      Abstract
      This collection of original compositions shows a range of themes and styles.

      Each piece portrays a different concept or idea I have grappled with during the year of composition. Three Angles of Anticipation is a set of three diverse orchestral works each based on the theme of waiting. In contrast, Sad Songs for a Rainy Day and a Broken Heart is a collection of six short pieces written for solo piano which explore the themes of grief and memories. Land of Promise? combines acoustic and electroacoustic techniques to create a work questioning how much we are informed of New Zealand's history, whereas Telemachus is a dramatic work about a Monk killed in a gladiator arena. To conclude, the electroacoustic tape work Ode to a Cricket is a set of three pieces created from the sample of a cricket call. It explores the theme of paying attention to the small and seemingly insignificant details of our world.
