EDITOR’S DESK
It’s only once in every dozen years or so that Australians get the chance to hear the Choir of King’s College Cambridge perform live, and this is one of those years. Musica Viva is bringing the choir, led by Stephen Cleobury, to Australian and they’ll be gracing Sydney on 21 and 26 July. As well as traditional choral music, the choir will perform works that Cleobury commissioned from three Australian composers including the greatly admired Peter Sculthorpe. Barry Walmsley talks with Cleobury about the balance between ancient traditions (the choir was founded by King Henry the VI in 1441) and his passion for including latter-day music. Acclaimed world-wide, classical guitarist Karin Schaupp is also a devotee of Peter Sculthorpe’s music and his work, along with that of other leading Australian composers, features in her new Mosaic CD – it’s a landmark recording, being the first album of exclusively Australian guitar concertos. She’s quite understandably proud of the release and gives us some insights on this project, and music more generally in our interview on page 7. In contrast to the household name composers, author Stephen Pleskun, who recently published the fourth and final Volume of his mammoth work, A Chronological History of Australian Composers and their Compositions, has been writing some great stories for FMM on the “forgotten” composers. This month he presents a poignant and entertaining story about Arthur Gullidge - a Salvation Army Band and Australian Army Band leader in World War II. Doffing his cap to “Living Composers”, Nev Dorrington previews a new series coming up on air in the New Horizons program which puts a spotlight on the works of composers such as Harold Budd, Vangelis, Arvo Pärt, Philip Glass and Lisa Gerrard. More on page 13. Among the concerts in town this month, the Australian Chamber Orchestra performs Piano Quintets with guest pianist Paavali Jumppanen. Lauded by the New York Times for his “immense power and extraordinary range of colours” our writer, Henry Mendelson tells us more about the popular Finn who has been here on a handful of occasions since 2004. There’s plenty on stages around town to delight the senses, including Opera Australia’s winter season which is in full swing… more on that in our What’s On pages. Happy reading!

While working as a part-time actor at the Australian Opera, I started taking singing lessons from Kevin Mills, an ex-Sun Aria winner and AO singer. For a few months he struggled vainly to teach me how to sing tenor arias. It wasn’t until later I discovered what the problem was - I was a natural baritone! Finally, in a fit of desperation he referred me to someone at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music called Russell (sorry I forget his surname). Russell, unfortunately, was having personal problems. So off he went on a much needed holiday and left me in what turned out to be the capable hands (and fingers) of a young student who was about to sit her final musical exams. She couldn’t have been more than 23 at the time. It soon became obvious that my young repetiteur wasn’t flush with money, so whenever possible I’d slip her the odd complimentary ticket to an opera where she and her equally financially-embarrassed husband (he was a French teacher at Riverview College) could live it up. Most of our lessons took place at the conservatorium but when bureaucracy intervened and practice rooms were unavailable, we’d retire to the couple’s Lavender Bay flat with its 2cm view of the Harbour Bridge. I had found another vocal teacher by then - the late Gordon Wilcock, then one of the principal tenors at the Australian Opera. But my young lass stayed on as coach and though I was spending more money than I’d ever hope to recoup as a singer, I was quite content with the arrangement. I even entered the Sydney Eisteddfod with my young repetiteur as accompanist. I couldn’t afford the extra money to hire her, so we agreed to split whatever winnings we made. There were none! When Gordon decided to form a new musical company, I was the first to volunteer. Gordon also coerced two of his AO colleagues to help out. Greg Yurisich, now in charge of a musical college in his native Perth, Western Australia became musical director and Stuart Maunder, now a freelance producer/director, agreed to direct. The company became known as the Lane Cove Light Opera and its first production was the Gilbert and Sullivan double-bill of HMS Pinafore and Trial by Jury. I appeared in the latter. When the conductors were chosen, Vince Collaguiri, another final-year student from the conservatorium, was selected for Trial and I suggested my young protégé for Pinafore. And that is how, on Wednesday 20th April 1983, Simone Young raised a musical baton for the first time. - Randolph Magri-Overend

AUSTRALIAN CHAMBER ORCHESTRA’S FINNISH FARE It may be drawing a long bow that Paavali Jumppanen’s birthplace, Espoo in Finland is coincidentally the headquarters city of that country’s legendary Nokia brand of mobile phones which, to function efficiently needs nimble fingers, just as do those of an internationally acclaimed pianist. Highly regarded for performances of “immense power and an extraordinary range of colours” (New York Times), the youthful 40 year old is the scheduled associate of a distinctively Finnish flavoured Australian Chamber Orchestra’s Australian “Piano Quintets” tour in July. Other members of the ensemble to be joined by Jumppanen in a series of chamber performances are fellow Finns, Satu Vänskä (violin) and Timo-Veikko Valve (cello) and other ACO regulars, Rebecca Chan (violin) and Christopher Moore (viola). No newcomer to Australia, Jumppanen who the Boston Globe described as possessing “a rare wedding of intellectual penetration, colouristic imagination, and sheer virtuoso firepower”, fronted the Melbourne and West Australian symphony orchestras in 2004 as soloist in a well received Bartok Piano Concerto No. 3 “with clarity and enthusiasm”, according to Melbourne’s The Age. He has also performed extensively in Europe and Japan, with, among others, the Oslo Philharmonic, Stuttgart Philharmonic and the BBC symphony orchestras. His numerous festival appearances include Finland’s Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival and the French Messiaen Festival (his repertoire includes Messiaen’s large cycle for solo piano, Vingt Regards Sur l’Enfant Jésus) and La Roque d’Anthéron Piano Festival.
