Composer Profiles JOHN ELMSLY is based at the University of Auckland in New Zealand and has enjoyed a composing career of over 35 years. His work Pacific Hockets (1991) stands out as one of his most important large-scale works. It contains a number of intriguing compositional devices that feature in much of his output. He combines hocketing with minimalist additive and reductive processes, which creates a wide range of orchestral timbre in his work. GARETH FARR is one of New Zealand’s leading composers. His music is particularly influenced by his extensive study of percussion music throughout the Pacific Rim, including Rarotangan log drum ensembles and Indonesian gamelan. Farr’s work Kembang Suling (1995) for flute and marimba is now a standard in percussion repertoire. His orchestral work From the Depths Sound the Great Sea Gongs (1996) has become a New Zealand classic. CHRISTOS HATZIS is well known in Canada and internationally for his works. His music is inspired by protoChristian spirituality, his own Byzantine music heritage, world cultures and various non-classical music genres such as jazz, pop and world music. Among his most widelyperformed works is Fertility Rites (1997) for marimba and digital audio, which was inspired and incorporates the music of the Inuit, Canada’s arctic inhabitants. MATTHEW HINDSON is a freelance Australian composer. His music exhibits the influence of contemporary popular music within a ‘classical’ context. With his particular (and often critically divisive) interest in techno and death-metal genres, driving repeated rhythms and loud dynamic levels are typical elements of his work, as are directness and immediacy of impact. In Search of Ecstasy is widely performed and showcases his unique style of writing. VINCENT HO lives in Winnipeg, Canada where he is composer-in-residence with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. His music is rich and energetic—a unique integration of influences ranging from the visual arts, electroacoustic and natural soundscapes, traditional classical music forms, and the physical properties of the instruments and ensembles for which he writes. DOUGLAS LILBURN occupies a pre-eminent position in New Zealand music, with a legacy extending well beyond his compositional output. As a composer, teacher and mentor he presided in innumerable ways over the artistic growth of New Zealand from the 1940s onward. From the early works redolent of the influence of Sibelius and Vaughan Williams, to the electro-acoustic pieces of his later years, his works have been instrumental in establishing a genuinely vernacular voice in New Zealand classical music.
MIKE NOCK is a jazz pianist and composer based in Sydney, Australia. He is internationally recognised as a leading jazz pianist/composer through his extensive catalogue of recordings and original compositions. Firestarters 3 brings together an essential collection of his works for solo piano. ‘Nock’s ringing iconoclasm pervades all of his music, taps a deep well of melody that transcends jazz and informs and ignites his every encounter’ Down Beat, USA. STEPHAN PROCK has written music for a variety of electronic and acoustic media, and his works have been performed throughout Europe, New Zealand and the United States of America. One of his most recent works, Stradivariazioni reveals Prock’s eclectic range of influences and demonstrates an intricate and beautiful sound world for which he writes. LARRY PRUDEN belongs to the generation of composers subsequent to the great pioneer of New Zealand music, Douglas Lilburn. Pruden’s similarly significant contribution to the establishment of a genuine vernacular lives on in the works for which he is best known. His String Trio (1953-55) testifies to the influence of British composer Benjamin Frankel had on several New Zealand composers. Written by Pruden while he studied under Frankel, at the Guildhall School of Music, London in the early 1950s, this work lends itself to influences of Eastern Europe and Bela Bartók. JOHN PSATHAS is one of New Zealand’s most frequently performed composers. Early success came in 1991 with Matre’s Dance (1991), a maximum-energy duet for percussion and piano that has since made Psathas’ name internationally known through having been taken up and championed by Dame Evelyn Glennie. This work and Drum Dances (1993) are now standard repertoire for percussionists. One of his seminal works is View From Olympus (2001), a double concerto for percussion, piano and orchestra, which continues to thrill audiences worldwide. ANTHONY RITCHIE is a composer and teacher based at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. His early influences were predominantly from East European composers: Bartók, Shostakovich and Stravinsky. His Ph.D study on Bartók cultivated a strong appreciation for ethnic music, which can be heard in many of his works, ranging from Cook Island drumming in his first symphony through to gamelan influences in recent compositions.
