== Program Notes ==
Hikoi (’journey’) was commissioned by [[Evelyn Glennie]] and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. After the premiere performances in New Zealand, the work was later heard in a concert as part of the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.

=== Review ===
The resulting 40-minute piece is, in my opinion, the most accomplished of [[Gareth Farr]]’s large scale pieces, and the first I’ve heard for some time that does not sound hasty in its gestation. It is a most imposing work, full of contrast. The wild, Polynesian drumming is in evidence as always, but so, too, is a contemplative lyricism, always part of the [[Gareth Farr]] makeup, but here properly formed and resolved. The marriage of violin and marimba in the central section of the work is beautifully made. <ref> John Button, The Dominion Post, September 2000 </ref>
