<strong>Aoraki</strong><br />
Soprano, Kapa Haka, Percussion and Orchestra<br />
Facsimile Study Score<br />
Score version February 2005<br />
<strong>Aoraki</strong> Originally written for soprano, kaikaranga (Maori chanter),<br />
percussion, puoro Maori (Maori wind instruments) and electronic keyboard<br />
for the pre-game entertainment at the 2002 Bledisloe Cup rugby test, Farr’s<br />
orchestral version of <strong>Aoraki</strong> is a complete reworking of the material into<br />
a more substantial concert piece. A setting of a specially commissioned<br />
poem by Wellington poet Te Taite Cooper, the work is also an integration<br />
of Maori, Pakeha and Pacific music styles, something of an analogy to how<br />
Farr sees our society, or at least how it could be – many cultures side by side,<br />
all independent, none compromising their integrity, but working together<br />
harmoniously.<br />
This edition is a facsimile of the original score provided by the composer.<br />
