Publication deadlines mean that this editorial has been written before the Annual General Meeting of the Music Broadcasting Society of NSW on 28 October. At that time, Janine Burrus will step down as a Director, having completed the maximum four-year term. For the past two years, Janine has led the station as Chair of the Board and the other Directors would like to take this opportunity to thank Janine for her leadership and service. Faced with difficult financial and organisational challenges, we have indeed been most fortunate to have had a Chair with the passion, energy and commitment of Janine.

Janine symbolises the strength of Fine Music: the devotion and loyalty of the 300 or so volunteers, supported by our team of five dedicated staff members, who keep the organisation running, on air 24/7, and, indeed, expanding. Volunteer numbers are at record levels and no less than 30% of our volunteers have been with us for more than 10 years: an extraordinary statistic and a feature of the station much commented on by visitors. At the other end of the spectrum, it is especially encouraging to know how many of the young people, who have come through our doors on work experience and intern programs, stay on as volunteers.

Speaking of young people, it is the turn of Fine Music this year to host the National Finals of the Young Virtuoso Award. This will be held at the Alastair Mackerras Auditorium, Sydney Grammar School, College St. on Sunday 26 November at 2pm. We will be represented by NSW State winner, pianist Jennifer Hou, who played brilliantly in the State Finals, which you may have heard broadcast live from our Founders’ Studio in August. Tickets for the National Finals cost $20 and are available from the station by calling 9439 4777. Do come along and cheer Jennifer on, hopefully, to the first prize of $10,000 and to the career opportunities which will follow!

A VIEW INTO MAN’S SOUL NICKY GLUCH SEARCHES IN BARTÓK, BACH AND BRAHMS

John Relyea. Image credit Shirley Suarez A man and his new wife, very much in love, travel together to the man’s home. The woman has not been there before and on her arrival she is met by mystery. Why are all the doors shut? Why is light not allowed to enter the abode? “Husband”, she says, “for the love I have for you, will you open the doors?” “No”, he replies. “For the love I have for you I beg you not to pry.” The wife hears him but finds she cannot obey. The secrets are too great, the mystery too large for her to let it be. She begins to open the doors. The first six reveal great but ominous wonders. Light is now flooding the house and her husband begs her to stop. Has she not seen enough? However, the wife persists and opens the seventh door …

”

Bluebeard is ‘a deeply withdrawn, dark, closedin soul … ever enigmatic and elusive

”

This synopsis is the beginning of the tale of Duke Bluebeard’s castle stripped to its realistic core. As a dark fairytale it has layers of possible interpretation, from simple magic to insightful allegory. This, alone, explains why Béla Bartók’s one-act opera 2

November 2017

fineMusic 102.5

is so popular a century after it was written.

To an opera director or conductor or, in this case, a singer, it is ripe with possibilities. In November it will be performed by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in a concert alongside works by Bach and Brahms. In the title role will be Canadian baritone, John Relyea, a man whose personal interpretation is enlightening for a contemporary audience.

The problem which so many people have with fairytales in the modern world is the way in which female and male characters are positioned. Taken literally, Bluebeard can be quite ominous. Although the Hungarian version is far less gruesome than the original French, it is still very much the woman who suffers for her curiosity. The man may be far from pure but in the end it is he who is unscathed.

To Relyea, however, the story is far more allegorical. Indeed, having studied the text in detail, he finds it hard to see it any other way. He describes how ‘The Castle’, with its locked doors, ‘would represent Bluebeard’s soul’ which “… offers up the notion that all men’s souls are like this. The deepest, darkest secrets will be hidden, as though behind

locked doors. Those who wish to be intimately close to this soul will seek to open the doors, professing to accept all secrets in the name of love, to mixed results …”

This, then, is a very different notion and perhaps one which doesn’t receive enough attention. It implies that men, too, have complex emotions, secrets and mysteries which are perhaps unattended in their roles as hero or dashing prince. Indeed the Oscar winning film, Manchester by the Sea, was so powerful because it engaged with the psyche of men. Audiences watched on as Lee Chandler (Casey Affleck), a contemporary Bluebeard, battled with his demons. Slowly, suspensefully they came to know the reason for his pain. Even though his secret was so awful, they could not help but feel sympathy.

He was a fool, perhaps, but a man full of love; a man who, when forced to open the doors of his castle, went quite mad.

Relyea characterises Bluebeard in a not dissimilar light. To him he is, “… a deeply withdrawn, dark, closed-in soul. He is ever enigmatic and elusive”. Relyea describes Judith, Bluebeard’s new wife, as “…

desperately trying to get him to reveal his secrets. As she pushes for more, he resists.

Bluebeard is nearly unmovable, even ghostlike, whereas Judith is much more present, visceral, desperate, and human.” Judith, as Woman, is permissibly emotional. Bluebeard, guarded Man, has not been allowed to be so.

It will be fascinating to see how Relyea approaches the role (opposite Michelle DeYoung as Judith). With a clear interest in Bluebeard’s psychology, he believes the opera has equal impact whether presented on the concert stage or in the opera theatre. To him, ‘the music and words cast a vivid picture and drama’, a focus which can sometimes be obscured by sets and costumes.

”

The oboe … weeps and weaves and sings its own song of earthly contentment

”

What a concert setting also opens up is sympathetic programming. Conductor David Robertson has chosen pieces which not only complement the Bartók sonically, but ideologically. Bach’s Cantata, Ich habe genug, is truly plaintive. In its original form (there is an alternative for soprano) Bach conceived the vocal part for a bass voice (performed here

by Andrew Foster-Williams) with the obbligato (solo melodic) instrument, an oboe.

