘Nocturne’ is pensive and nostalgic. Expressive lines for solo horn and cello rise out of a gentle, rather static atmosphere. The third movement is a short and capricious treatment of the opening oboe theme from Alban Berg’s opera Wozzeck. This scrap of tune – playful but loaded – is introduced upside down here, and is restored to its original shape at the end after some free-wheeling excursions.


Cassation was Martin Lodge’s first orchestral work. It was commissioned by the Wellington Chamber Orchestra, which gave the premiere in 1990.

The title “Equali” expresses the idea of sharing between two similar instruments. This happens in a variety of ways in the eight duos, but I was particularly interested in exploring the interweaving and crossing of the two violin lines and the idea of dividing ideas between them. I have always been drawn to the idea of duos, whether for equal or unequal instruments clarinets or keyboard. But the warmth and expressiveness of stringed instruments has a special appeal, which I hope comes across in this set. They also exist in a version for two violins.
