Etude no. 1 - from Duggan

Duration: 01' 00" Year: 1997
for solo marimba

  • Programme Note

    This work was composed whilst Farr was still performing regularly as a marimba soloist, and was taken from Farr’s title theme music of the New Zealand television series “Duggan”. This etude includes contrasting sections that evoke both the tense and dark-hued nature of the television series, as well as the scenic grandeur of the Marlborough Sounds.

Nga Puke Songs

Duration: 03' 00" Year: 1990
for solo alto and acoustic guitar

  • Programme Note

    Na te Aroha and Taku Hoa Aroha were two love songs commissioned for a play called Nga Puke (The Hills) by Dunedin playwright, John Broughton. This play was performed at the Depot Theatre, Wellington, during the International Festival of the Arts, March 1990.

    Nga Puke is a love story between a Maori soldier of the 28th Maori Battalion, Waru Thompson, and a Pakeha nurse, Angie. The setting is both the rural landscape of Porangahau, Hawkes Bay, and then a military hospital in Crete during World War 2. The first song, Nga te Aroha is about Waru and Angie’s exchange of gifts (greenstone and a painting of Nga Puke). The second song, Taku Hoa Aroha, is Angie’s love song for Waru, as he lies wounded in a Crete hospital.
