Pokarekare Ana was originally written in 1912 as a bid to win the Heart of Paraire Henare Tomoana's beloved, Kuini Ripeka Ryland. Paraire had fallen in love with Kuini but her family refused to give their blessing to a marriage between the two. A lovelorn Paraire composed Pokarekare Ana in which he vowed his eternal love. He declared this passion by singing Pokarekare Ana at Te Poho-o-Rawiri Marae to Kuini in front of her Ngati Porou elders. The family was won over by his convincing performance and granted him their daughter's hand. How placid are the ripples of restless Waiapu, Dear they know of your returning, from far across the sea. Dear Heart of mine, I'll wait for thee, My love is thine alone, to eternity. This outdoor performance was the culmination of a six-week project which creates a choir from scratch for one night only. Each winter and summer, Chris Rowbury gathers a random bunch of singers from in and around Ipswich. There are no auditions and all s...    less

This is footage from The Australian Voices' concert at St Stephani, Bremen in December, 2010. Gowned as a bride thou art Caught with the glow, Giving with ruddy Heart Blood to the snow. Thou has come in to make Dreams to the boy, Lightly the girl will take Omens of joy. Thou hast the taste of all SweetHearts in Spring, Thou hast come out to call Colours to sing. Low rides the sun above, Meek as the moon: Thou art as moist in love As a love tune. Still as a bride thou art In a bride's gown: See! an uplifted Heart Beats in a clown.

It was a winning selection in the inaugural Pioneering Voices composition competition held by Mount Holyoke College. "delightful and whimsical....  the singers are really having fun with it." - Colin Britt  

The sixth Piece in a set of Seven Marian Motets.

I am thrilled to share with you some exciting news. I never imagined that this Piece would bring so many people together, but I am honored and humbled to announce that "Galaxias" has become the best-selling work in My catalogue. I'm grateful for everyone...

A choral Piece composed by an 18-year old Slovenian talent Matej Kastelic (one of the singers as well). Not too perfect, but still nice performance by his Conservatoire collegues.
