‘Almost an Island’, a phrase which refers to the Otago peninsula, is the title I’ve given to a short set of haiku written by peninsula poets, which I set for voice and piano as a wedding present for my then neighbours, Breffni and Dave.

Rain blows on windows plastered with new leaves it’s spring again (Eleanor Koch)
Golden pendant blossoms bright against blue spring sky beckon tuis (Eleanor Koch)
Gleaming white across Arapatiki three spoonbills fly towards us (Gillian Whitehead)
Aramoana pathway to the wide ocean memories remain (Kay Sinclair)
Fiery rata circled by glitter almost an island (Kay Sinclair)
Track winds past pine trees tangled vines scratching bare skin sharp smell of gorse flowers (Fran Bolgar)
Low pressure warning on the macrocarpa thirty herons swaying (Gillian Whitehead)
Kereru wheeling soaring and plummeting bounce now on tree-top (Joyce Whitehead)

‘Baxter Songs’ is a setting of three poems by James K Baxter. The three poems are ‘High Country Weather’, ‘Let time be still’ and an extract from ‘Stephanie’. The first two poems were composed early in the poets career and express his more romantic sentiments. When I hear these poems, I think of Baxter as a young poet in the South Island (Otago and Canterbury universities) exploring the Otago hinterland. I think, too, of the early days of his relationship with Jacqui Sturm and imagine the two of them exploring the hills and mountains. The extract from ‘Stephanie’ is from much later in Baxter’s life. He is older now and life has had its way with Baxter (or perhaps the other way around?). The poem follows a family tragedy and there is a sense of heartbreak in the voice.

These five short poems reflect the poet’s love of the landscapes and communities of Otago and Southland; this setting for voice and cello was written during my year as Mozart Fellow at the University of Otago. Composed for “Like Flowers in Rain”, an Otago Festival of the Arts presentation of song and poetry honouring Ruth Dallas on the occasion of her 80th birthday, and first performed by ensemble “Panache” at the Globe Theatre, Dunedin in October 2000.
