About
These five short poems reflect the poet's love of the landscapes and communities of Otago and Southland; this setting for voice and cello was written during my year as Mozart Fellow at the University of Otago. Composed for "Like Flowers in Rain", an Otago Festival of the Arts presentation of song and poetry honouring Ruth Dallas on the occasion of her 80th birthday, and first performed by ensemble "Panache" at the Globe Theatre, Dunedin in October 2000.
