Sharon Roberts-Good  

See The Clouds

Duration: 03' 00" Year: 1995
for SATB choir and narrator

• Programme Note

  This work is based on the Mount Ruapehu Eruptions of 1995. There is no mention in the text of which mountain it portrays so is a suitable work at any such an event.

  This piece has been performed in the Great Lake centre in Taupo and in schools around the country. It has been studied for NCEA Level One, along with others of the composer’s for Levels One through to Three. It has a very spiritual feeling to the music and an international sensitivity.

  The score contains the analysis/education resource for this work.

Helen Fisher  

Pounamu

Duration: 07' 00" Year: 1989, r. 1997
for solo flute, SSAATB choir

• Instrumentation
  Flute can be replaced by shakuhachi or koauau; alto soloist from choir required
• Programme Note

  Inspired by sparkling waters of Tasman Bay Nelson, this choral work (SSAATB) was originally composed with flute accompaniment, which has been substituted in performances by the Shakuhachi (traditional Japanese flute) and also the Koauau (traditional Maori flute). There are recordings of Pounamu with each of these flutes. The piece’s choral texture uses Maori vowel sounds and a text which is a whakatauki (proverb) from the Waikato region.

Gillian Whitehead  

Lullaby for Matthew

Duration: 04' 00" Year: 1981
for piano

• Programme Note

  This work for solo piano has been described as “a haunting gem for a modern baby.” (Blanks, Sydney Morning Herald)

  “In a simple arch structure of eight bar phrases, it progresses in variations from naive simplicity to what could almost amount to a nightmare in the centre, then back to slumbering innocence once again.” (Bibby, Music in New Zealand)
