Five Waiata for Solo Flute. Composed by Peter Adams. Sws. Performance Score. Promethean Editions #UME11. Published by Promethean Editions (PO.UME11). ISBN 9781877564895.
This set of five waiata (songs or chants in Maori culture) draws inspiration from the natural and spiritual worlds described in the poem Mercy by Greek-Armenian poet Olga Broumas. Like the poem, Adams work similarly explores themes of love, loss and transcendence. The elegant arching structures and recurring motives derived from a 12-tone row make it a fascinating work for solo flute.
