About

5 short pieces with a NZ flavour. The speaker plays the role of a rather serious teacher who does not see the funny side of what he is saying. In the rather wild movement "Mussels" he changes role to shout the Maori text like a "Karakia".


Difficulty note

Recommended by the composer for the Big Sing competition
