First performed by Ursula Ryan, Paul Mayhew and Tony Ryan in 1993, this is a group of 7 songs for soprano, french horn and piano which are settings of poems by John Summers. The cycle deals with the poet’s pacifism and the related themes of death and war. The use of the horn is suggestive of the bugle, an instrument traditionally associated with war.

The work was reviewed as follows: “…the poignant, uncompromising statement on the horrors of war… the new work should make its way into the permanent repertoire.” Christchurch Press, May 23 1992

Scored for E flat, B flat and bass clarinets with orchestra this work was reviewed as, “a magnificent reward to the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra…a civilised and serious piece, but also delightfully witty…scored with a delicacy and sophistication that shows a very sure ear, alert to the details that enliven an orchestral score.” Rod Biss, NZ Listener “The music is over-flowing with colourful percussive strokes and tongue-in-cheek parody.” Matthew Suttor, Music in NZ “The three clarinets effectively behave as a ‘super-clarinet’ with an enormous range of five octaves. Set against the other instruments…the result is a vibrant glitter of timbre.” Suzanne Court, Music in NZ.
