Introduced by David Hamilton with Tim Dodd.

'Summer Sun' and 'Night and Day' have texts by Robert Louis Stevenson from his classic collection A Child's Garden of Verses.

The composer sought unity in these settings by focussing on aspects of time: day and night, summer, the sun and the moon.

Recorded by RNZ Concert in Raye Freedman Arts Centre, Epsom Girls Grammar School, 23 June 2019

Producer: Tim Dodd

Engineer: Adrian Hollay
