Description:
This work was written by Gillian Whitehead in the shadow of both the East Timor crisis and the death of John Mansfield Thomson, who had been a good friend and mentor for many years. These events modified both the original formal ideas and the detail of the piece, hence the title:

Taurangi
1. a. unsettled, changing, changeable
2. incomplete, unsatisfied, unfulfilled
3. v.t. grieve for
4. n. wanderer
 — Williams A Dictionary of the Māori Language

Taurangi is dedicated to the memory of John Mansfield Thomson.
