This recording presents works from over three decades of New Zealand choral composition which draw upon the words of New Zealand poets and take their inspiration from the landscape of Aotearoa (New Zealand). From one of the earliest, David Hamilton's 'Lux Aeterna', to the recently commissioned works by Gillian Whitehead, Anthony Ritchie and Sarah McCallum, the choir engages with the diversity of styles and the uniqueness of the colours and textures on the pages of these scores.
