This is an art song that needs some performing flair as the Cat on Noah’s Ark is too proud to ask for food, but is ravenous and dreams of milk and mouse. He is not too hungry to express his perennial hatred of dogs either! It is in F major and has sections in 6/4 and 4/4.
Mostly SATB with some doubling up in the parts to SSAA or SATTB or SSATBB A cappella.

The formula for realising this work:

- take existing quartet (2010)
- delete guitar and cello parts
- rearrange and pare down surviving flute and clarinet parts
- add bass trombone part

Why?

- I’ve been interested in continuous recontextualisation of materials (transformed or unchanged) within single works for some time now; if I rip entire chunks from an existing piece and use them to build something else, to what extent is the resulting work new, and to what extent is it related? – and can this relatedness even be detected? Furthermore, is composing in my usual mode as dependent on such high levels of compositional struggle as I had previously held it to be?
- but primarily: this is the first work written since the arrival of my son about a year ago; time for composition remains limited and rapid solutions must be found

During the Srebrenica massacre – Europe’s largest genocide since the Second World War – over 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were murdered in a single day. Against the background of increasing anti-Islamic sentiment and rhetoric in numerous countries, composer Samuel Gray wants us to remember the atrocities that have been committed against Muslims in recent European history so as to encourage a more balanced view of Muslim people than the contemporary diatribe that casts all Muslims as terrorists and extremists.

Rund-funk was written for Melbourne-based trumpeter Josh Rogan by Tabea Squire, in early 2012. The title is a play on the German word for radio, ‘rundfunk’: it has been hyphenated to bring out the English word ‘funk’.

The ‘Salve Regina’ text is one of the four Marian antiphons – texts associated with the Virgin Mary which are used at various liturgical times of the year in the Roman Catholic church. This one is used from Trinity Sunday (the first Sunday after Pentecost) until just before Advent. Originally these antiphons were used in conjunction with psalms, but since the 13th century they have been independent parts of the liturgy.

This setting begins with one of the Gregorian chants used with this text – the first line for tenors only, and then the second line harmonised. A version of this music reappears later in the work.

“Salve Regina” was written for the vocal group The Madrigal Companie of New Plymouth. The ensemble had performed a number of works of mine, and when preparing for a concert of Marian music asked about other works of mine. Given that none of my settings of the Magnificat suited the size and combination of voices, I decided to write this short work for the group, aiming for a simple SATB texture with almost no sub-division of parts.

I wrote this at a gig called “Song Sale”. I used to run the gig monthly when I lived in Dunedin. Now other people run it monthly cause I don’t live in Dunedin any more. It’s on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/SongSaleDunedin

You can download the sheet music for free. It’d be pointless giving away a preview of the score, because the score is just one page. Have it!