hailed it “the best recorded disc of Boulez’s piano music so far.” Having worked with Boulez since the early 2000s, Jumppanen has become a leading ambassador for his music. It is, he says, Boulez’s brand of extroversion and intelligent control that draws him to the composer. While equally in demand for the concert stage and the chamber ensembles of the world, Jumppanen admitted that the recital hall is by far his favourite, “The closer proximity of your audience, and the more personal atmosphere of the chamber music environment is more exciting”. That said, he was quick to point out that each performance format has its own attractions and suggested that young up and coming pianists should not shun one for the other. “It is most important for success on the musical stage, whatever form it may take, for young musicians to demonstrate enthusiasm for their chosen path and not only work hard but to enjoy working hard”. In recent years, Jumppanen has dedicated much of his time to exploring music of the Viennese Classical period, and has frequently performed the complete Beethoven Piano Sonata cycle. Following one of his Beethoven recitals, the Boston Globe reported that “the sheer, overflowing energy of his musicianship held one’s attention throughout this impressive performance and the result was a bracing and enjoyable reminder of how pathbreaking Beethoven’s music is.” Jumppanen has also recently completed a multi-year project of recording the Sonata cycle, the first part of the recording has only
recently released. His performances provide an indication of the demand in which he finds himself year in, year out, such as - 201314 season guest appearances with the Lahti Symphony Orchestra performing the five Piano Concertos by Beethoven, the Helsinki and Turku Philharmonic orchestras in Finland and a by-demand return to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston to begin a two-year project focusing on works by Schumann and Stockhausen. In addition, recitals in Germany, Switzerland, France, Italy and Japan feature in his itineraries. Born in 1974, Jumppanen began piano lessons at the age of five at the Espoo Music Institute. In 1992 he entered the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki and from 1997 to 2000 studied with Krystian Zimerman at the Basel Music Academy in Switzerland where, not content with piano mastery, he also studied the organ, fortepiano, and clavichord. It is a mark of the man that, in addition to his institutional studies he acknowledges Russian born pianist Konstantin Bogino as having been an important mentor throughout his studies and career. The ACO’s audiences will undoubtedly savour the benefit of this multi-segmented background. - Henry Mendelson The Australian Chamber Orchestra “Piano Quintets” Australian Tour 10-23 July. Sydney concerts - Friday 11, Saturday 12, Tuesday 15 and Wednesday 16 July
Adding to his quartet of Australian visits since 2004, Jumppanen appeared in Melbourne late last year for the Australian National Academy of Music where he performed Mozart’s Piano Sonata for Four Hands with one of the Academy’s students and then played and conducted the No.2 Piano Concerto by Beethoven. Next year he takes on the role of artistic director for the PianoEspoo Festival, the most prominent international piano festival in his native Finland. As part of an astonishingly wide repertoire, he frequently performs the classics of the avant-garde as well as contemporary works and regularly commissions works from Finnish composers. His recording of the complete Piano Sonatas by Frenchman Pierre Boulez earned the praise of London’s Guardian, which

THE KING’S CHOIR TRADITIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY
Whilst he and the choristers of this worldfamous choir sing daily in the beautiful chapel of King’s College at Cambridge (a splendid example of late Gothic architecture which goes back to the 15th century), surrounded by some of the finest medieval stained glass in the world, Cleobury is determined that the choir will not remain couched in the past. Although the choir was formed under the patronage of King Henry VI, the purpose being to sing the daily services in the chapel, the choir today has a world-wide reputation as being at the forefront of choral performance, with a recording output in the dozens, numerous overseas tours, as well as performances in London and elsewhere in the UK.
