Masters Thesis Final
A MUSICOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF NATURE’S BEST A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at The University of Waikato by NICHOLAS BRAAE The University of Waikato 2012 Abstract Academic research on New Zealand popular music has primarily been conducted from historical and cultural perspectives. While asking important questions, these sources have rarely engaged with the musical details of New Zealand popular music. This thesis is a musicological analysis of the 100 songs from the three Nature’s Best albums. The musical perspective complements the socio-cultural research on New Zealand popular music. The Nature’s Best project was instigated by Mike Chunn in 2001 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA). All songwriting members of APRA and 100 celebrities and critics were invited to vote for their ten favourite New Zealand popular songs. Fourmyula’s 1969 hit ‘Nature’ gained the most votes. The three Nature’s Best CDs ranked the top 100 songs. The albums were a commercial success upon release in 2002 and 2003. This thesis analyses the 100 songs with regards to eight musical parameters: harmony, melodic construction, form, beat, length, tempo, introductory hooks and instrumental solos. The analytical methods were drawn from classical and popular musicology. Interviews with twelve songwriters were also conducted to gain alternative viewpoints on the analysis. The 100 songs provide a sample of New Zealand popular music from 1970 until 2000; thus, the analysis is useful for addressing questions of New Zealand musical style and traits. The results suggest New Zealand songwriters follow fundamental principles of Anglo-American songwriting, such as arched and balanced melodies, and forms based on repeated and contrasting sections.

**Final Cover Art:Layout 1 6/4/10 9:54 AM Page 1 26 mm The hits of Neil and Tim Finn read like a checklist of recent pop history. And to think it all began in sleepy, rural Te Awamutu, New Zealand, where Brian Timothy Finn fell in love with the Beatles, an obsession that would also work its way straight into his younger brother Neil’s DNA. Success for the brothers was a long time coming: it took several turbulent years in Split Enz before they produced a genuine hit and connected with the mainstream. And it was achieved by one of Neil’s songs, ‘I Got You’, which wasn’t the sweetest pill brother Tim had ever tasted. After all, Split Enz was his band, his odyssey, his obsession. When the Enz came undone, their paths split. Neil led world-beaters Crowded House, while Tim immersed himself in a series of bold, if not always successful, solo projects. Eventually the brothers reunited, leading to Woodface, an album considered by many to be Crowded House’s finest. Based on interviews, critical analysis, extensive research and the author’s 30-plus years of following the Finns, Together Alone is the first biography written about the Finn brothers. This is a story of breakthroughs, breakdowns, sibling rivalry and respect – and some of the best pop songs this side of Lennon and McCartney. www.randomhouse.com.au ISBN 978-1-74166-816-2 Front cover photo: Paul Spencer Back cover photo: Alan Wild Cover design: Darian Causby/Highway 51 Design Works 9 781741 668162 BIOGRAPHY/MUSIC Copyright © Jeff Apter 2010.

“Years Ago in an Auckland Flat This Odyssey Began This Odyssey Began M Otivates M E Still Northward I'm Bound Northward I'
“Years ago in an Auckland flat This odyssey began M otivates m e still Northward I’m bound Haul away, haul away, haul away.” (Haul Away – Tim Finn) In October 1972 in Auckland, New Zealand, Brian Timothy Finn (vocals, piano), Phil Judd (guitar, vocals), Jonathan Michael (Mike) Chunn (bass), Miles Golding (violin) and Mike Howard (flute) formed a five-piece acoustic group called Split Ends. Judd worked on lyrics, Finn provided the melodies while Golding provided a classical background. The result was an eclectic mixture unlike anything else being produced in New Zealand at the time. The group recorded their first single For You/Split Ends in February 1973, and shortly after Golding left to study in London. After Golding’s departure Mike Chunn urged the band to take an electronic direction and Geoff Chunn (drums), Paul Wally Wilkinson (guitar) and Rob Gillies (saxophone, trumpet) were added to the lineup. The seven piece commenced a small tour of Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington supporting John Mayall. In late 1973 the band entered a NZ television talent contest called New Faces. Despite high expectations the band were to come second last. Their appearance made a favourable impression with some however, and they secured a 30-minute concert special for Television New Zealand. In a patriotic gesture the band chose at this time to change their name from Split Ends to Split Enz and in November 1973 the group released their second single 129/ Sweet Talking Spoon Song. In 1974 Anthony Edward (Eddie) Rayner (keyboards), Noel Crombie (percussion and art director), and Paul Emlyn Crowther (drums) joined the band while Geoff Chunn and Rob Gillies left.

Somewhere back in history, someone created legislation that allowed artists to get paid. Copyright makes me feel that my work’s not for nothing. It’s hard enough to be a musician. If we didn’t have mechanisms to protect our work it would be almost impossible.” BIC RUNGA Artist & Songwriter “I would say that protecting the integrity of copyright should be our number one priority, so that the work of music creators continues to be valued.” NEIL FINN SPLIT ENZ, CROWDED HOUSE, FLEETWOOD MAC Artist & Songwriter “The internet changed things so quickly and there’s so much still to be revealed about its nature. It scares me that big tech companies are determining so much of the future for artists – and for the world in general. So much has been made possible for us by sharing – but far more has been made possible for them by what we share.” SALINA FISHER Composer, Performer & Fulbright Scholar “Protecting the value of what people compose, write and create is fundamental.
