About
This piece was inspired by a vivid scene described by composer Douglas Lilburn:
"On the way up here in the night train we stopped at National Park, and in the moonlight I could see an uncanny picture of Ngaurohoe and Ruapehu. I was so excited by this that I hung out of the door of the carriage as we came from National Park down to Raurimu at the foot of the Spiral. There was something very strange about that experience of speeding through the night with the vivid night smell of the bush country all around me."
- Douglas G. Lilburn, A Search for Tradition, 1946
