4 Carols on 4 Notes

 Year: 1962, r. 2008
a song cycle of four carols for SATB choir

• Programme Note

  The last carol of the cycle, I Saw Three Ships was written for Cambridge Music School in the summer of 1962. Now I Joseph was walking was written in the early 70s while I was teaching at Linwood High School and originally had a percussion accompaniment. The other two were written in 1977 to complete the cycle with texts by my wife Brigitte in Christchurch, and were first performed in 1980 by the Auckland Dorian Choir under the baton of Peter Godfrey.

  Now nearly 30 years later I have made some minor changes

A baby lying

Duration: 01' 30" Year: 2008
for SA choir and piano

• Programme Note

  A baby lying is No. 4 of the ‘Five Carols for 3 and 4 Parts’, which were written so as to be performable in more than one choral combination, for example, for women’s voices only with an optional part for men. Along with No. 3, Deep in the forest, those two carols are the darker pair of the set. However the numbering is no indication of performance order, where the five carols are being sung together as a group. In this case the following order is suggested: Nos. 2, 3, 5, 4, 1.

David Hamilton  

A Birthday Offering

 Year: 2012
for SATB choir and piano

• Programme Note

  When the 90th birthday of Betty Somerville was approaching, members of Auckland Choral were asked to sing at a special birthday gathering as a surprise. Betty had been a long-time member of the choir, maintaining a strong active involvement behind the scenes after retiring as a singing member.

  In searching for a suitable text for a piece to mark the occasion, I found that almost all birthday poetry fell into one of two categories – it was either tied to a specific age, or was incredibly saccharine and trite. I finally chanced upon Richard Wilbur’s “For K.R. on her Sixtieth Birthday” which contained more general sentiments and wishes. The K.R. of the title is the poet Kathleen Raine, and the reference to William Blake in the poem notes her devotion to that poet’s work.
