It would appear to them, perhaps, that two or three rather good poets have emerged from these islands. So good, in fact, that their appearance in any anthology of Common• wealth poetry would make for a matter of rather pleasurable comment and would certainly not lower the general stand• ard of the book. I'll come back to these two or three poets presently, but let us first consider the question of New Zealand's prose writers. Ah yes, we have, or had, Kath• erine Mansfield, who died exactly fifty years ago. Her work is legendary — her Collected Stories (Constable) goes from reprint to reprint, and indeed, pirate printings are being shovelled off to the priting mills now that her fifty year copyright protection has run out. But Katherine Mansfield never was a "New Zealand writer" as such. She left early in the piece. But how did later writers fare, internationally speaking? It was Janet Frame who first wrote the long awaited "New Zealand Novel." Owls Do Cry was published in 1957. A rather cruel but incisive novel, about herself (everyone has one good novel in them), it centred on her own childhood experiences in Oamaru, a small town eighty miles north of Dunedin -— a town in which rough farmers drove sheep-shit-smelling American V-8 jalopies inexpertly down the main drag — where the local "bikies" as they are now called, grouped in vociferous RECENT NEW ZEALAND WRITING 17 bunches outside the corner milk bar.

  • New Zealand Works for Contrabassoon

Throughout the long history of contra- register double-reed instruments the assumed role has been to provide a foundation for the wind chord, along the same line as the double bass does for the strings. Due to the scale of these instruments - close to six metres in acoustic length, to reach the subcontra B flat’’, an octave below the bassoon’s lowest note, B flat’ - they have always been difficult and expensive to build, difficult to play, and often unsatisfactory in evenness of scale and dynamic range, and thus instruments and performers are relatively rare. Given this bleak outlook it is unusual to find a number of works written for solo contrabassoon by New Zealand composers. This exegesis considers the development of contra-register double-reed instruments both internationally and within New Zealand, and studies five works by New Zealand composers for solo contrabassoon, illuminating what it was that led them to compose for an instrument that has been described as the 'step-child' or 'Cinderella' of both the wind chord and instrument makers.

We are to be treated to Viktoria Mullova’s exquisite violin playing within the intimacy of the piano trio, where she performs with her husband, cellist Matthew Barley and long-time collaborator, one of New Zealand’s favourite pianists, Stephen De Pledge. Their programme is drawn from the cornerstones of the repertoire - the impassioned masterpiece of Schubert’s Trio in E flat followed in the second half by the heartfelt and sensual sonorities in Ravel’s Trio in A Minor, I am sure this will be an evening to remember. The CMNZ commission of a new work by Salina Fisher ‘Mono no aware’ for cello and piano is generously supported by Prof. Jack C Richards and received its world premiere at the Melbourne Recital Centre ahead of the CMNZ tour. I’m thrilled that a brand-new New Zealand work has been internationally showcased in this way. I would like to thank the Turnovsky Endowment Trust, who are the generous supporters of the Wellington concert.

  • From Dwelling to Destination: on New Zealand’S House Museums
    ♥ Art Literature Theatre Music Screen Society Loose Canons Knockouts News Videos Events Art 20.07.2018 From Dwelling to Destination: On New Zealand’s House Museums By Sebastian Clarke Sebastian Clarke on the character and reputation of our most idiosyncratic institutions. I will eschew any suspense and begin with an admission: I’m a hound for house museums. I seek out these introspective havens peppered throughout Aotearoa with great fervour. My self-appointed role as loyal advocate for our house museums emerged not by epiphany, but thanks to a scratchy, woven basket. Said basket resides in Nelson’s Isel House, a dollhouse of a building that greets visitors with a full face of hand-shaped local boulders sweetly framed by slim, red bricks. It may be the most unremarkable item in a house abounding in extravagant furniture and Sèvres porcelain, but from its upstairs station, this basket looks out to the parkland that embraces Isel House. Wood splints are collected from the park, planted by the house’s first resident, to make baskets like the one that refuses to be erased from my memory. This basket glows with a fiercely local provenance, and reminds me that experiencing interior spaces and objects so soaked in history is like time-travel – magic. However, as I encounter more of these memory palaces, buildings so rapt with the past, I cannot help but wonder about their precarious future. Image courtesy Ngaio Marsh House Trust. The straightforward term ‘house museum’ describes, in correct order, a transformation from dwelling to destination. A trigger for us to reread the rooms.

  • Introduction: “A Refusal to Read”
    ka mate ka ora: a new zealand journal of poetry and poetics Issue 1 2005 “BY WRITING AND EXAMPLE”: THE BAXTER EFFECT John Newton Introduction: fame and “folk” When James K. Baxter left the literary straight-and-narrow to immerse himself in the Jerusalem commune — in a process which transformed him into a media icon who for many may be only incidentally a writer — he created a problem which our literary culture has not yet remotely assimilated. The Baxter of the Jerusalem era achieved what for a New Zealand poet remains unrivalled celebrity. And in this self-reinvention he discovered a path, if not precisely in his poetry then through it, to the public vocation to which he had always aspired. The poet emerges as a social activist. The writings that record this transformation have been well enough received; beginning with Karl Stead in his influential Islands essay of 1973, plenty of readers have been glad to affirm the Jerusalem poetry as his crowning achievement.1 The extent of his popular exposure, however, is apt to be viewed as an irritant and a distraction. For instance Stead writes: “A haze of undiscriminating feeling surrounds Baxter . To the young . he has become a culture hero, and if his poems were much less remarkable than they are I suspect his youthful disciples would not know it and would admire them quite as much.”2 Meanwhile, in literary circles at least, the activism itself has gone largely unanalysed, sidelined in deference to what his biographer Frank McKay calls the more “lasting fruit” of his poetry and prose.3 This ambivalent response to late Baxter was rehearsed at the time of the poet’s death by his one-time sponsor, Allen Curnow: 11 A Refusal to Read Poems of James K.

  • The Quest for the Long White Whale: Nature Imagery in New Zealand Classical Music
    THE QUEST FOR THE LONG WHITE WHALE: NATURE IMAGERY IN NEW ZEALAND CLASSICAL MUSIC Peter Beatson [An earlier version of this article appeared in Sites 22:34-53, 1991, and was reprinted with illustrations the following year in Canzona.] INTRODUCTION This article weaves together three intertwining threads. Firstly and most importantly, it is intended as a modest contribution to the academic study of New Zealand classical music. For a very small country, we have an impressive line-up of composers, of whom 105 are listed in John Mansfield Thomson's 1990 Biographical Dictionary of New Zealand Composers, yet the discursive content of their work receives far less analytical attention in sites of intellectual discourse than their literary colleagues. The present article is not intended as anything like a total survey, but I have attempted in its course to introduce the names of a significant number of composers and their works to indicate in purely quantitative terms the size of this rather under-valued component of our national culture. Here, then, is the first thread: putting it simply, I just wanted to write something about New Zealand classical music! However, that initial impulse was a little too vague, inchoate and open-ended. To limit the field, and to give the discussion manageable structure and direction, I made the strategic decision to focus on just one theme, namely the ways in which the natural world is represented in our national music. I will therefore not be discussing self-referential, abstract music with no aspirations to be anything other than a sonata, quartet, symphony or whatever, nor programmatic works (such as operas and songs) with subjects other than nature.
