‘Manukau Refrains’ is a delicate, colourful piece for 3 percussionists and community orchestra inspired by images of wading birds (‘manukau’), shifting patterns of water and sand in an environment teeming with life. In performance, the percussionists are spaced apart with the timpani in their usual position at the rear of the orchestra and the marimba and vibraphone in front of the orchestra. Each percussionist also plays a variety of small non-tuned instruments such as guiros, small drums and Pacific log drums. After a soft introduction, the ‘refrain’ begins as a short rhythmic pattern played by the timpani and is extended on each of its repetitions. Gradually instruments from the orchestra are drawn into this activity which accelerates as the piece progresses. The music builds to a climax followed by a short coda which reminisces on the mood of the opening.

Milly Mae-Moet is dressed up like a picture, anticipating the carnival today, with carousels and horses, hot air balloons. Ribbons in her hair and petticoat of crinoline, dance in the wind. Mother Mae-Moet buys candy-floss and toffee, pretty balloons for her, darling Milly Mae grows stubborn and persistent, wants more balloons. She has dreams of flying, never gives up trying for one more balloon. Milly Mae-Moet is willful and unyielding she gets her way, one more balloon, to take her away. Happily flying away too high to save…

This piece tells the story of Milly Mae-Moet, the stubborn yet admirably driven girl who convinces her mother to buy her all the balloons at the carnival so she my fulfill her dream of flying. She happily ascends (much to her mothers distress) through the insect layer into the bird layer and eventually into infinity.

The piece is a combination of scored sections and work-shopped improvisations that were developed with the ensemble in December 2007.

mandolin 1, mandolin 2, mandola, mandocello/liuto, mandobass/double bass, optional flute and accordion

This piece is the result of a commission from Bryan Holden and the Auckland Mandolinata Orchestra. They wanted a work that could be premiered at an Auckland venue in October 2007, and which could then go on to a performance at an Australasian forum for players of mandolins and related instruments in 2008.

I was advised of the fact that for the premiere performance, a flautist and more than one accordion player would be available. However, at time of writing there looks to be no flautist, and only one accordion player, available for the Australian performance. Hence my decision to make the flute and accordion parts ‘optional’, with the piece able to be adequately presented using only the core ‘plectrum orchestra’ instrumentation as well. Needless to say though, it is ideal that the flute and accordion parts ARE present, as they add to the piece rather considerably, even though I couldn’t completely indulge in the creation of specifically-idiomatic solos for them!

Movement 1: in a cellar below street level
This initial inspiration for this movement came from the diverse range of musical activity presented at Auckland city performance venue The Wine Cellar. In this particular movement, listen to a tale told in music, of a hypothetical Medieval minstrel who would actually rather be a blues musician.
Movement 2: look’d @ stars
When international visitors come to Auckland, they are often blown away by the fact that even in the middle of the city, one can still see the stars in the night sky.
“look’d” = ancient; “@” = modern; “stars” = timeless.
Movement 3: SPARK!
Inspired by a gig I participated in at the beginning of November, the month which Guy Fawkes’ Night (a celebration marked by bonfires and fireworks) occurs – and there were indeed fireworks at this central Auckland gig that night.
