Pukerangiora: From 11
Hymns. Pukerangiora
‘the Hill of the Healing Heavens’ is the name of the site of St Peter’s
Cathedral, Hamilton. The Archbishop, David Moxon hummed the tune of a
hymn for me to identify; after much searching we realised that it was
no hymn but the Sanctus from
Schubert’s “German Mass”. So I wrote a Cathedral hymn to the
tune, which is dedicated to him as the source of the inspiration. Please press the red title to
hear a MIDI recording of this tune, and then re-open this window to
read the poem while listening. If you would prefer to follow the tune and text on paper you may download a PDF file of this hymn. For permission to perform or
reproduce this poem, or for enquiries regarding the purchase of 'Hymns For All
Seasons', please contact
