Because of the child
For mezzo-soprano
Poem by Fiona Farrell
The first performance of Because of the Child was given by Ana Good in March 2013.
About the work
Because of the child was written for the launch of Sir Alan Mark’s risk assessment project, which invites the parties of government to join forces and consider the risks facing Aotearoa New Zealand, particularly from climate change.
Score and recordings
You can borrow or buy the score and a recording from SOUNZ. In 2023 this work was included in a collection of works by NZ women composers called 21×21 beneath the trees.
