    “These modern, tuneful pieces with their interesting, rhythmic and harmonic patterns, have proved popular with young students. Five New Zealand Christmas Songs are a welcome addition to use alongside standard repertoire. The imaginative teacher will find them invaluable in teaching aural and keyboard skills, plus the inclusion of chord symbols with the words are a bonus, making these pieces ideal for use in group situations. Highly recommended.” Adrienne Van Drimmelen AIRMT

  • Programme Note

    I was Composer-in-residence at Elmwood Normal School and and in mind to write a cantata for the massed choirs there. I was searching for a subject that would capture both my imagination and that of the children for whom it was to be written. My father is a scientist and the conversation he mentioned that pulsars (rapidly spinning, extremely dense stars) emit electromagnetic waves. When these waves are fed through a household radio set, part of the wave reproduces as an audible tone. A PhD research student working with pulsars, who also had an interest in music, wrote out the tones of various pulsars. I found this intriguing and promptly decided to use the theme of astronomy for the proposed work. To my amazement, when my father showed me the pulsar music written out on a treble and bass stave, the audible tones were clustered around an E major chord with some additional notes added. Thus Psalm of Stars came into being. These 13 notes became the germinal idea on which the whole work was based.

Suite from Romeo and Juliet

 Year: 1993, r. 2002
for chamber orchestra

  • Instrumentation
    2222;2200;2 perc; strings
  • Programme Note

    These pieces originated in a production of Shakespeare’s play undertaken in 1993 by Epsom Girls and Auckland Grammar Schools. I was asked to provide music for several scenes. As this production set the play in early twentieth century Sicily (with all of its Mafia overtones!) some of the music took on a distinctly Mediterranean flavour. The three pieces in this suite were used with important pieces of the action in the play. The first piece is the processional which was sung by the monks, the text being taken from the Latin ‘Te Deum’. The second piece was a setting of the ‘Ave Maria’ sung during the wedding scene. The third piece was played by a small band on-stage during the ball scene, and suggests a lively tarantella.
