Programme Note

These songs were commissioned by Rangi Ruru Girls' School, Christchurch, in 2005 for the tour by the Senior Chorale, 'Resolutions', to Italy in April 2006. They are designed to be sung either individually or in different groupings. If all three are performed together, the composer recommends the following order:

1. the heavenly miracle (poem by Apirana Taylor) . . 3:10
2. High Country Weather (poem by James K. Baxter) . . 2:40 (unaccompanied)
3. a great seamstress (poem by Apirana Taylor) . . . 2:45

These songs have parts for sopranos 1 and 2, and altos 1 and 2. There is also a version which includes a Horn part for the accompanied pieces.

All three songs reflect the strong and beautiful images created by the New Zealand poets Apirana Taylor and James K. Baxter.
