Three Aspects of Spring consists of three movements in three distinct but complementary styles. The first, Idyll, is the simplest and most romantic. A song-like phrase is constantly repeated over an evolving accompaniment. The second movement, Bushwalk, a pointillistic canon, uses fragments taken from the songs of three New Zealand birds, the tui, the kereru (or giant wood pigeon) and the korimako (bellbird). You will hear the same material played four times: by the piano (left hand), the clarinet, the piano (right hand), and finally the violin. The final movement, Synergy, is built on a jaunty 7/8 ostinato derived from a solomon Island panpipe tune which works with an against two more conventional tunes in 6/8 and 3/4 respectively.

Three Aspects of Spring is dedicated to the Verdehr Trio. They gave its world premiere at Casa Thomas Jefferson in Brasillia on September 20, 2002 and US premiere at The Phillips Collection in Washington DC on February 22, 2003. They have since taken it on tour with them throughout the world.

Tri-Me-Trio was composed in 1995 by Gary Wilby while he held the position of Composer-in-Schools based at the Wellington College of Education. The position was funded by the College and Creative New Zealand.

The piece was especially written for the Tri-Me-Trio of Heretaunga College, Upper Hutt, who gave the first performance on 17 June of that year at the Westpact Contest, St Andrews on The Terrace, in Wellington. The trio consisted of Kester Maddock (flute), Alex McEwen (clarinet), and Adele Broome (piano). They subsequently gave a number of performances in the Wellington region. The piece has subsequently become very popular among secondary school music students throughout New Zealand.
