The work was commissioned in 1970 by the NZ Broadcasting Corporation. The texts are taken from Janet Frame’s 1967 verse collection, The Pocket Mirror. The songs all have to do with aspects of death; but it is the second – a setting of the poem , “People are ill, dying,” which colours the entire work. This introduces the threat of nuclear warfare, expressed in the recurring image of the mushroom. The two flanking songs – extracts from the long poem “Some Thoughts on Bereavement” – consider death in a more individual context, and conclude that in experiencing the death of others, part of ourselves dies too. The music, which is scored for high voice accompanied by solo winds, percussion, harp and piano, translates the eloquent verbal images into purely musical ones. The result, in the words of one critic, is a “piece of considerable emotional powers’” in which ’"the tight, almost compressed construction maintains an intensity of feeling at a high level, nowhere diffused by padding."

A virtuosic work for solo clarinet which exploits the instrument’s great agility and wide timbral and dynamic range. The work concludes with a tranquil melodic sequence from which the work takes its name.
