Music has the ability to tell stories, convey emotions and keep memories alive. In his new book Good-bye Maoriland Chris Bourke explores the importance of New Zealand music during the Great War including how the tone of the music changed as the War exacted a heavy toll. Bourke found very little of the music is still remembered today, but what has stood the test of time are the songs by Maori composers of the time.
