Na te Aroha and Taku Hoa Aroha were two love songs commissioned for a play called Nga Puke (The Hills) by Dunedin playwright, John Broughton. This play was performed at the Depot Theatre, Wellington, during the International Festival of the Arts, March 1990.

Nga Puke is a love story between a Maori soldier of the 28th Maori Battalion, Waru Thompson, and a Pakeha nurse, Angie. The setting is both the rural landscape of Porangahau, Hawkes Bay, and then a military hospital in Crete during World War 2. The first song, Nga te Aroha is about Waru and Angie’s exchange of gifts (greenstone and a painting of Nga Puke). The second song, Taku Hoa Aroha, is Angie’s love song for Waru, as he lies wounded in a Crete hospital.

Near the start of play, a reference is made to the strings that the audience can hear, and Tennessee Williams is quite specific in where he wants music to be placed. The director of the production, Jesse Peach, and I decided that a solo violin would be the appropriate medium for the music for his Glass Menagerie.

The music is dominated by one particular theme, which is found in the Prelude. This theme symbolises the unfulfilled or unfulfillable dreams of the cast, and the resignation and quiet desperation that goes hand in hand with these. Other music is present: a theme to represent Amanda, the mother, whose recollections of a more “gentile” time motivate many of her decisions; music from the dance hall and a waltz off the gramophone; and these themes are frequently interwoven.

For practical purposes, numbers are often written longer than needed (eg. the waltz) as their endings need to coincide with stage action, sometimes abruptly. The forms are generally very simple, and I have felt that simple forms and material were best in combination with the drama.

These tunes can be played on any instrument (e.g. violin, flute) with accompaniment of chords on guitar or piano. They are played in Celtic fashion, that is, the tunes have a cyclical nature and can be repeated as many times as desired.
