Blessing of the Trinity

Duration: 02' 45" Year: 2008
anthem for SAB choir and piano (or organ)

  • Programme Note

    This short blessing was written for the 50th anniversary of Trinity at Waiake Methodist Church in Auckland. The text is by British clergyman David Adam who for many years was vicar of Holy Island, Lindisfarne. He is now retired but still lives on Lindisfarne. He has published several collections of art, reflections, prayers, and meditations based on the Celtic tradition.

    The text asks for the blessing of the Trinity over all facets of life – work, people, thoughts, in fact all who we each come into contact with each day.

    Fragile Earth

    Fragile Earth is a conservationist’s lament and was inspired by the anti-nuclear poem “No Ordinary Sun” written in the early 1970’s by the celebrated poet Hone Tuwhare.

    The piece presents a brooding chant which undergoes variation by means of rhythmic and textural contrasts, organic growth and fragmentation.

    Fragile Earth was commissioned by Tom and Anne Morris for the Ensemble Philharmonia and first performed on 20 November 2004 at the Auckland Public Library auditorium.
