Study and perform the music of Gareth Farr
Feature Gallipoli this year with Gareth Farr’s Onslaught
for Brass Band and Percussion
In 2004, the New Zealand Army Band commissioned Gareth Farr to write Onslaught to mark the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Gallipoli. In anticipation of the centenary commemorations in 2015, we are pleased to announce the release of Onslaught as a published edition study score (PE133S), conductor’s score (PE133SC) and complete set of 30 performance parts (PE133P).
As many New Zealanders know, 3000 New Zealand soldiers were part of an amphibious Allied invasion that took place at what is now known as Anzac Cove, on Turkey’s Gallipoli Peninsula, on 25 April 1915. Under heavy fire they made their way up the beach in an attempt to divert and prevent Turkish forces from strengthening their defence against the main Allied landing further south at Cape Helles. During an under-resourced and poorly-conducted campaign that would span 260 days, 2,721 of the 8,556 New Zealand soldiers who landed at Anzac Cove perished. Among those that fought were the members of four New Zealand army bands. By the end of the fighting, the casualty rate was such that there was only one band’s worth of members left alive.
Newly published in 2014, Onslaught communicates on a strongly physical and visceral level in its portrayal of the intensity and chaos of battle. The published edition study score includes Farr’s intriguing notes about writing the work. Study and perform this exhilarating music by Farr with the score and performance materials from Promethean Editions.

Celebrate Douglas Lilburn’s Centenary with Drysdale Overture
Douglas Lilburn occupies a pre-eminent position in New Zealand music, with a legacy extending well beyond his compositional output. As a composer, teacher and mentor he presided in innumerable ways over the artistic growth of New Zealand from 1940 onwards. From the early works redolent of the influence of Sibelius and Vaughan Williams, to the electro-acoustic pieces of his later years, his works have been instrumental in establishing a genuine vernacular in New Zealand classical music.
Lilburn was one of many New Zealand composers who travelled to England to continue their studies. He studied under the aegis of Ralph Vaughan Williams at the Royal College of Music in London. During his time in London he wrote his first major orchestral work, Drysdale Overture (1937). This remains as one of Lilburn’s quintessential works with its nostalgic portrayal of the New Zealand landscape. The work won first prize at the New Zealand National Centennial Competition in 1940 and more recently it has become established as a staple of orchestral repertoire with regular performances and recordings presented by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. Drysdale Overture is now available as a newly published study score, released in celebration of the centenary of Lilburn’s birth in 1915.

Douglas Lilburn Complete Piano Edition: Volumes 1 – 4
For teachers, it will be a gold mine Rod Biss, NZ Listener
In 2005 Trust Records launched the first volume in the award-winning recording series showcasing all of Lilburn’s piano music, receiving ‘Best Classical Album’ in the 2005 Recording Industry of New Zealand Music Awards. In the same year, Gramophone magazine stated that ‘[These] performances and recordings are unobtrusively excellent.’
“Now one can not only listen to the music but also follow it on the page. Even more important is that this music is for anyone who plays the piano; in no way was it intended for professionals alone. Lilburn was a good pianist but he had no interest in unnecessary virtuosity or pianistic display.” Rod Biss, NZ Listener

Gareth Farr’s Balinese Pieces for Piano
Full-on bravura piano writing Ian Dando, Christchurch Star
Balinese Pieces (1996-2003) is a set of three piano works influenced by gamelan music of Indonesia and is suitable for advanced school students of approximately Grade VIII and above. This set includes Sepuluh Jari (‘ten fingers’), Tentang Cara Gamelan (‘on the technique of gamelan’), and Jangan Lupa (‘don’t forget’). Farr perfectly captures the exciting rhythms and beautiful sonorities of gamelan music and combines it with sounds and textures reminiscent of French impressionism. His writing for piano in these pieces is exciting, with fast melodic passages and complex rhythms. The three pieces can be performed together as a set or separately as stand-alone works. Balinese Pieces is sure to be a highlight in any piano recital programme.
“...it was Gareth Farr's outrageously extrovert gamelan-inspired piece Sepuluh Jari that really got this capacity audience going. What a tremendous head of steam this piece works up—an exhilarating tour de force.” Tim Bridgewater, The Dominion Post, 13 March 1996.

