Description:
This is a setting of the poem ‘Because of the child’ by Fiona Farrell, written for Gillian Whitehead to set, and for it to be sung at a meeting outside the Dunedin museum to launch Sir Alan Mark’s ‘Wise response’ movement, which proposes that government parties work together to address our overwhelming climate change issues. (The ‘blue hats’ on the houses in the texts refer to the tarpaulins that covered many houses after the Christchurch earthquakes.)
