Five Dunedin Songs for Tenor and Guitar Opus 77

Duration: 16' 00" Year: 1995

  • Programme Note

    Poems by Iain Lonie and Bernadette Hall, and commissioned by Tony Donaldson for performance by himself (guitar) and Robert Oliver (tenor) in 1997, with funding from Creative NZ. Originally from Dunedin, Bernadette studied Classics under Iain Lonie at Otago University. I have to thank two other Classicists with regard to the selection of these poems for setting: Andrew Barker who put me onto Iain’s poetry, and Gail Tatham who recommended Bernadette’s poems to me.

Four Songs from 'Sing-Song'

Duration: 09' 00" Year: 1995, r. 2009
for voice and piano

  • Programme Note

    First published in 1872, the collection of poems Sing-Song by Christina Rossetti stayed popular for over a century. My first introduction to this work was at age 13 with my discovery of the beautiful old edition in the Dorothy Neal White Collection of the National Library of New Zealand, but it was not until five years later that I set four of the poems for voice and piano.

    The resulting song-cycle was premiered on July 26, 1995 by Victoria Poole, soprano, and Fiona McCabe, piano in a recital at Ferndale House in Mt. Albert, Auckland.

    In December 2008 I revised the song-cycle to its present form, re-writing the two outer songs (although these remain quite close to the originals) and replacing the two inner songs with new material.

    Haiku is a setting of 21 haiku written by Alan Wells, published in The New Zealand Haiku Anthology, edited by Cyril Childs (Wellington: The New Zealand Poetry Society Inc., 1993), and used with the kind permission of the poet.

    Haiku, was originally written for instrumental ensemble to celebrate Douglas Lilburn’s eightieth birthday, was rearranged and given its first performance by the Dunedin-based Lyric Trio (Ana Good, Rebecca Maurice, Joyce Whitehead). The haiku are concisely set; they draw on imagery both local and universal.
