Dedications

Well, most composers keep these to themselves (with good reason); this is a new era. - I'll go in roughly chronological order. Not every piece in my catalogue has a dedication. Latin-Punk New Wave - Steve Nichols. Lullaby (2011), Waltz - Helen Renaud. I Te Pō Katoa - David Smith. III. Lullaby - Ashonti Blake Rhapsody for Guitar and Viola, Shipwrecked on Islands [the song], Innamorato - Aidan Verity (obviously👋🏻).

When Can I Call My Life My Own? - Adriana Milne These Words Are Meant For Someone - Emanuel E. Garcia (obviously). 19. Grace - Lauren Simpkins. That was her favourite song from the cycle. 'Tis You, Hidden Emotions III. - Jane Curry. Glad They Were Playing - Ingrid Saker. Machine Fatigue, Pan's Preludes VI. - Michelle Cameron. The Hungry Ghosts is her song about me and Stephen, so this was my response. 🤣 The Mist, Pan's Preludes V., K Road: Whakamana opening - Chlöe Swarbrick. The Punitive Cliff - Sarah Te Korowhiti The Chamber of Colours IV. - Amber Madriaga. faglung is a term that refers to boat lutes. Hidden Emotions I. - Jake Church. After Midnight - Umar Zakaria. This was inspired by Umar's Sun Song Suites. I realised that After Midnight was a time period that his piece hadn't captured. It's a total improvisation. Pan's Preludes III. - The Daktory. Dakta Green. Rose's Song - Jennifer Ward-Leland. I really want her to sing that song. 👋🏻 Jacinda Ardern (obviously). The Beach Song - Lucinda Ng (obviously). My Soul Shall Not Bend - Phillip Collins. I wrote that song for him, rather than the previous Reginald songs, which I wrote for a theoretical knight (who was a baritone). 'Tis You is the only song I've ever transposed. Phillip sang it up a tone. The Chamber of Colours III., Another World - Patria Lakshman. She's also who I was planning to visit during The Big Smoke. 🐸 String Quartet, 'The Maori in European Art' - Ngā Wai Hono I Te Pō - Plus I have some film dedications. The Road You Didn't Take - Caitlin Godfrey. The Dakumentary - Gary Chiles (obviously).

Portrait of a Knight - Andrew "George" Riddell (my Dad). - Hopefully this clears up some persistent misunderstandings. - Bonus dedication: Canvas No More - Corey Anderson. I wrote most of that while he was having a blinder. Not his fastest 100, but another good ODI innings.
