Programme Note

Fault had its genesis in the line ‘phrases shifting tectonically’ from an electro-acoustic work by John Cousins, and suggestions of subterranean tension and earthquake are perhaps audible. Fault was written in 2004 and was workshopped by the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. It was premiered by the NZSO at the 2007 Asia Pacific Festival.