new repertoire by “..singing living composers
“
As director, Cleobury has seen enormous change. Adhering for the most part to its traditional tenents, Cleobury, himself is responsible for much of this shift, most notably to the singing of new repertoire by living composers.
have followed him are, Thomas Adés, Judith Bingham, James Macmillan and John Rutter, to name but a few.
“
Performing works of Sculthorpe, Vine and Dean…
“I have commissioned new music every year since 1983, mostly, for understandable reasons, composers in the UK, but I’ve also looked abroad. So, we’ve added to contributions from America, Finland, Estonia, and this year from Switzerland, but importantly we’ve had as many as three Australian composers which we are performing on the forthcoming tour.” The three - Peter Sculthorpe, Carl Vine and Brett Dean - as well as being celebrated locally, are very well known in Europe and in the UK. “I see it (these three Australian composers) as part of that tradition, and what they have written for us here, fits in very well with the ethos of music that a choir like King’s is used to singing. That’s not to say that they are not highly original works, and each one is highly distinctive.” Carl Vine wrote the carol for the 2012 service, Ring Out, Wild Bells, based on a setting of Tennyson’s poem. For Vine, the poem “inventively encapsulates the core Christian
“When I came to King’s in 1982, one of the very big tasks that lay before me was the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, which is probably the occasion in the year when we’re heard by a large number of people across the world. This, of course, is a very traditional event, but in my opinion it is important to nourish it with new music, so that it doesn’t become a museum piece,” said Cleobury. Indeed, the choir’s worldwide reputation hinged to a large extent on the annual broadcast of this very Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols (heard by tens of millions of people). “That’s the same for our regular day-to-day repertoire for our chapel service. But I thought that our Christmas Eve service around the world was a good shop-window, to present newly commissioned works.” The first composer to be commissioned was Lennox Berkeley, and amongst those who 4

Combining the old with the new, the traditional with the contemporary in music is no mean feat. But for Stephen Cleobury, Director of Music of the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge, this is an essential element of remaining at the forefront of choral singing in an ever-changing world.

principles of community, generosity and kindness”. The commission for the Festival in 2007 went to Brett Dean and his composition, Now Comes the Dawn, uses a poem by Richard Watson Gilder. Peter Sculthorpe’s The Birthday of Thy King was the first Australian carol to be commissioned and included in the famous Festival. Dating back to the late 1980s, the carol commission came about simply because Cleobury was very fond of another Sculthorpe carol, Morning Song for the Christ Child, and he felt he would really love another piece by the iconic Australian composer. Cleobury is proud of the fact that he has enacted change and endured the storm of controversy over the introduction of new (or modern) pieces to the choir’s repertoire. “When I started doing this annual commission, I used to get quite critical letters from people who said, ‘What are you doing ruining this great tradition with horrible modern music?’ “But in fact, that has died down very much now. I don’t get that sort of letter anymore. I think people have got used to the idea that there is going to be a new commission and it’s
got to the point now where people say to me ‘Who is writing the carol for this year?’” Cleobury says that it has been quite a rewarding journey and although he received some pressure in the early days from publishers, things have changed even there. Nowadays, as the tradition of the annual commission has become better known, publishers will write in with suggestions, but Cleobury doesn’t work through a list of most famous contemporary composers for his commissions. “I’ve done this in a more personal and interesting way, on the basis of some contact with a particular composer I’ve had. Years ago, I met Judith Weir at a Christmas party; I met Harrison Birtwhistle at the Royal Albert Hall while we were waiting for a Promenade concert to start. There’s been all kinds of different ways in which I’ve come across different composers.
