Waitemata Reverie is a substantial single movement work for solo classical guitar by New Zealand composer Bruce Paine.
The work was inspired in part by Bruce’s memories and many experiences of his home city harbour and beaches. Auckland’s Waitemata harbour is noted for it’s sparkling water, islands and sheltered bays. The composition is also a tribute to New Zealand service men and women who left the shores of NZ by steam ship in the war years of the 20th century.
The composition and its premiere recording were timed for the 100th anniversary of the WW1 armistice signing on November the 11th 2018.
