Programme Note

This fanfare for full orchestra was “…refreshing… (Its) gradual thickening of layers of bird calls to abrasive Varesian dissonances near the end had a concise dramatic momentum and coherence.” lan Dando, NZ Listener. (It) “…begins with sounds that could only be New Zealand ones.” LCM Saunders, NZ Herald.
