About
Song without words was written to mark the occasion of Helen Young's departure from Wellington to live in Auckland. Helen was always a champion of New Zealand music during her years at Radio New Zealand, and subsequently.
The piece has been written to be played by violin, viola or cello; the score exists in three versions.
