He Poroporoaki ("A Farewell") was co-composed by Gareth Farr & Richard Nunns for the 2008 Dawn Service Commemoration at Gallipoli, Turkey.

Since 2006, a Turkish, Australian, or New Zealand composer has been invited to contribute a work leading up to the 100th anniversary of the landings at Gallipoli in 2015. He Poroporoaki is the third work in this Spirit of Place series of commissions, which seeks to create an ambiance before the period of silence at the Dawn Services at the commemoration site.
