Pounamu by Fisher is perfect for choirs seeking to perform a work that combines Western and Maori musical traditions enhanced by a solo flute. Inspired by the sparkling summer wate rs of New Zealand’s Tasman Bay, the work employs a choir setting to explore resonances of Maori vowel sounds. The waiata (song) that emerges during the work is based on a tainui whakatauki, or proverb. The flute part can also be performed on Japanese shakuhachi or the Maori koauau. Choral parts may be purchased through our choral performance material licensing scheme. Show more
