The text of Karakia is a traditional Maori prayer, a homage to the elements and rhythms of nature. Every pitch in the piece is derived from the name of the composer's mother, who was born in New Zealand and died early in 2015. It is a sacred song of remembrance and renewal.

Chamber Music Flute(s)

SKU: PO.PE002

Composed by Helen Fisher. Sws. Collection - Score. Composed 1997. Promethean Editions #PE002. Published by Promethean Editions (PO.PE002).

ISBN 9780958367912.

This edition of two works by Fisher was a winning score in the 1999 Newly Published Flute Music Competition of the National Flute Association, Inc. (USA). Based on a well-known Maori incantation, or karakia, Te Tangi A Te Matui (1986) may be translated as the call of the matui (an extinct New Zealand bird). The karakia is first sung, then blended with the sound of the flute. Wings of the Wind (1994) exploits multiphonics and pitch bending to great effect.