This pairing conveys a unique story. The voice perhaps represents the biblical character of Simeon, the ‘just and devout’ man who received baby Jesus at the temple. Simeon had been visited by the Holy Spirit and told that he would not die until he had seen Christ. The Cantata is an extension of this idea. Simeon, having seen Jesus, professes that he has ‘had enough’ (habe genug). He is satisfied with his life on earth and is now prepared to die. This is where the oboe comes in with its unique sonority; it weeps and weaves and sings its own song of earthly contentment.

The Cantata, then, like Duke Bluebeard’s castle, allows a view into Man’s soul. In this context it is the body which is suffering and the soul which is free when, graced by God, it accepts death. The religious perspective provides a fascinating counterpoint to Bartók’s earthly one and yet both works allow for an exploration of masculine emotion.

Almost bridging these two worlds is Brahms’ Alto rhapsody. The work is rarely performed in concert because of the required forces, but it is understandably oft recorded. The staging of Duke Bluebeard’s castle provides an opportunity to present the work with a

chorus already in the theatre and a mezzo-soprano at the ready. Brahms wrote the work as a wedding gift for the Schumanns’ daughter, Julie. His own unrequited love aside, the theme of (spiritual) love is thus explained and the female voice singing a male text is wonderfully marital (in the traditional sense). Goethe’s text is one of a misanthropic soul seeking help to throw off the ‘shackles of his suffering’. Thus, like the Bach, Man is pained in this world and seeks absolution but, more like the Bartók work, this man is far from pure.

So the concert casts the male soul into focus. It is a topic worth discussing in today’s world and the success of Manchester by the Sea shows that we David Robertson. Image credit Jay Fram are ready to have it. The 21st century has not been there before and on her arrival has been an important time for the empowerment of women and minorities, but it she is met by mystery. Why are all the doors is important that men, too, be freed from the shut? Why is light not allowed to enter the stereotypes of their gender. abode? Perhaps, in 2017, the man will now Perhaps this is something which will be explored in modern opera. Opera is at the heart of much debate in the arts world. How will it be funded? How do we make it relevant to modern audiences? How do we confront the ‘issues’ in the stories? Relyea, himself, is unsure where to place opera in the 21st century. He sees the art form as ‘constantly trying to redefine its identity’.

The current generation desires visual stimulation and so this ‘poses questions such as: how we can reintroduce aspects of the set, lighting, concept as to hold an even more powerful focus?’ In combination with this, audiences expect dramatic portrayals to be convincing.

“The majority of younger audiences”, Relyea explains, “do not have the patience to go with the old-fashioned ‘stand-and-deliver singer, and just listen’ operatic format.”

This might explain why Relyea investigates the texts deeply, looking for meaning and a way to connect with an identity. A unique characteristic of singers is that their instrument matures with them and thus also the identities which they portray. Relyea describes being fit for mature roles now as ‘a good feeling, as though arriving at a destination’. He explains how ‘many of these roles feature more complex, older personalities, and it is wise to approach them now, when there has been more life experience to put into them’. Having been lauded for his emotional conveyance, be it in the role of Mephistopheles or Zaccaria (in Verdi’s Nabucco), Relyea is sure to bring this same facility to Bluebeard and the Sydney stage.

A man and his new wife, very much in love, travel together to the man’s home. The woman

have answers. Perhaps he will be able to share his secrets, confessing his fears and concerns. If it does not come easily to him, perhaps music will smooth the way. John Relyea, Andrew Foster-Williams and David Robertson are three men who know this secret. Every night that they perform, they bare their souls to receptive audiences. Listen, for who knows what one may learn.

CHARLES KOECHLIN: A COLOURFUL COMPOSER MELISSA EVANS CELEBRATES HIS 150TH ANNIVERSARY of his birth, Fine Music is celebrating his enduring contributions to French music.

Koechlin first studied engineering, a career path preferred by his parents. However, after graduating, he entered the Paris Conservatoire in 1890 where he was taught by Massenet and Fauré. He went on to orchestrate Fauré’s suite Pelléas et Mélisande and, after graduating, began to write, teach and compose music.

Debussy and Ravel often come to mind when thinking of French music of the 19th and early 20th centuries, but there is another less well-known composer who worked amongst them. Charles Koechlin was a celebrated and influential composer, as well as a teacher and musical author. He was born in Paris on 27 November 1867 and, on the 150th anniversary

Koechlin’s eclectic compositional style incorporated many different elements, notably his use of polytonality and atonality. His style has been described as ‘uncomplicated but colourful’ and ‘mildly impressionistic’, such as in his Jungle Book symphonic poems, collectively titled Le livre de la jungle. The four symphonic poems, based on Rudyard Kipling’s celebrated novel, The Jungle Book (1894), are La loi de la jungle (1934), Les bandar-log, (1939-1940), La méditation de Purun Bhagat, (1936) and La course de printemps (1911-1927). These polyphonic compositions feature many-textured instruments which helped to create Koechlin’s distinguishing colourful sound.

In the 1930s, Koechlin developed a fascination

with Hollywood cinema after watching the 1930 German film, The Blue Angel. He became fixated upon a number of film stars and his Seven stars symphony, composed in 1933, embodies his passion for many of his beloved stars. The first of the symphony’s seven movements is dedicated to Douglas Fairbanks, and the following movements to Lilian Harvey, Greta Garbo, Clara Bow, Marlene Dietrich, Emil Jannings and Charlie Chaplin. He later composed other pieces dedicated to these stars.

