The Great Harbour of Tara, Op 17
Date: [2001]
From: Twomey, Ray, 1938- : Musical scores
Reference: MSDL-0308
Description: Version 2. Includes parts for various instruments Other - A tone poem in praise of Te Whanganui o Tara. The work starts with atmosphere - waves lapping very gently on Petone beach and the tinkle of sand. The main theme sounds on the Fr. Horn then the music builds and eventually a reference is made to the old whaling days followed by a storm (a characteristic of Cook Strait - the infamous 'Southerly') building to hurricane force strength. The storm also alludes to the sinking of the 'Wahine' ferry in the '60s. An elegy for strings follows in honour of the victims of that disaster. The mood gradually changes to calm acceptance and on to an optimistic view of Wellington's future, a big, full tutti. The work closes with the atmosphere of sand, surf and evening. Responsibility - Dedicated to Patricia & Vincent Kerr and their daughters Isabel and Charlotte Arrangement: These files were originally delivered to the library within a folder called "(17) 'THE GREAT HARBOUR OF TARA'" Quantity: 22 Electronic document(s).
