This song cycle for soprano and piano has texts by the composer in Maori and English.

“Awa Herea memorably evokes the physical appearance of symbolic significance of these braided rivers… cosmic weather-driven energy.” (Covell, Sydney Morning Herald).

“Its pace was shrewdly varied and the music encompassed a range of styles – from sung declamation to florid lyricism – without incongruity.” (Jack, Independent).

“The cycle displays all the characteristics of her [Gillian Whitehead’s] mature work. The vocal line is at once exultant and contemplative, the piano writing incisive or lulling; the formal shaping novel yet accessible. It is a memorable piece, filled with the energetic spirit of the natural world and finding through that spirit its own serenity.”

“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

“The simple image of one woman onstage, barefoot, letting loose great octave leaps and glissandos peaking in sharp cries, projected a beautifully unfettered freedom.”
Cahill, Berkeley Express