Koechlin was also greatly influenced by Bach, as evident in his 1942 composition Offrande musicale sur le nom de bach which translates as Musical offering on the name of bach. His passion also extended to medieval music, stereoscopic photography, travel and socialism and he was a political radical for most of his life.

When Koechlin died in 1950, he left behind a legacy of influential compositions and we will be listening to some of these as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of his birth on Saturday 25 November at 3pm.

BLESSED CECILIA

DEREK PARKER IN PRAISE OF MUSIC’S PATRON SAINT Blessed Cecilia, appear in visions, To all musicians, appear and inspire: Translated Daughter, come down and startle Composing mortals with immortal fire.

W.H. Auden’s verse, set so beautifully by Benjamin Britten, is perhaps the best of modern memorials to the Patron Saint of Music. There are earlier poetic tributes, for example by John Dryden, whose ‘the trumpet’s loud clangor’, ‘the sharp violins’ and ‘the sacred organ’ were so vividly set by Handel.

The associations between saints and their dominions are often odd. How, for instance, did Saint Drogo become the Patron Saint of Unattractive People? Why should we particularly invoke Saint Polycarp of Smyrna when we have dysentery or earache? Why should Saint Cecilia, in particular, inspire musicians and composers?

That seems to have happened when her Acts of Martyrdom were published in the fifth century. It was said that she played divine music on the organ during her wedding, while ‘singing her heart out’. Before 1400 Chaucer told her story in The Second Nun’s Tale of The

Canterbury Tales, and in 1517 she was commemorated by Raphael in one of his most beautiful paintings (painted for her chapel in a church in Bologna) which shows her holding a portable organ and listening to a choir of angels, a collection of musical instruments spread at her feet.

Almost nothing is known about this third century noble Roman except that she was martyred for her Christian faith, sentenced to be suffocated in her bathroom (don’t ask), and when her throat was slashed, sang merrily for three days before dying!

In 1599, the church in which she had been buried was rebuilt and it is said that for a few remarkable seconds, the men who broke into her tomb saw her body, complete and uncorrupted until it disintegrated on contact with the air. However, the tomb contained no musical instruments and nothing to associate her with music.

In 1570, the first music festival in her honour was held at Évreux in Normandy and, when the Academy of Music was founded in Rome in 1584, she was made patroness. The news spread remarkably swiftly though Christendom

that she should be venerated as patroness of music in general, with the organ as her attribute. Five centuries later it will surely do no harm if ‘composing mortals’ keep her in mind as they hope for inspiration.

Saint Cecilia’s feast day is celebrated in the Latin Catholic, Eastern Catholic, Anglican and Eastern Orthodox churches on 22 November.

On that day listen at 1pm to works dedicated to music’s patron saint.

SHAKESPEARE’S FALSTAFF IN MUSIC PAUL COOKE TRACES HIS HISTORY La stessa, la stessissima, formed the basis for piano variations by Beethoven.

Otto Nicolai’s The merry wives of Windsor was one of the most successful of all operas in the first half of the 19th century despite competition from Rossini, Bellini and Donizetti. It premiered in Berlin in March 1849 and is still performed, especially in Germanspeaking countries, but it is fair to say that its success was eclipsed by the next significant retelling of the Falstaff story.

Falstaff is a ‘braggart soldier’, a type of figure who first appeared in Roman comedies; one who talks a lot but whose deeds are mostly confined to words. In Shakespeare’s hands he is a great comic figure but he is much more than that: he is a schemer, a corrupter, a philosopher, a friend, a spendthrift and, in The Merry Wives, a would-be seducer of married women for purely mercenary reasons.

Perhaps most significantly, he is a survivor, someone who clings to life and refuses to risk it in the name of honour.

Giuseppe Verdi was nearly 80 when his Falstaff was premiered at La Scala in Milan in February 1893. His previous attempt to write an opera buffa, half a century earlier, had not been successful and it was with some secrecy and, with the encouragement of his librettist Arrigo Boito, that he tackled the subject. Boito did not only rely for his source material on The Merry Wives of Windsor, one of Shakespeare’s lesser plays, but took at least eight passages from the more substantial Henry IV plays, most notably Falstaff’s famous soliloquy about honour. Verdi responded by writing a constantly shifting score which highlights both Falstaff’s comic exuberance and his awareness of his mortality. Bryn Terfel, who has performed the role frequently, interpreting Falstaff as a noble and graceful knight who is nevertheless past his prime, has said: “The role of Falstaff came out of the mould of the classic baritone roles; Verdi gave us mortals (bass-baritones) a chance to sing his notes. It doesn’t go above the stave very often, the lines aren’t too daunting. I think the role is beautifully paced”.

Antonio Salieri’s Falstaff or The three jokes (Falstaff is fooled three times) is one of the earliest operas based on this story and probably the only one composed in the 18th century which is still performed. Its plot and structure show the influence of contemporary opera buffa and of Mozart’s The marriage of Figaro which was being revived at the time. Salieri’s opera premiered in Vienna in January 1799 and ran for a creditable 24 performances. A duettino from the opera,

Verdi’s Falstaff is regarded as the apotheosis of Falstaff compositions, but there have been a few significant works in the 20th century by English composers. Given Shakespeare’s literary importance in England, it is surprising that they had not tackled Falstaff before. The first, premiered in 1913, was a ‘symphonic study’ by Elgar, essentially a symphonic poem in the tradition of Liszt and Richard Strauss.

Elgar thought that it was his best orchestral piece and, based entirely upon the character

Falstaff sings once only, and briefly at that, in Shakespeare’s Henry IV Part I, and not at all in the other plays in which he appears, Henry IV Part II and The Merry Wives of Windsor.

