    New Zealanders lives are very much influenced by the moods of nature, Maori mythology and European settlement. So this piece may evoke in the listeners imaginations, seascapes, bush scenes, majestic mountains, and in the middle section, the disruptive influence of civilization.

Judith Exley  

A Song of Marigolds

Duration: 10' 00" Year: 1990
for soprano and gamelan orchestra

  • Programme Note

    The poem is a reflection of the transient nature of love and life. The gamelan, being an intergral part of a traditional which sees life as cyclic, maybe offers a balance. I have endeavoured to express this polarity by using traditional materials in non-traditional ways.
