Programme Note

Nine poems selected from the set of twenty-four making up Fleur Adcock’s collection Meeting the Comet, a tale of a differently-abled young girl and her quest to follow Halley’s Comet via telescopes in the crater of Auckland’s Mt. Albert; along the way recollecting seeing glow worms as a child and detailing the growing pangs of her path to adulthood. The poetic text and musical accompaniment are closely linked, as I often used the former to realise the latter through a process of musical transliteration.
