Dorothy Buchanan  

An Ocean Between Us

Duration: 25' 00" Year: 2006
for mezzo-soprano and piano quartet

Ross Carey  

Come Together

Duration: 06' 00" Year: 2006
for SATB choir, viola and piano

  • Programme Note

    Written for the students of the National School for the Blind and Vision Impaired, Manurewa. Ideas for the text and musical form were workshopped with some of the students and their teacher, Wendy Richards in October, 2005, and again in March, 2006. The finished work looks at ideas about difference, belonging and finding common ground; a lyrical opening and closing section frames a more energetic middle section exploring ideas of conflict and tension, before finally the choir is able to unite (come together) at the end of the piece. The piece received its first performance at the National School for the Blind and Vision Impaired annual national music camp held in Manurewa, Manukau City, in July, 2006.

Timepiece

Duration: 07' 50" Year: 2006
for clarinet quartet

  • Instrumentation
    for three b flat clarinets, and one b flat bass clarinet
  • Programme Note

    In the spirit of recycling, Timepiece uses music of the past in new ways. The three-note motif that pervades the work is a transcription of a bellbird song (previously used in my piece Bush Telegraph). I also quote from Mahler, The Beatles, and a famous clock tune.

    Timepiece is a clarinet quartet, composed for The Committee’s ‘Clock Works’ concert in Auckland University’s Clocktower. In a minimalistic style, it includes hocketing, spatial effects, birdsong, and musical quotation.
