Blessing of the Trinity

Duration: 02' 45" Year: 2008
anthem for SAB choir and piano (or organ)

• Programme Note

  This short blessing was written for the 50th anniversary of Trinity at Waiake Methodist Church in Auckland. The text is by British clergyman David Adam who for many years was vicar of Holy Island, Lindisfarne. He is now retired but still lives on Lindisfarne. He has published several collections of art, reflections, prayers, and meditations based on the Celtic tradition.
  
  The text asks for the blessing of the Trinity over all facets of life – work, people, thoughts, in fact all who we each come into contact with each day.

Taharoto

Duration: 05' 00" Year: 2004
for orchestra

• Instrumentation
  2221; 2310; timp., perc. (3-4 players), pf; strs
• Programme Note

  This work was written for the Taharoto Orchestra – a group consisting of students from both Westlake Girls and Westlake Boys High Schools conducted by Liz Cable.

  The name ‘Taharoto’ is derived from two Maori words and is an approximation of the idea of ‘Westlake’. Literally it means ‘beside’ (taha) ‘lake’ (roto). The lake is Lake Pupuke on Auckland’s North Shore. A feature of the lake is the swans, and the symbol for Westlake Girls High School is the swan. I was asked to include ideas of the lake covered in mist and the swans taking flight, but also to include music which suggested aspects of the characters of the students at Westlake Girls High School: generous, assertive and energetic!

  Overall the music has a sense of spaciousness, building to an emphatic climax, and subsiding into silence again at the end. The music includes some ‘contemporary’ playing techniques for the string players, with some more challenging parts for the leading wind players.
