This heart-felt piece was composed at the close of the Second World War. The sub-heading reads: "The young pine-tree at Diamond Harbour [on Banks Peninsula] dreams of a forest giant in the North." The arch-shaped opening motif represents the pine, while Tāne Mahuta (New Zealand's famously large kauri tree) speaks in the restorative, deep-rooted response; the smell of sweet pine seems to waft restoratively.