He is vain, corpulent and cowardly yet Falstaff has been pictured in music more than a few times over the last couple of centuries. What is it about him that has made him a popular subject?

of the history plays, depicted Falstaff as ‘a goodly, portly man, of a cheerful look, a pleasing eye and a most noble carriage’ and contrasted his adaptability with the cruelty and inflexibility which has come to characterise Prince Hal. Gustav Holst’s one-act opera, At the Boar’s Head, followed in 1925 with Holst writing his own libretto. The work grew out of his attempt to find traditional folk tunes (mostly from John Playford’s The English dancing master) which would fit speeches set in the tavern where Falstaff and Prince Hal caroused.

While the play, The Merry Wives of Windsor, was perhaps a spin-off from the Henry IV plays, it was a chance for Shakespeare to revisit a popular character. Similarly, Ralph Vaughan Williams intended his Sir John in love, premiered in 1929, to be a sequel to Holst’s opera. Interweaving folk and Tudor music with his own original, more sophisticated music, Vaughan Williams presented a Falstaff who could stand with Verdi’s as a complex and sympathetic character: one to be pitied for his weakness but admired for his capacity for living life to the full.

In the end, Falstaff dies in poverty, rejected by his Prince, now King Henry V, mourned only by those friends who played jokes on him in Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor and Salieri’s Falstaff. His death is portrayed

by William Walton in his music for the 1944 film of Henry V directed by Laurence Olivier: Walton composed a Passacaglia for strings alone which highlights in its simplicity both the nobility of Falstaff and the suffering of individuals in wartime.

Salieri’s opera Falstaff will be broadcast in At the Opera on Wednesday 22 November at 8pm.

RECOGNITION FOR FINE MUSIC specifically appreciated and recognised by the North Sydney community. They all spend many hours, often beyond ‘the call of duty’, ensuring the efficient operation of their areas of expertise thus enabling, in a very large way, the smooth running of the radio station.

Our Fine Music radio station has been recognised as a Community Group of the Year by the North Sydney federal electorate.

The citation states that it is in recognition for ‘helping to make our local area a better place’.

Not only does Fine Music make North Sydney ‘a better place’ but it makes many other areas a ‘better place’ and, we believe that, because of internet streaming, it is making ‘a better place’ for many music lovers outside of Sydney and throughout the world.

In addition to this award to the radio station, four of our key volunteers who live in the North Sydney federal electorate have been recognised for their service to the community: Jacqui Axford, Receptionist Coordinator and former Director; Chris Blower, Chair of the Programming Committee, Program Guide Coordinator and programmer; Maureen

Meers, programmer, presenter, presenter trainer and former Director; Sue Ping Kee, Librarian and Chair of the Library Committee.

However, they are not alone as there are so many other volunteers, from all over Sydney and even as far as the Central Coast, Newcastle, Penrith and other distant areas, who contribute many hours of voluntary work to Fine Music. There are Fine Music volunteers who work at the station late at night, in the early morning and even in the ‘wee small hours’ while some spend many hours working from home. Often Fine Music volunteers work in the background without recognition. This recognition for the radio station means that all volunteers can take pride in their work which brings so much joy to so many people.

A presentation event was held on 15 September at the North Sydney Leagues Club where our honoured volunteers were given their certificates by Trent Zimmerman, MP for North Sydney. The group photo shows (L-R) Maureen Meers, Janine Burrus (Chair of the Board of Directors), Chris Blower, Sue Ping Kee, David James (Director and one of the Founders of Fine Music) and Rebecca Beare (Station Manager). David is holding the award for Jacqui Axford who was unable to attend. Janine is also seen with Trent Zimmerman.

GILBERT AND GUSTAV

RANDOLPH MAGRI-OVEREND’S RECOLLECTIONS

I can’t remember exactly when I first heard Mahler’s Second Symphony. It was some time in the early 1980s when I was then very enthralled by another major work of Mahler, Das Lied von der Erde and, in particular, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau’s rendition of Der Abschied. In fact, I was driving a cab at the time and I kept playing a cassette recording of the movement over and over. A few passengers liked it, most were indifferent and some commented on it, unfavourably!

One passenger who encouraged me was a lawyer I used to drive from Seaforth to the city on a daily basis and he suggested I listen to Mahler’s Second Symphony. I forgot about it until I was asked to write an article on Leonard Bernstein and I went hunting for a comprehensive list of his recordings. I came across his recording of the Second with the London Symphony Orchestra and with Sheila Armstrong and Janet Baker as the soloists. I was not impressed.

Gradually, as I began to read about this exceptional symphony, I realised that I was missing out on one of music’s major innovative works and so I began to scour the record shops for as many recordings as I could find. I found all of the great conductors in the world had participated and the energy which they generated in those recordings was truly amazing. Simon Rattle admitted in one recording that when he first heard the Second Symphony, it inspired him to take up conducting; Leonard Bernstein said that whenever he conducted Mahler he felt as if he were writing the score himself. I even have a recording of Simone Young conducting the Hamburg Philharmonic (Mahler’s alma mater), but I had to go overseas for that!

Then we come to the American, Gilbert Edmund Kaplan, an amateur conductor who died in 2016 aged 74. He started life as an economist and branched off into publishing an investor magazine which he sold for around $75 million in 1984. He loved Mahler’s Second Symphony so much that in 1981 he asked to be taught how to conduct it. This led to his renting (the then) Avery Fisher Hall at the Lincoln Center in 1982 and conducting the work with the American Symphony and the Westminster Symphonic Choir. Thereafter Kaplan conducted over 100 live performances of this work around the world.

