Soprano, Flute/Piccolo/Poi , Piano/Poi

As young children, some of us see our parents more as gods than as human beings. Time goes by and the feet of clay may start to emerge, with possibly scary or enigmatic aspects. Finally our parents die, maybe somewhat shrivelled, physically and possibly also spiritually. And how do we feel about all this?

In this brand new song cycle for soprano, flute and piano, we encounter the child’s vividly remembered emotional experiences as the adult protagonist revisits and eventually comes to terms with this.

The connecting of poetry in Maori on a universal theme of childhood and maturity in a New Zealand context, with its expression via classical art song, here produces the sort of work that might always be expected to arise in a society where cultural expression, cross-connection and interactions are increasingly alive, affectionate, meaningful and robust.

This monodrama for mezzo soprano and chamber sextet, commissioned by Northern Arts UK, tells of the 14th century North of England warrior Henry Percy (Hotspur), seen through the eyes of Elizabeth Mortimer, in a striking ballad sequence written by Fleur Adcock.

Whitehead’s imaginative score combines exotic and arresting instrumental colours, a strong dramatic vocal line (often with flamboyant flourishes) and an admirable overall conception of the mood changes and tonal graduation of the work. (William Dart, NZ Listener)

She has the rare gift of knowing when to us nightmarish vehemences and when to be utterly straightforward and calm. (Roger Covell, Sydney Morning Herald).

“Out of this Nettle, Danger is intimate, acute, fleet, with a fascinating sensitivity to the deep implications of the text. There is a big range of percussion instruments, used with the greatest economy and power of suggestion so that no sound or thematic fragment is perfunctory, each has a voluptuous, expressive, original shape. The piece moves forward in small episodes, held together partly by text, partly by the sheer consistent quality of the imagination.” (Oakes, The Independent)
