New music editions July 2017 Our three releases this month are from composers who span two generations of New Zealand music: Gareth Farr, Promethean Editions’ first House Composer and one of New Zealand’s most internationally recognised composers; and Salina Fisher, who recently became the youngest recipient of the SOUNZ Contemporary Award, New Zealand’s premier composition prize.
create a propulsive rhythmic tapestry. Named after the Japanese word for the interplay between light and leaves when sunlight shines through trees, Fisher’s Komorebi for violin and vibraphone will appeal to players interested in the use of extended playing techniques to create imaginative timbres and colours. Initially, sustained violin harmonics mix with the vibraphone’s soft glow, but it is

work’s searching theme. A landmark work from Farr’s early career, Ruaumoko for orchestra is named after the Maori god of earthquakes, who dwells unborn in the womb of his mother the Earth, causing the shaking of the earth and the changing of the seasons. Farr channels the elemental forces of nature across four movements based on the four seasons. Tender woodwind playing features in the sweet, airy Te Ngahuru (Autumn), while perilous, swirling woodwind contours and booming percussion dominate Te Takurua (Winter). Slowly stirring woodwinds and strings eventually blossom into tutti resplendence in Te Koanga (Spring), its energy carrying through into Te Raumati (Summer), in which the choirs of the orchestra interlock to

Gem was commissioned by pianist Nicola Melville, in memory of her teacher Judith Clark. This mysterious work is a contemplative rubato journey, predominantly along the black keys of the piano. Short flourishes of notes reach into the instrument’s upper register, released in delicate droplets, that are particularly affecting when decorating the work’s searching theme. Accelerated ascending runs lead to a climax of tumbling high register figures in contrary motion with the left hand.

Based on the story of the Maori god of earthquakes, Ruaumoko sees Farr channeling the elemental forces of nature across four movements based on the four seasons. Tender woodwind playing is followed by perilous swirling contours and booming percussion, while elsewhere chiming pitched percussion, surging brass drones and interlocking choirs propel this dynamic work towards a triumphant finale.

S A LINA F I SH E R Komorebi Violin and Vibraphone
Komorebi’s sustained violin harmonics mix with the glow of a repeated three-note vibraphone figure that gently pushes the piece along. Soaring, patiently held violin lines dominate the first half of the piece, punctuated with aching glissandi descents. The second half of the work is a wander through a dream-like senza misura passage, with sonorities intermingling as the vibraphone’s elastic, rolling gestures and bowed keys converse with the violin’s harmonic tremolos and delicately expressive statements.
