OR 001 Edwin Carr
(1926-2003)

New Zealand composer Edwin Carr was born in Auckland in 1926 and spent a good
deal of his life in Europe. He was a prolific composer and wrote four symphonies.
There are many other orchestral works, ballets and pieces for chamber ensembles: a
wind octet, two string quartets and a quartet for winds and piano. He composed two
piano concertos, one for violin, three piano sonatas and a set of ten concert studies for
piano. Much of Carr's output has been commercially recorded.
Edwin Carr lived on Waiheke, a large island in the Hauraki Gulf adjoining Auckland
harbour. He was an eclectic composer and wrote in a diatonic-modal style as well as a
modified serial system in which he sought to reinstate a more sensitive harmonic
aesthetic.
Among his latter works was a commission for the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra
based upon a monologue by one of New Zealand's best-known writers Bruce Mason.
This was a seascape entitled The End of the Golden Weather.
In the summer of 1999, Edwin Carr was honoured by the Queen and awarded the
MNZM, thus becoming a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit.
He died on the 27th March 2003, aged 76, in his home on Waiheke Island.

Four Pieces

Oboe d'amore (Cor anglais), Harp & String Orchestra
OR 001
This work was composed for Jennifer Paull during the years 1966-1967 and dedicated
to her. It exists in the present version as well as another form in which the solo
instrument is accompanied by piano ( SI 002 ). Each piece depicts a different style
of movement and a contrasting mood.
March: The rhythmic element in this piece is quite conventional. Similarly with the
other pieces in this work, the harmonic distortions and wayward melodic line are the
dimensions, which give the effect of surrealism in terms of music.
Musette: A perfect fifth imitates the drone of bagpipes in the bass of this piece. There
is a hint of the grotesque when the drone thickens and deepens.
Pastoral: A shepherd improvises on his reed-pipe. It is gentle and distant and at the
end he falls asleep leaving the phrase unfinished.
Almain: Non-stop semiquaver movement underlines this near-parody of the Baroque
German dance.