From singing at the Chapel of King’s College, Cambridge to such renowned concert venues as the Royal Albert Hall in London, and the Sydney Opera House, the choir must manage carefully the variances of hall, and even performing in front of a concert audience. The choir’s sixteen boy choristers, aged between nine and thirteen years, fourteen male undergraduates, and two organ scholars, have become quite adept at touring. Noting that there are real differences between singing in the Chapel for a service, where the purpose is for the music to elevate the liturgy, and the concert platform, where the choir sings directly to an audience, Cleobury claims he doesn’t make massive changes when singing in a new venue, but rather reacts sensitively to the acoustical spaces he encounters.
“
“…a very stern discipline..
“I like to think we don’t have to change very much, because it is perfectly true that the Chapel acoustic at King’s is a very distinctive one, with its four to five second reverberation, but I work very hard on a daily basis to make sure that that doesn’t make us lazy. “It is a very stern discipline in one sense, because if you send out into the building a sound that is not well blended or tuned, then you have to hear that sound for the next

four seconds or so. Precisely because there is this resonance, it can be tempting to let the building do too much for you, and not give your singing the energy and specifically the sostenuto that it needs.”
of the finest “ …a feast choral music
“
“In the case of Carl Vine, I met him through the Musica Viva connection. I haven’t met Peter Sculthorpe, but before I arrived at King’s, I became very fond of a particular carol and simply wanted another one from him. Brett Dean’s daughter actually studied in Cambridge, so that was part of the connection there.”
On contemplating his two concerts in Sydney (one in the Opera House Concert Hall, the other at City Recital Hall, Angel Place), he gives some good advice for any choir director - “There are two things I keep telling the choir when I get into a concert venue: if it is a really big venue, such as the Opera House, you mustn’t think that you have to sing two or three times more loudly to fill the space. You lose all sorts of things, like blend and quality. We do quite a number of concerts in the Royal Albert Hall in London, and the truth is that soft singing carries rather well in that acoustic. The second point is to make sure you are singing a sostenuto line as there is no King’s College acoustic to carry if you are not.” There are two programs on offer in Sydney. A mixture of early English and Italian pieces sit alongside nineteenth and twentieth century English works, and in one concert, Fauré’s timeless and touching Requiem, accompanied by the College’s Organ Scholar. Along with the three Australian works, program 1 includes Hear My Words, Ye People (Parry), Sing Joyfully(Byrd), Dum Complerentur (Palestrina),
Hymn to St Cecilia, Op 27 (Britten) and Requiem in D minor, Op 48 (Fauré). The second program presents an intimate number of works from early music through to the modern Australian works: Sing Joyfully (Byrd), Dum Complerentur (Palestrina), Jehova, Quam Multi Sunt Hostes Mei, Z135, and I Was Glad When They Said Unto Me, Z19 (Purcell), Cantate Domino Canticum Novum, SV292 and Claudio Adoramus te, Christe, SV293 (Monteverdi), A Song of Wisdom, and A Song of Peace from Six Hymns, Op 113 (Stanford), and Hymn to St Cecilia, Op 27 (Britten). On this Australian tour, the choir and Dr Cleobury are not only presenting a feast of the finest choral music, but also nurturing a tradition which has been inherited from the fifteenth century, all the while straddling the twentieth century with the inclusion of music of the present day. - Barry Walmsley The Choir of King’s College, Cambridge Monday 21 July 7pm, City Recital Hall Angel Place Saturday 26 July 2pm, Sydney Opera House Concert Hall Bookings - www.musicaviva.com.au Box Office - 1800 688 482 For full Australian tour dates visit the Musica Viva website July 2014

KARIN SCHAUPP A MOSAIC OF AUSTRALIAN GUITAR Internationally acclaimed classical guitarist, Karin Schaupp has just released her Mosaic CD - the first recorded album of Australian guitar concertos. The disc includes work from leading composers including Peter Sculthorpe, Ross Edwards and Peter Charlton. Schaupp, who has recently been awarded a prestigious Music Fellowship from the Australia Council for the Arts, talks about the album and her music. A dream come true… Mosaic is a dream come true for me in the sense that I had recorded all of these concertos separately (spanning all the way back to 1993) and I had always hoped that they would eventually end up on the one disc together. Now, thanks to ABC Classics they have! This is the first CD of Australian guitar concertos ever produced so I feel very privileged and proud to present this collection of wonderful works. Guitar music today… The guitar is in a very strong place, perhaps stronger than it has ever been historically. In the last 100 years or so, thanks to advances in guitar building and the emergence of star concert performers, it has (finally) become recognised as a serious concert instrument, thus attracting leading composers who are not themselves guitarists to write for the instrument. Three of the four concertos on this disc are by non-guitarists who also happen to be some of Australia’s leading composers and all of them have gone on to write many more wonderful works for the guitar.