Kaplan released two albums of himself conducting the symphony. The first was in 1996 with the London Symphony Orchestra and the second in 2003 with the Vienna Philharmonic.

Both were funded by the Kaplan Foundation of New York so it is plausible that they were financed by Kaplan himself. Still it is no mean feat to stand in front of a vast orchestra and commit to posterity your impressions of this massive work.

The 1996 recording is interesting. It is a 2-CD album which includes Kaplan conducting the Adagietto from Mahler’s Symphony no 5 (which Mahler composed as a musical love letter) and Mahler himself conducting the first movement of the Fifth Symphony and the last movement of the Fourth. It also includes a section where musicians who had an association with Mahler recall what he was like when he was conducting, his behaviour during rehearsals plus the personal memories of his daughter, Anna. In addition there is a facsimile of the opening of each movement from the original score and a reproduction of

the complete 1897 edition of the score plus more than 100 letters by Mahler about how he composed the symphony and his association with it.

Also of interest to historians is a CD-ROM which opens with a five-year-old Gustav being terrified (or so we’re told) of having his picture taken. Only after the photographer took his own picture did Mahler allow his picture to be taken. He insisted on being photographed holding a sheet of music, a portent of the future!

The collection of 151 images, paintings and drawings spans the years 1865 until Mahler’s death in 1911. The pictures trace his student days and his years at Budapest, Hamburg and Vienna where he conducted at the Court Opera for the best part of ten years. They also include his voyage to New York, his years at the Metropolitan Opera and his final years as musical director of the New York Philharmonic.

The response to Kaplan’s interpretation of Mahler’s Second Symphony varies. A reviewer wrote of him: “Every gesture had purpose and impact”. One orchestra player’s perspective isn’t as charitable: “His continued appearances are also an affront to all real conductors who have toiled relentlessly for the recognition they duly deserve”. Not very flattering when you realise that Gilbert Kaplan never charged for his times on the podium!

We are unable to bring you a recording of Kaplan’s interpretation but we can listen to another fine performance of Mahler’s Symphony no 2 in C minor, known as the Resurrection on Thursday 30 November at 2pm.

A decade previously she had become the first woman to be appointed Professor of Piano at the Paris Conservatoire and held the position for 30 years. She was paid significantly less than her male counterparts but successfully argued for equal pay after the triumphant premiere of her Nonet in 1850.

Her compositions were highly praised by Schumann and Berlioz.

WHAT IS NOSTALGIA? MAUREEN MEERS DISCOVERS ITS ORIGIN not published in his lifetime.

Nostalgia’s definition has dramatically changed over time and where for centuries, consistent with its Greek roots, it was considered a debilitating and sometimes fatal medical condition, the modern view considers that it is an independent and positive emotion felt by many people who experience it often.

Vera Lynn If you love listening to nostalgic music on Fine Music, and you belong to an older age group, you are more than likely to fit the demographic which your children and grandchildren consider definitely ‘not cool’. When you start reminiscing about the music you heard when you were young or recall the music to which you danced as a teenager, for them it is the equivalent of a foreign language.

So what is nostalgia and how did it evolve?

The word itself comes from a Greek compound consisting of nostos, meaning homecoming and algos meaning ‘pain’ or ‘ache’. The term was coined by Johannes Hofer (1669-1752) in his Basel dissertation. Hofer introduced nostalgia or mal du pays (homesickness) for a condition also known as mal du Suisse (Swiss illness) due to the frequency of this condition in the Swiss mercenaries pining in the lowlands of France and Italy for their native mountain landscapes. On a lighter note, the military physicians were thinking that it was caused by damage to the victims’ brain cells and ear drums by the constant clanging of cow bells in the Swiss pastures!

English ‘homesickness’ is what is called a loan translation of the word ‘nostalgia’. During the first voyage by Captain Cook, the word was used by Sir Joseph Banks in his journal on 3 September 1770 to describe the sailors on board the Endeavour as being ‘pretty far gone with the longing for home which the physicians have gone so far as to esteem a disease under the name of Nostalgia’. This journal was

Nostalgia is triggered by something which reminds an individual of things past: personalities, events, music and memories, perhaps of ‘a warm childhood’ or ‘the good old days’. The emotion resulting can vary from sorrow to happiness. More commonly used is the term ‘feeling nostalgic’ which can describe pleasurable emotions which are associated with a longing to go back to a particular period of time. Hearing an old song, not heard for some time, often represents a precious moment and gives the listener a sense of nostalgia for the music played on a special occasion.

Fine Music listeners are true connoisseurs when it comes to listening to classical music.

However, when our program In a Sentimental Mood is broadcast, there is always constant surprise at the number of listeners who phone to request music from their past which puts them into a sentimental mood as they travel back in time to earlier days. This includes music such as the following: Music from the UK: Gracie Fields, George Formby, Vera Lynn, Harry Roy, Jack Hylton, Ray Noble, not forgetting the music hall entertainers, Arthur Askey, Charlie Chaplin, Sydney Chaplin, et al;

Indeed it is not just the In a Sentimental Mood program which evokes nostalgia, our classical, jazz and other specialised genres often take listeners on nostalgia trips down memory lanes.

All the memories of those times stay with us for the rest of our lives. I remember very well being at a concert performance of Carl Orff’s Carmina burana in London when the tenor collapsed on stage. A young man in the audience rushed on stage and took the tenor’s place in the line of formally dressed soloists (he in jeans and tee shirt) and came in on cue, much to the surprise of the soprano. Why did that memory stay with me? It was because it was so very special that the performance of this wonderful work continued and did not disrupt the audience’s pleasure when the artists were confronted with such an emergency.

