From Age to Age Endure

Duration: 20' 00" Year: 1988
for solo soprano, SATB choir and chamber ensemble

  • Instrumentation
    ensemble - flute, clarinet, trumpet, double bass and piano
  • Programme Note

    Although the title comes from the hymn All People That On Earth Do Dwell, this work is more concerned with the pleasures and pitfalls of aging, than with piety. The texts are from a collection of writings (both poetry and prose) associated with each age from birth to 99 years old. The selection I made was purely of those items which appealed to me personally – some are humorous, others more serious, some cynical whereas others contain wisdom.

    From Age to Age Endure was commissioned by Auckland Youth Choir, and is affectionately dedicated to them and their conductor at the time, Brigid McLafferty. I was asked to write a work with jazz influences, and although not a great jazz fancier, I hope I have created a work which is fun to sing and enjoyable to listen to. The work is scored for solo soprano, SATB choir and small ensemble (or piano duet).

Low Tide Aramoana

Duration: 23' 00" Year: 1982
for mezzo, SATB large choir and brass

  • Instrumentation
    3 trumpets 2 trombones, timpani
  • Programme Note

    Low Tide – Aramoana is a setting of a poem by Cilla McQueen, and is used with her kind permission. The piece, written for large choir and a small brass ensemble, is an evocation of an estuary at the turn of the tide. Although the poem itself describes Aramoana at the mouth of Otago harbour (significant at the time because of the threat of the aluminium smelter that, because of the strength of local protest, was in fact not built), for the composer it was the estuary where the Ruakaka river meets the sea south of Whangarei that was significant.
