An Tuiream Bais

Duration: 06' 00" Year: 2009
a Gaelic death dirge for a cappella SSAATTBB choir

  • Programme Note

    The Carmina Gadelica, known in Gaelic as Ortha nan Gaidheal, is a six-volume collection of orally-transmitted prayers, poems, blessings and other material, collected by the folklorist Alexander Carmichael in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland in the second half of the nineteenth century. Carmichael subsequently translated this material, and edited the first two volumes. The death dirge An Tuiream Bais was published in the third volume, edited by Alexander’s grandson, James Carmichael Watson. I have set the first, fourth, fifth and sixth verses in the original Gaelic language.

Ar nAthair

Duration: 04' 00" Year: 2005
for unaccompanied SSAATB choir

  • Programme Note

    Since 1994 I have had an on-going association with the city of Galway in Ireland. Initially this was through the Cois Cladaigh Chamber Choir which presented a concert of works of mine in that year, and has subsequently performed and recorded other pieces. Another choir in the city that has included my music in their repertoire was the NUIG Choral Society under the direction of Peter Mannion. This university choir had sung my Nunc Dimittis at a competition in 2005 and the conductor was keen to have something new for their next year’s repertoire. He asked if I might consider a new setting of the Lord’s Prayer (Our Father who art in heaven…), but setting the text in Irish.

    The opening section, marked ‘serenely, with great spaciousness’, establishes the tonic key of D major securely. The music unfolds from an initial unison D, through simple tonal chords set against an on-going D in the 1st altos. The remainder of the work is largely chordal, using relatively simple tonal chords centred on the key of D major. The scoring is for unaccompanied SSAATB voices.

Ave Maria

Duration: 05' 00" Year: 2005
for SATB choir and piano

  • Programme Note

    Ave Maria (op. 4) was written in the beginning of 2005 during the first few weeks of my move to Wellington from the South Island, and was written specifically for the New Zealand Secondary Students’ Choir Choral Composition Award 2005. The music is set to the traditional sacred text “Ave Maria”, and is for a mixed choir (SATB) with piano accompaniment.

    The piece requires a competent choir to deal with the expression detail and complex harmonies used throughout. Successful communication of the text is a must, as well as keeping the melodic lines flowing constantly.