As I researched this article, I became more and more fascinated with the origins of the word ‘nostalgia’ and the history of its evolution.

I hope that it has opened doors for you as it has done for me. When, after reading this, you have a dose of nostalgia, then you know that you can always find the right medication for your malady on your Fine Music station in whichever musical genre may be your favourite.

In a Sentimental Mood is broadcast on Fine Music 102.5 each month on the second and fourth Saturdays at 1pm; on DAB+ every Sunday at 6pm.

From the USA: Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Ella Fitzgerald, Jane Froman, Perry Como and others from those times; Music from the operettas of earlier days: The merry widow, Orpheus in the Underworld, Naughty Marietta, Die Fledermaus, The gypsy baron, Countess Maritza, etc.; Broadway and stage musicals and movie musical soundtracks: The sound of music, Lady be good, Oklahoma, Carousel, Annie get your gun, Kiss me Kate; one could go on and on for a long, long time.

Jazz CD Reviews BLUEBERRY ASH Andrew Butt Trio + Independent

✶✶✶✶ Blueberry Ash is predominantly an album of original compositions by saxophonist Andrew Butt. Pleasingly it contains one added gem, the tune Love song from Apache written by David Raskin and Johnny Mercer, a rarely recorded tune which was a favourite of the great Coleman Hawkins, whose rendition on his album Today and now is a true masterpiece in jazz history, and may have inspired Andrew Butt to want to include it here.

He certainly does it justice; and so he should.

On this outing he is accompanied by the stylish guitar work of Toby Wren, whose solo on I love boiled eggs is a standout, and the brilliant pianism and extended soloing of Kellee Green on all tracks, where her flowing lines and colourful chords seem to be as natural as breathing.

DREAMER OR FIERY CREATIVE FORCE? ELAINE SIVERSEN ANSWERS THE QUESTION in Schumann’s short life, it was written for, and dedicated to, his friend the renowned violinist Joseph Joachim. The concerto is less poetic and passionate in style than his early masterpieces. Although the violin’s role is extremely taxing, its subordination to a ‘symphonic’ scheme is emphasised by the fact that there is no cadenza. Joachim never performed the concerto in public. After playing it through for Schumann with the Hanover Court Orchestra in October 1853, Joachim suspected that the concerto was a product of Schumann’s madness which soon became evident after this performance when Schumann attempted suicide in early 1854. Joachim retained the manuscript and it was not published or performed until it was rediscovered 80 years after Schumann’s death. Because of his friend’s attempted suicide and confinement in a mental asylum, Joachim thought of the music as morbid.

The question has been asked about Robert Schumann: was he a lyrical dreamer or a fiery creative force? A contemporary said that Schumann ‘loved to dream with the pedal down’. The works of his first creative period range from whimsical to a boldness of rhythm with frequent dissonant harmonies and clashing sonorities. This period was devoted solely to the piano with masterpieces such as Papillons, Davidsbündlertänze, Carnaval, Fantasiestücke, Kinderszenen and Études symphoniques.

Schumann’s youthful exuberance gradually gave way to a sense of responsibility to music which, in his day, seemed to be regarded merely as entertainment. His ideal was that he and his friends would unite against the ‘philistines’ who prostituted this noble art of music and, in his ever-fanciful mind, he created the Davidsbündler (or David’s Band).

Two characters of this imaginary group were Florestan and Eusebius who represented the two opposing natures of Schumann: Florestan, the active side, and Eusebius, the reflective.

They appear in some of his compositions such as Carnaval.

After founding and editing a musical journal, Schumann was a severe critic of anything mediocre, calling some pretty piano pieces and some Italian operas ‘butterfly-dust’. He said: “The critic who dares not attack what is bad is but a half-hearted supporter of what is good”.

He often pointed out that the first duty of a critic was to encourage the artist and facilitate

an understanding between him and the public.

He championed talented composers such as Chopin and Brahms, as well as others who would not have been recognised without his efforts.

In 1840, he wrote to his fiancée Clara Wieck, after composing the song cycle Myrthen (Myrtles), which includes the glorious Widmung (Dedication): “While I was composing them I was quite lost in thoughts of you. If I was not engaged to such a girl, I could not write such music”. This was the ‘year of the song’ which also produced the cycles Dichterliebe (Poet’s love) and Frauenliebe und –leben (A woman’s love and life).

With the experience of marriage and children, the music of the impetuous dreamer deepened and matured. Schumann turned to the symphony and other orchestral works and later to chamber and choral music.

His orchestral writing had many limitations and his only concerto for piano has been reorchestrated by other composers. Yet it remains one of the masterpieces of the genre.

His symphonies, concert overtures and other orchestral works have a freshness and an exuberance of ideas which surmount any lack of experience in writing for the orchestra.

What then can we make of the circumstances surrounding Schumann’s only Violin Concerto which was unknown until 80 years after his death? Despite that, it is one of his most significant works. Composed in 1853, late

Schumann suffered bouts of depression for many years, but his happy home life, and Clara’s loving and intellectual support, probably delayed his inevitable collapse.

By his early 30s, his creative powers were waning. He was unable to concentrate enough to teach and, by the 1850s, he didn’t have the strength to conduct. It is a sad reflection on what was once a brilliant and creative mind.

