Score

This album of songs by NZ women composers was published in 1993 to celebrate 100 years of suffrage in New Zealand. It represents a wide range of compositional styles and provides an excellent repertoire of New Zealand music for intermediate to advanced singers. Most songs are in the medium vocal range, although some are suited more to higher or lower voices.