Gareth Farr: Dua Lagu (Piano Six Hands) (8 mins) PE097 | Firestarters 4 | Score | $64.00 Dua Lagu (1993) is the perfect recital work for three
pianists wishing to perform together at one piano. Inspired
by the exotic sounds of Indonesian gamelan, the work
showcases the performer’s ensemble skills, sense of pulse
and rhythmic unity. The beauty of this work is the unique
blend of traditional gamelan music with the full sound of
the piano, performed by the might of six hands at one
keyboard.
Gareth Farr: Little Sea Gongs (Percussion Quartet) (3 mins) PE079S | Score | $34.00PE079P | Parts | $52.00Little Sea Gongs (1997) is a miniature companion-piece to
From the Depths Sound the Great Sea Gongs, Farr’s major
work composed for the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra which incorporates the visual spectacle of three percussionists playing a line of ten roto toms. The
drumming style is very much inspired by Rarotongan log
drumming and is fast, furious and very loud.
Gareth Farr: Volume Pig (Percussion Quartet) (11:30 mins) PE010S | Score | $51.00PE010P | Parts | $69.00A signature work of STRIKE PERCUSSION, Volume Pig
(1992) is a crowd favourite and is now featuring in the
repertory of talented student groups. “With Farr’s Volume
Pig we experienced intricate textures of quadraphonic
drumming interspersed with wild shrieks, grunts and
howls. Just when we thought we knew what was coming
next, the wild volume dropped to a barely audible whisper.
Clever theatre—the audience were kept guessing until the
last moment.” Hawkes Bay Today
Gareth Farr: Mondo Rondo (String Quartet) (12:00 mins) PE033S | Score | $58.65PE033P | Performance Set | $79.35 Mondo Rondo (1997) is one of Farr’s most widely
performed chamber music works. It is immediately
engaging due to its combination of exotic melodies and
percussive, funky rhythms throughout the three contrasting
movements. Farr incorporates a clever use of the ensemble
with hocketing, in which a tune is shared and passed
between players. This work is perfect for string quartets
looking for repertoire that is energetic and enjoyable for
listeners. Also available for piano trio, arranged by Farr in
2012.
Gareth Farr: Mondo Rondo (Piano Trio) (12:00 mins) PE132 | Performance Set | $65.55

Pianos, Eight Hands) (6:15 mins)UME05S | Score | $57.00UME05P | Performance Set | $54.00A Tedious Brief Scene: Bottom’s Dance (2011) is a fine
example of Holmes‘ work from her career as a composer
and educator for over 25 years. Holmes was inspired to
depict the character Bottom from Shakespeare’s A
Midsummer Night’s Dream in writing this lighthearted
work. It is highly engaging and energetic with elements of
minimalist techniques of layered melodic ostinati, along
with jazz-influenced and non-tonal harmony. It is suitable
for performance by secondary students of approximately
Grade VIII and above (ABRSM / Trinity).
Larry Pruden: String TrioPEP11 | Performance set | $77.00I. Overture (4 mins)II. Serenade (6:50 mins)III. Scherzo (6:10 mins)IV. Epilogue, (7:15 mins)Pruden’s String Trio (1953-55) testifies to the influence
British composer Benjamin Frankel had on several New
Zealand composers. Written by Pruden while he studied
under Frankel, at London’s Guildhall School of Music in the
early 1950s, this work lends itself to influences of Eastern
Europe and Bela Bartók. This edition, based on the
painstakingly edited version presented in Pruden’s
Collected Edition, is now presented as a performance set.
While it was originally written for professional musicians,
this work is suitable for advanced chamber music students.
John Psathas: Aegean (Piano Trio) (4:30 mins) PE181 | Performance Set | $62.10Short and elegant, Aegean (2012) is perfect for trios
wishing to add a dose of romance to a concert
programme. Psathas wrote it as the second of two
companion pieces for piano trio with the Mediterranean in
mind. The piano softly articulates odd-metered rhythms as
the strings rhythmically intertwine, with softly expressive
solo passages emerging throughout, making for an
exquisite listening experience.

Whale (1997), a dramatic setting for 8-part

choice in either a concert setting or a church context.” The
Singer, June/July 2005

work inspired by the land, sea and Māori culture. The choir

sounds are explored and a waiata emerges. “Pounamu is
an attractive short piece that manages to synthesise
convincingly aspects of our Western and Māori musical
traditions.” Canzona, 1997

the perfect work for secondary-school choirs who are
interested in performing a contemporary setting of a Greek
Orthodox Christmas chant. The performance of the work

exotic sounds of Middle-Eastern ululations and Tibetan
overtone singing. The work is primarily structured on
canonic lines between the voices, which are layered into
captivating organum-like textures. This work is a
fascinating blend of old and new that choirs and audiences
are sure to enjoy.

Hatzis arranged the treble voice parts of a medieval
plainsong chant and enhanced it with an original cello part.
The virtuosic cello part complements the voices with
melismatic lines, pitch bends and ornamentations. The
beauty of this work is the unique blend of new and old
music, which makes it a perfect fit for any choir
programme.

combines the antiquity of Middle English with the modern
edge of Psathas’ music.
