about

Like most of the couples on tour, Kate and Matt were close, so it was natural that their pieces be similar - Kate's has a joyous, relaxed swing vibe reflecting her buoyant and confident personality, and her wonderful way with children.

I came up with the theme for Kate's piece while walking on the Camino trail in Spain. The walking pace was fairly intense, with little time to sit down and write - I had to keep it in my head. Kate's cheery personality is balanced by her fearlessness and inner strength, which is why the word 'fiery' made its way into the piece, although I wrote it so that the tenors would sing it hesitantly while hiding behind the other parts.

lyrics

Kate, Kate
You are our sunshine, you are our joy
You bring happiness to every girl and boy
Oh Kate, you’re a gem (Yes we really need you)
Your conversations are great (Love that laugh)
Tasty food we’ll feed you, ‘cos you’re our wonderful, talented
Bass recorder manager
Red-haired, passionate, fiery alto Kate
Smile and be happy, and if you’re down
You know Kate will cheer you up when she’s around

about

Gawain Davey Melbourne, Australia

Music to appreciate and savour.
A slower, softer sound spectrum... quirky, thoughtful words... restless melodies on a lush bed of changing harmony...
Darkness and light mingle.
Gawain writes classical music and contemporary songs.
