Chaos of Delight IV continues my series of works inspired by NZ birdsong (Chaos of Delight I for bass clarinet, Chaos of Delight II for soprano, Chaos of Delight III for women’s voices) and in this case is a short, theatrical duo written especially for the talents of my colleagues Luca Manghi and Ben Hoadley. Some more recognizable birdcalls are: the thrush calls played by piccolo; the Paradise Duck in the bassoon; the Kokako played by both in unison and the Little Blue Penguin in the fluttertongued basson.

The work was premiered by the duo on October 22nd, 2008 in Auckland.

A work composed for Finnish wind quintet Idée Fixe on the request of the group’s clarinetist, Reetta Näätänen. E pari, e te tai translates as tide, flow on, a title that assumed a dark irony when, shortly after completion of the work, the Boxing Day Tsunami struck in the Indian Ocean. Premiered by Idée Fixe in Ikaalinen, Finland 2005.

Invisible Waves, inspired by the Orewa Beach in Auckland, imitates the evening sea waves, sound of the seagulls accompany the sunset. The melodic material derives from a set of four-note A, G#, F, and D. The ascending scale-like motif appears several times to imitate the flow of sea waves.

This stylised, visceral ‘take’ on some of the composer’s favourite Len Lye texts achieves a heightened expression to match the whimsy and wackiness of his wonderful words.

In the spirit of recycling, Timepiece uses music of the past in new ways. The three-note motif that pervades the work is a transcription of a bellbird song (previously used in my piece Bush Telegraph). I also quote from Mahler, The Beatles, and a famous clock tune.

Timepiece is a clarinet quartet, composed for The Committee’s ‘Clock Works’ concert in Auckland University’s Clocktower. In a minimalistic style, it includes hocketing, spatial effects, birdsong, and musical quotation.
