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.
