This mystical poem by the Persian 13th Century poet, Rumi, makes links between music, love and people’s ability to reflect spiritual principles. The setting requires a very competent choir with awareness of mood changes between the statements ‘we are the flute’. The placement of the small number of sopranos at a distance will enhance the ethereal effects.

String Quartet No.2 was composed in Devonport, Auckland, between November 1994 and February 1995 with financial assistance provided by the New Zealand Composers’ Foundation and the Arts Council of New Zealand Toi Aotearoa (now Creative New Zealand). The first performance was given at the Watershed Theatre, Auckland on the 10th March 1995 by Simon McLellan and Sarah Hart (violins), Judith Williams (cello) and with the composer as violist. Denys Trussell wrote in a subsequent review (Quote Unquote, April 1995): “Nigel Keay…had his substantial and dramatic Second Quartet given its first performances at these concerts. It is in part a synthesis of the strictly modernist and the freer post-modernist harmonic constructions: Keay is moving away from a music of sustained dissonance in this work towards a music where consonance and dissonance interact. The middle movement, slow and introspective, is a striking instance of this.”

Since then String Quartet No.2 has established itself as one of the composer’s most-performed, and most widely-performed works having been played in New Zealand, Thailand, Japan, France and Germany by several different formations. It was also performed at the 17th Conference and Festival of the Asian Composers League in Bangkok by the Ensemble Contemporary Alpha (Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music), and at the ‘Stella Nova’ Concerts in Tokyo. It has been performed also in NZ by Ensemble Philharmonia (members of the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra), and the Nevine String Quartet with recording and broadcast by Radio NZ’s Concert FM. It received performances in 2004 and 2005 by the Quatuor Aphan’s in Paris and Germany.

In three movements, following a fast-slow-fast format, the quartet contains Arabic flavoured melodies over fast syncopations in the first movement, with a slow reflective second movement pointing to the composers love of the medium, particularly as a player having experienced the late quartets of Beethoven. Essentially an abstract work, the quartet ends with a rhythmically driving and brilliant third movement.

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.