Despite Robert Schumann’s decline and his unhappy fate in ending his days in a mental asylum, he had an essentially happy life because of his great devotion to the cause of music and the support of his wife and their enjoyment of their family. Ernest Newman wrote: “Few critics have written so lovingly of loveable things. There is pure ecstasy in his best talk about Schubert or Bach or Beethoven that thrills us even now”. One of Schumann’s great joys was to discover in Vienna the manuscript of Schubert’s C major Symphony and to hear a performance of it conducted by his friend, Felix Mendelssohn.

Schumann was one of the most original composers of the Romantic era. His music was characterised by ‘heaven-soaring melodies’, clashing harmonies and impetuous rhythms.

He was, to the end, both dreamer and fiery creative force.

100 YEARS OF RECORDED JAZZ MUSIC BARRY O’SULLIVAN QUESTIONS THE FUTURE Now on the anniversary, a century later in 2017, jazz records sell the least in a time of poor sales across all genres of music, and attendances at events are down worldwide.

Perhaps this is indicative of an ageing listenership, slow to adapt to new technologies and hesitant to venture out at night to see their idols perform? As more and more traditional record stores go out of business, it’s becoming harder for these veteran stalwarts of the genre to access new releases, while the few ‘digital natives’ who actively listen to jazz are clearly finding it difficult to carry the numbers. It’s not a strong argument for this anniversary to remain terribly relevant!

It may be difficult to believe but it was four white guys who changed recorded jazz music forever. The question in 2017 is: Where to now?

One hundred years on, we ask where did the advent of jazz recording lead? Eventually to staggering numbers: since 1917, 230,000 recording sessions have produced nearly 1.5 million jazz recordings. The evolving technology transformed the local into the national and the international, enabling this music to go global.

On 30 January 1917, four guys called the Original Dixieland Jass Band went into Columbia’s studio in New York. Note the spelling which was soon to evolve into the Jazz word. The company didn’t like the results and the recordings were never released. Columbia had missed the chance to be the first company to commercially release a jazz record.

So it was the Victor label which recorded the Original Dixieland Jass Band on 26 February 1917, playing two tunes, Dixie Jass Band one step and Livery stable blues. Jazz records were born on that day in the Victor Talking Machine Company studio on the 12th floor of 46, West 38th Street, New York. The music played that day wasn’t being played by the inventors of jazz, nor was the studio capturing jazz’s best exponents of the time, but it was making history. The Original Dixieland Jass Band’s social-cultural importance surpassed its recorded music quality and it introduced the word ‘jazz’ to many people.

Besides conquering space and time, the recording of jazz a century ago created new sources of income for performers, composers, arrangers and the music industry, and it created fans. Previously only a few hundred people could take in the sounds of jazz in a live performance. Through sheet music, piano rolls and especially phonograph recordings, jazz entered the parlours and living rooms of average people, undergoing a transformation from a localised style of music-making into a budding and controversial national phenomenon. Dance halls, radio programs, jazz concerts and festivals were born and they thrived.

As well it led directly to the invention of discography: the systematic ordering of information about recordings. It facilitated formal jazz education in colleges and universities. It helped generate a codified standard repertoire and a jazz canon.

It sparked periodic revivals of earlier styles and it enabled a sense of its own, recordingbased history.

This genre of music’s success deeply influenced a generation of young musicians inspiring them to record profusely. The most successful jazz recording artists of all, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong became household names who would go on to revolutionise jazz and change American music forever. They became renowned masters of the jazz recording idiom and attracted large audiences wherever they played.

Some have tried to explain away jazz’s continuing decline in the rankings by citing the fact that popular crossover albums like American jazz pianist and hip hop producer Robert Glasper’s Black Radio and Black Radio 2 are rarely classified as jazz. The album won Best R&B Album at the 55th Grammy Awards and also received a nomination for Best R&B Performance but it reached #1 on Billboard’s Jazz Album Chart: so Hello!!?

Revenues from sales of jazz music digital tracks and albums declined in 2016 faster than in any previous year. However there’s a small beacon of light in jazz music’s recording horizon with the primary driving growth being a slightly increased upward trend in listening to on-demand streaming, sound exchanges and paid subscriptions, plus limited tier subscriptions. In 2015, music genre fans listened to hundreds of billions of audio and video music streams through on-demand adsupported digital services like YouTube and Spotify. The growth of streaming music and the prevalence of digital platforms show that music consumption is higher than ever which is great for jazz fans but not so great for the recording artists and music creators who see very little of the huge profits. Revenues from such services have been embarrassingly meagre for the artists and music creators.

Ho-hum!

Those four guys from The Dixieland Jass Band must be rolling in their graves in disbelief at what has happened to jazz music recording after that fateful day 100 years ago.

The music of five of the all-time greats in jazz recording, Miles Davis, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald will be featured in Barry’s program A Jazz Hour on Friday 10 November at 12 noon.

YOUNG VIRTUOSO AWARD

CHLOE CHUNG REPORTS ON THE 2017 NSW STATE FINALS were drawn from three Sydney Eisteddfod events: the Opera Scholarship (Jessica Harper, Imogen-Faith Malfitano), NSW Doctors Orchestra Instrumental Scholarship (Rachel Thompson, Jamie McCarthy) and the John Allison Piano Scholarship (Jennifer Hou, Enrico-Sergio Mainas). Before the broadcast, there was an opportunity to chat with the contestants which revealed the excitement which comes with each performance.

Jennifer Hou Performing on radio in the Young Virtuoso NSW State Finals was a first experience for Jennifer Hou, a music and law student at UNSW who balances her university workload with daily piano practice, teaching and accompaniment work. Before her performance, she said: “I’m treating it like a live performance, and hoping for the best! This experience will be really valuable in learning to perform under this pressure, and listening back to how I played.

