Composers Note - Treasure Chest
I was commissioned by the Canberra International Music Festival in 2016 to write a work for childrens chorus. The concert was a Mothers Day event, sponsored by a couple of local boutique chocolatiers, so the works on the program were all chocolate and coffee themed, including J S Bachs Coffee Cantata and a bunch of songs from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The festivals Artistic Director Roland Peelman asked me if I could write a new piece on this theme.
So I got thinking about chocolate and about Mothers Day and about how when youre a little kid and have no earnings, you still give your mum a present for her special day (that is, your dad pays for it and you sign the card!). And if its chocolate, you might give her your favourite chocolate instead of hers, and all you are really waiting for is for her to offer you one. When I was a child, I always used to think of chocolate boxes as treasure chests, full of shining precious things only consumed on very special occasions. Because they were such a rarity, you really had to savour each sweet taste and gooey texture. I m sure from this song, youll be able to tell that I am a big sweet tooth!
