Jane Austen Dance

Duration: 01' 30" Year: 2012
for violin and piano

  • Programme Note

    Promise & Promiscuity is a one-woman theatre play set in the world of Jane Austen’s novels. Written by Auckland entertainer Penny Ashton to debut at the 2013 Auckland Fringe Festival, it is the fourth of Penny’s solo shows I have created the music for.

    I adapted this tune from the ‘Country Dance’ piano solo from Austen Found: The Undiscovered Musicals of Jane Austen, an improvised show that both Penny and I did from 2008 to 2010. For Promise & Promiscuity, I arranged it for violin and piano to be background music in a ball scene.

Little Lord of Light

Duration: 02' 10" Year: 2012
a Christmas choral work for 2-part treble voices and piano

  • Programme Note

    The original title for this short poem was simply “Christmas” – here I have taken the last line as a more interesting title. The text tells, in short lines, of the traditional images surrounding the birth of Jesus.

    The poem is variously credited to Mary I., or Mary I. Osborn, of whom nothing is known, although one or two poems appear on the internet.

    “Little Lord of Light” was written for conductor Susanna Saw and Kuala Lumpur Children’s Choir. The choir has performed several pieces of mine, and I had the pleasure of working with them in 2010.

Mister Nobody

Duration: 03' 25" Year: 2013
for SAB choir and piano

  • Programme Note

    The poem “Mr Nobody” exists in several versions, although most agree on the first two stanzas. It is generally attributed as being by Anonymous , although some sources credit it to Walter de la Mare amongst others. For this setting I used the first version I came across – a version of four stanzas, although the 3rd and 4th stanzas are not amongst the most commonly quoted versions.

    As anyone who has dealt with young children will know, there is never anyone around to take the blame for misdemeanors – it’s always ‘nobody’ who committed the crime! So here is a setting of the poem honoring that “Mr Nobody” who is always the character behind those little things that happen around the house. The lively music uses a range of irregular time signatures, notably ten-in-a-bar patterns.

    “Mister Nobody” was written for the Suono Bellissimo of Motueka High School and conductor Hilary Sinclair.

Pandorasong

Duration: 04' 45" Year: 2010
composed with Callum White, for SATB choir and percussion (bass drum & djembe)

  • Programme Note

    The wonderfully imagined world of Pandora from the film AVATAR was the inspiration for PANDORASONG. The language of Na’vi was specifically constructed for the film by linguistics professor Paul Frommer at the University of Southern California. This, in turn, has led to a new and ever-increasing body of literature written in the Na’vi language and we took one such poem, written by the online poet Karyu Amawey, as the text for PANDORASONG.

    Premiered by Onslow College Choir at The Big Sing at Wellington Town Hall on 9th June 2010.