People who influence my music are… ..all the wonderful people I collaborate with, who teach me so much and inspire me creatively. Throughout my life, my mother (who was also my teacher and recently often also my producer) was a huge influence and I am still mourning her death late last year. She was often my harshest critic, but her wisdom will remain with me forever. My husband Giac is a wonderful musician (though he no longer pursues music professionally these days) and he is always very honest with me when he hears me practising at home! Music was always my destiny… I cannot remember a time when I wasn’t expecting to become a musician, and specifically, a guitarist. I was very ambitious academically at school so my teachers were perhaps surprised that I chose to follow through with becoming a professional musician, but I could never imagine myself doing anything else. I did play the flute as a child and later the cello very briefly, but more for fun than for replacing my close connection to the guitar. Acting is my other great love, though I came to it much later and I only ever intended to do it in connection with, or perhaps as an extension of, my music making. I feel intuitively that it will somehow always play a part in my career, perhaps not in every performance, but certainly I see myself working on or dreaming up projects which allow me to work in both art forms. Experiencing first hand how beautifully the two art forms complement and “deepen”
each other on stage was quite intoxicating and I don’t feel I could ever leave that behind completely. This is not to say that I don’t love going on stage “just” to play the guitar, but somehow acting, or more broadly, using words (as I include narration in this rather loose description) will always be there as a part of my creative output. Evolving… Like all artists I guess my music making has evolved as a function of my life experiences. Big life events change us in a way that we cannot anticipate and inevitably our experiences, our insights and our emotional and spiritual journey become a part of our expressive output. I also feel that my experience and study of acting has had a huge impact on my communicative ability on the musical stage. Magical moments… They are the moments when I feel completely free, when I soar above any limitations or expectations I may have placed on myself and time stands still, placing me in complete communion with the audience. Some of these experiences have been in big “career” moments and others, for me just as memorable, have been in unexpected little venues , the country church in Germany, the town hall in country NSW, where magic happened so completely and beautifully that at that moment it felt as though nothing else existed. As an artist.. ...self-doubt is crippling, but I think self reflection and self critique are invaluable, particularly in maintaining the music and technical discipline required to play completely freely. I have always been very ambitious with very clear goals and expectations of myself artistically, but underneath all that, I am driven by a deep love for what I do and by following my heart and my instincts. Born in Hofheim am Taunus, Germany, to a musical family, Karin Schaupp’s mother and principal teacher, Isolde Schaupp, was a teacher of guitar at the Conservatorium of Wiesbaden. Her father was an amateur pianist, and her aunt and grandmother were opera singers. Her family migrated from Germany to Australia when she was eight. Schaupp resides in Brisbane with husband Giac, her two children Alexa, five, and Raphael, two, and their three rescue dogs.

Flashback with Derek Parker LYRICISTS AND POETS
from Hart’s Ten Cents a Dance nor Porter’s Love for Sale, but they explore the same theme with the identical sympathy, wit and identification with their subject. Then there are Porter’s Every Time We Say Goodbye and So In Love, and his mastery of the catalogue song: You’re the Top and Let’s Do It for instance. After Hart’s death Rodgers teamed up with Oscar Hammerstein, and virtually became another composer, his songs lyrics warmed by Hammerstein’s less metropolitan style. Hammerstein mentored Stephen Sondheim, who cut his teeth writing the lyrics for “West Side Story” and in Gee, Officer Krupke showed his metal from the start: Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart - 1936
