Harris, Arts Laureate and one of New Zealand's most revered and versatile composers, wrote both pieces specially for Anna Gawn, who will perform for us this afternoon! The first, is a world premiere of Moriamur for mezzo soprano and string quartet - a song cycle based on the story of doomed love of Dido and Aeneas, with words taken from the 4th Book of Virgil's The Aeneid. The second work (Songs for Dark Times) is a series of songs for mezzo soprano, string quartet and accordion, originally written for the klezmer group The Kugels.
