SOUNZ

Programme Note

This song cycle was composed in 1951 and is a setting of poems by Alistair Te Ariki Campbell, written as a memorial to Roy Dickson who died in an accident in the Southern Alps in 1947. The evocative settings range from the darkly sombre and dramatically powerful to the poignantly tender and sorrowful, reflecting both the moods and changing conditions of the New Zealand mountains and bush and the shifting emotions and expressions of grief over a life lost.

Jenny McLeod

Duration: 20' 00" Year: 1962
a song cycle for baritone and piano

Programme Note

Written in McLeod’s second year of study at Victoria University, this piece shows influences of Benjamin Britten and David Farquhar. The text is a poem by W. S. Broughton, the older brother of one of her childhood friends. She was drawn to the poem because it expressed the disillusionment with religion she herself was experiencing at the time.

Being a student work, Epithalamia has been somewhat neglected by performers, and has only recently been ‘rediscovered’. The youthful composer’s impressive self-confidence, both in the expressive use of the voice and in the effective piano writing is obvious. (Programme note: Mark Jones).
