The album begins with Philip Norman’s six-part Tense Melodies for guitar and flute (Carol Hohauser), then continues with Anthony Ritchie’s Autumn Moods for guitar and cello (Heleen du Plessis) and Kenneth Young’s three-piece Suite for guitar and violin (Tessa Petersen). The set concludes with It’s Love, Isn’t It?, a 15-part work by Philip Norman featuring poetry by Alistair Te Ariki Campbell and Meg Campbell recited by Sir Jon Trimmer and Dame Kate Harcourt.
