About

This fanfare is dedicated to Sir Barry Curtis, with grateful thanks for his many years of support for the Manukau City Symphony Orchestra. The first thirty seconds refer back to the opening of The Journey, written for the opening concert at this Genesis Theatre, which has since become home for the orchestra. The piece then moves into a celebratory fanfare, with the opening melody reappearing and merging with the fanfare at the end.

Spirit Breathe
One into many
In the hush the first hint of a breeze
Slowly the rim of the world lightens
Dull red blazing to white gold.

From The Journey, Tessa Stephens
