Wawatatia for Solo Cornet and Piano
Wawatatia is a slow melody style work for a Cornet Soloist. This work was commissioned by Anthony Smith, for his performances in the Canterbury Slow Melody Contest, and the NZ National Invitational Slow Melody Competition.
Wawatatia means “to dream for, to hope for, or to desire something to be” and was written during the Covid-19 pandemic that swept the world. It has been a tough and disruptive few years for everyone and Wawatatia depicts a state of internal reflection on the challenging times that have been - but with an emphasis on not dwelling on the past and looking forward to the future with a desire or hope for a better world. Cleverly embedded through the piece are quotations from Eric Ball’s Resurgam which depict the hope that we all have for the future.
