Three Landscapes for Orchestra is inspired by Aotearoa's ancient native forests and history, and the first movement, Frond, describes a scene from Leonie Holmes' childhood of wandering in deep, dark bush.

It was composed in 2004 and glistens with the composer's signature silvery timbres and distinctive, atmospheric soundscapes.

Recorded 26 May 2018, Wellington Cathedral of St Paul by RNZ Concert

Producer: David McCaw
