David Hamilton  

A New Zealand Doxology

Duration: 08' 00" Year: 1991
for solo soprano, SATB choir and organ

  • Programme Note

    This work is a setting of a text by Rev. Len Horwood (d.1990), minister of Mt Albert Methodist Church (Auckland) in the 1960’s, and was written at the request of Mervyn Rosser – choirmaster of Mt Albert Methodist Church. This particular hymn of praise to God draws its inspiration from aspects of the New Zealand landscape – especially the plants and trees. References are made to the kauri, the rata, and the kowhai, as well as the lakes, mountains and valleys.

A Song of Ruth

Duration: 04' 00" Year: 1991
for SSA choir with oboe and strings

  • Programme Note

    This short anthem takes its text from the Old Testament book of Ruth. It is a statement of devotion and loyalty, and I have used the lines “Your people shall be my people and your God my God” as a refrain. To the biblical text I have added a concluding “Amen”.

    The original version (for SAB voices) was written for, and is dedicated to, Bruce Baker – a friend and musical colleague.
