This piece was originally the fifth movement of a short Christmas cycle (“Angels and Shepherds and Wise Men All”) was written in 2012 for the end of year concert by South Auckland Choral Society to be conducted by the composer. The concert included my school choir, St Mary’s Schola, and I was keen to write something that the combined forces (including the soloists) in the concert could sing together.

The cycle doesn’t try to encapsulate the entire Christmas story, but focusses on those characters on the edge of the story – the angels, the shepherds and the wise man. In this piece, the characters who gathered around the infant Jesus are focussed on: the animals, the angels and the shepherds.

This is the second arrangement made of a song written around 1918 by Erima Maewa Kaihau (1879-1941). It follows on from E moe te ra made in 2007 – both pieces arranged at the request of David Gordon of Diocesan School for Girls. Erima Maewa Kaihau was also involved in the complex gestation of the song Now is the hour.

Akoako o te Rangi is also very much in the late Victorian tradition of ‘parlour ballads’ and owes little to traditional Maori song forms or styles. In fact the rather erratic word underlay of the Maori text suggests that the English version (hardly a translation though of the Maori) may have been te first made.

The text is short although there may have originally been further verses (the printed music, published in 1918, contains just the one verse). It is a love song – the scent of a loved one wafting on the breeze to awaken the sleeping lovelorn singer.

Angels Flow was composed for harpist Helen Webby, for her CD of New Zealand harp music, entitled ‘Pluck’. This piece imagines a parallel between the sound of harp music and the movement of spirits, or angels. In some cultures, such as Maori culture, sounds produced by instruments have spiritual properties. Music can tap into a part of the mind that transcends reality, and puts us in touch with imaginary, spiritual worlds. In this piece the flowing movements of the angels are unpredictable and capricious. A gradual modal change through the piece finds rest at the end, as the music descends to the lower register of the harp.

Angels Flow was premiered in the 2012 Otago Festival of the Arts, and is one of ten works commissioned and recorded by Helen Webby for her CD ‘Pluck’, released by Ode Records (Manu 5144). Helen Webby wishes to acknowledge the generous support of Creative New Zealand, University of Otago and John Egenes, producer. ‘Pluck’ is the first anthology of New Zealand harp music.

Anzacs Remembered is a setting of a verse from For the Fallen by Laurence Binyon spoken each 6pm at RSA’s throughout Australia and New Zealand.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
- Laurence Binyon
