Ross Harris  

Silence Greets the Dawn

Duration: 06' 00" Year: 2006
for vocalising percussionist

• Programme Note

  “Today, New Zealand Forests are quiet but in 1770 Joseph Banks wrote thus about Queen Charlotte Sound: ‘This morn I was awkd by the singing of the birds ashore……the numbers of them were certainly very great……’ He would be shocked at the silence that greets the dawn there now.” The Lost world of the Moa – Worthy and Holdaway. "Aotearoa’s multitude of birds performed that symphony each dawn for over sixty million years. It was a glorious riot of sound with its own special meaning for it was in confirmation of the health of a wondrous and unique ecosystem. To my regret, I arrived in New Zealand in the late twentieth century to find most of the orchestra seats empty. Walking through the ancient forest…….I heard nothing but the whisper of leaves blowing in the wind. It was like the rustle of the last curtain fall on an orchestra that will be no more.’ Tim Flannery – Future Eaters

Three Little Pieces for Eve

Duration: 06' 00" Year: 2006
for percussion and piano

• Instrumentation
  percussion: 5 bottles, 4 flowerpots, 4 mixing bowls, triangle.
• Programme Note

  “Serious fun” is the best way to describe this lively and entertaining set of three contrasting pieces. Gareth Farr wrote Three Little Pieces for Eve for the occasion of a friend’s birthday. It showcases Farr’s comic wit and clever writing. The percussionist uses household objects including bottles, flowerpots, mixing bowls and a triangle. Three Little Pieces for Eve is sure to add a good mixture of variety and demonstration of skill to any recital programme and perhaps a fun birthday celebration too.

John Psathas  

Waiting : Still

Duration: 05' 00" Year: 2009
for piano and Balinese gamelan

• Programme Note

  Dedicated to Jack Body, this work is a revisiting of an earlier work of mine, Waiting for the Aeroplane, written when I was a composition student at Victoria University in 1988. Jack was an important mentor during my student days, and two things he encouraged me to do at the time (both of which I resisted) were to join the gamelan (a great regret), and to alter the ostinato pattern in Waiting for the Aeroplane. So here, two decades later, I have finally embraced both ideas.