This will no doubt teach me how to tackle recording situations in the future!”

For this competition, held in the Founders’ Studio at Fine Music on 27 August, six finalists

Singer, Jessica Harper, said: “I’m so grateful to be performing today with Bradley Gilchrist … It comes down to the way he breathes with you and the piano during a performance. I always feel so supported by Brad and that makes an enormous difference”.

It was a thrilling afternoon of live broadcasts from the six finalists, each of whom performed a 15-minute program of their choice with at least two contrasting pieces. The adjudicating panel comprised Luke Spicer, Clemens Leske and Narelle Yeo, with Camille Mercep anchoring the program.

Pianist Jennifer Hou was awarded first place.

She played the first movement from Ross Edwards’ Piano sonata as well as Chopin’s Ballade no 1, op 23. The second prizewinner,

Jessica Harper, sang some of her favourite repertoire: Wolf’s Kennst du das Land and Ah je suis seule … Dis moi que je suis belle, from Massenet’s Thaïs. Clarinettist, Rachel Thompson, captured the most audience votes, taking out the People’s Choice prize. Jennifer Hou intends to use the first prize money of $3000 to help support her piano lessons and to go overseas to partake in masterclasses or summer schools. She will go on to compete in the National Finals to be held in November.

At the conclusion of an exhilarating day for all performers, accompanying artists and volunteers, the announcement of conductor Toby Thatcher’s new role as the Fine Music Emerging Artists Patron was exciting news for the Young Virtuoso Award Competition which has been supporting young aspiring musicians and singers for over 30 years.

The 2017 Young Virtuoso Award National Finals will be held in the Alastair Mackerras Theatre at Sydney Grammar School and broadcast live on Fine Music on Sunday 26 November at 2pm.

FEWER VIOLINS

MICHAEL MORTON-EVANS REVEALS BUREAUCRATIC STRATEGY The staff of this section should be drastically cut. If a larger volume of sound is required, it could be obtained by means of electronic apparatus.

The following document has fallen into my hands. It was written, I am led to believe, by a British public servant delegated to see if continuing government subsidy of orchestras was viable after a visit to a symphony concert at the Royal Festival Hall in London:

“Much effort was absorbed in the playing of demi-semi quavers; this seems to be an unnecessary refinement. It is recommended that all notes should be rounded up to the nearest semi-quaver. If this were done it would be possible to use trainees and lower-grade operatives more extensively.

“It quickly came to my notice that, for considerable periods, the four oboe players had nothing to do. The number should be reduced and the work spread more evenly over the whole of the concert, thus eliminating peaks of activity.

“There seems to be too much repetition of some musical passages. Scores should be drastically pruned. No useful purpose is served by repeating on the horns a passage which has already been handled by the strings. It is estimated that if all redundant passages were eliminated, the whole concert time of two hours could be reduced to 20 minutes and there would be no need for an interval.

“All of the 12 violins were playing identical notes; this seems unnecessary duplication.

“It was noted that the pianist was not only carrying out most of his work by two-handed

operation, but was also using both feet for pedal operations. Nevertheless, there were excessive reaches for some notes on the piano and it is possible that the redesign of the keyboard to bring all notes within the normal working area would be of advantage to the operator. In many cases the operators were using one hand for holding the instrument, whereas the use of a fixture would have rendered the idle hand available for other work.

“Obsolescence of equipment is another matter into which it is suggested further investigation could be made, as it was reputed in the programme that the leading violinist’s instrument was already several hundred years old. If normal depreciations schedules had been applied, the value of this instrument should have been reduced to zero and it is possible that purchase of more modern equipment could have been considered.”

BIG BANDS, BANKS AND CDS SUE JOWELL TALKS TO PHILLIP McGARN As a young schoolboy Phillip was taught the recorder and later the tenor horn, but when he became a teenager, peer group pressure played its part with the inevitable domination of rock ‘n’ roll. Live performances were a big attraction but, as was the custom in those days, he began collecting LPs and hanging around the radio.

Then, something new made its way into his musical consciousness. “It was probably in the late 1960s,” he recalls, “that, while listening to the Monkees (America’s answer to the Beatles, remember?), I also began listening to The Nutcracker ballet!” He retains his eclectic taste to this day, evidenced by the fact that, even though his favourite composer is Dvorák, his favourite piece of music is The lark ascending

by Vaughan Williams.

Some of Phillip McGarn’s earliest memories while growing up in the St George area of Sydney were of his parents dancing to the big band sound, listening to the voice of Frank Sinatra and attending the Tivoli Theatre whenever a show came to town.

Although Phillip spent most of his working life in the banking world, music remained an essential element of his off-duty hours. Just as his parents had visited the Tivoli, Phillip attends events at the many venues around Sydney. He especially enjoys going to the

magnificent State Theatre and the City Recital Hall. Above all, for the last ten years, he has been an avid listener to Fine Music, so much so that he is a lifetime Friend (financial supporter) of the station.

Three years ago, it was time to retire. “I thought that I should spend some part of my leisure time giving back to the community,” he says, “and assisting Fine Music seemed a good way to start.” The team spirit at Fine Music means a lot to Phillip. “I have always enjoyed working as part of a group to get the job done.”

As he prefers to work behind the scenes, the library is the perfect place for him. “I especially enjoy the ‘tidying up’ process: filing CDs, correcting errors in the catalogue, checking program information and, above all, listening to music while I work!” An added advantage is spending time with those who share his love of music. Colleagues Sue Ping Kee and Anne Wiseman reciprocate his sentiments but, in addition, they love his sense of humour!
