From "Matariki" on May 12th 2013, a programme of all New Zealand music held in Holy Trinity Church Devonport, Auckland. Ensemble Polymnia conducted by Sarah Bisley, solo violinist Sarah McCracken.
"Matariki" is the Maori New Year, around late May or early June, with the rise of the constellation "Pleiades" in mid winter. Traditionally it was a time for remembering the dead and celebrating new life.
Composer, engineer and arts executive Christopher Blake is quoted as having said, "My whole life's been music...". He has undertaken commissions for all the major music organisations in New Zealand including the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra, New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, Southern Sinfonia, Mercury Opera and Chamber Music New Zealand and for a range of performers and ensembles. His music is regularly heard in concerts and broadcasts and overseas including orchestral performances in Australia, Finland, Germany, Mexico and the United States of America.
His works have attracted wide critical acclaim and include: 'Till Human Voices Wake Us' (1986) for orchestra and tenor soloist; a piano concerto 'The Coming of Tane Mahuta' (1987); 'Clairmont Triptych' (1988) for piano and wind quintet which was New Zealand's entry in the 1989 UNESCO Rostrum of Composers in Paris; 'Bitter Calm' an opera in 2 Acts premiered at the 1994 New Zealand International Festival of the Arts; 'Symphony -- The Islands' (1996) and a violin concerto 'Concerto Aoraki' premiered in 2006.
The inspiration for "Angel at Ahipara" came from Colin McCahon's painting "Northland Panels" and Robin Morrison's black and white photographs of Northland. One focussed on the landscape and the other on the spiritual domain as represented by the artists. The work is in seven sections, performed as a continuous whole.
I The Angel holds vigil at the grave  
II The Angel sings her hymns of praise  
III The Angel makes the spirit roar  
IV the Angel brings joy  
V The Angel calms the storm  
VI The Angel sounds music from heaven 
 VII The Angel holds vigil at the grave
Sarah Bisley