A few weeks ago Kevin Jones, one of Fine Music’s most knowledgeable jazz presenters, contributed to the extremely interesting series of talks given by some of the station’s volunteers over the past six months. He chose to talk about the Great American Songbook, and very properly spent some time considering the lyric-writers whose contributions to the Songbook are quite as important as the melodies they matched. One of them, the lyricist Gene Lees, Kevin said, “maintained that the finest song lyrics could stand up to the best poetry in any language. He was adamant that the greatest song lyrics of all were written by Mitchell Parish for ‘Stardust’ especially the opening verse: ‘And now the purple dusk of twilight time, Steals across the meadows of my heart, High up in the sky the little stars climb Always reminding me that we’re apart . . .’ “Lees called it the single greatest lyric in the English language: ‘You can look at all the greatest poetry in the English language and nothing lives up to this, not Shakespeare, nothing.’” Well, yes and no: nobody would claim that it’s not a fine lyric, fitting the music like a glove; but try to read it as a poem and you’re in trouble right away, with the melody forcing Parish into the dreadful clumsiness of the last line: fine with the music, horrific without it. But it’s probably a mistake to think of lyrics as “poetry” as we understand the word - not just because they don’t dive into the metaphysical depths explored by John Donne or explore the human condition with such magical, intuitive
understanding as Wordsworth, Keats, Milton, but because they are inevitably the close companions, even servants, of the tunes to which they are wedded. Never mind; the best lyricists have still provided unforgettable lyrics that weld themselves to the memory a great deal more firmly than opera librettos. Who remembers with acute pleasure the lyrics of opera – certainly in English translation? But who can forget the words of My Funny Valentine or Just My Bill? Inevitably, the first name that everyone brings up when talking about lyric-writing is that of Lorenz Hart, who, with Richard Rodgers, wrote more wonderful songs than most of us have had dry martinis. Hart was to a degree sentimental, but knew the map of the human heart like a seasoned traveller, and read it for us in unforgettable language. If he wasn’t a poet in every sense but the formal one, I’m not sure who ever was; ingeniously witty, he was in command of every trick of prosody the cleverest versifier might possess. Sometimes he was perhaps a touch too clever (Stephen Sondheim certainly accuses him of this); but the sly rhymes and other trickeries are captivating: in Manhattan for instance, his rhymes are magical - and then he ices the cake: “The great big city’s a wondrous toy/Just made for a girl and boy” in the first stanza becoming “The city’s clamour can never spoil/The dreams of a boy and goil” in the last. Cole Porter wrote his own lyrics (couldn’t believe, he said, it needed more than one man to write a good musical). He was as sardonic and sharp as Hart, and at their best they marched side by side. I haven’t space to quote
My father is a bastard, My ma’s an S.O.B. My grandpa’s always plastered, My grandma pushes tea. My sister wears a mustache, My brother wears a dress. Goodness gracious, that’s why I’m a mess! Sondheim, I’d say, is the only match for the great lyricists of the Songbook years. I’d send doubters to the lyrics of “Follies” - especially Losing My Mind - or any of the numbers in “A Little Night Music”. Don Black has written useful lyrics for Andrew Lloyd Webber (especially “Tell Me On A Sunday”), but who else is there? Of course modern singer-songwriters are a different breed: on the whole, the music is king, and really intriguing (even literate?) lyrics are the exception. People speak of the great lyrics of Freddie Mercury: a great performer, no question; but his lyrics? Hey love can play with your emotions Open invitation to your heart Hey love kills Play with your emotions Open invitation to your heart (to your heart) Love kills (love kills), hey hey, love kills (love kills) Love kills kills kills kills Love can play with your emotions, open invitation. I rest my case. - Derek Parker Fine Music’s - Enjoy, Learn, Discuss talks take place monthly on Sundays at 2.30pm at the Fine Music studios.

FORGOTTEN AUSTRALIAN COMPOSERS
ARTHUR GULLIDGE
beliefs precluded him from violence and killing so he reasoned that to volunteer as a bandsman would be the best course. He and 15 other members of his band were inducted at the Victoria Street Drill Hall on 15th July, 1940 and posted to the newly formed 2/22nd Infantry Battalion to undergo six months training at Trawool. Besides performing music, the bandsmen were instructed to administer first aid when required and to act as stretcher bearers should the need arise.
William Arthur Gullidge, born at Broken Hill in NSW on 9th April, 1909 was such a man but he was also a composer. His day job was as a compositor at a printing concern in Melbourne. In 1933 he became bandmaster of the Brunswick Citadel Salvation Army Band and won 1st prize of 30 pounds in the brass band category of the ABC Composition Competition. Two years later he won a prize of 25 pounds and 5 shillings for his The Spell of Venus for military band. In the same year he and fiancée Mavis Ellen Anderson were married at the Northcote Church of Christ and they made their home at 508 Albert Street in East Melbourne. Arthur and 28 members of his band arrived in Adelaide by express train on 26th December, 1936 to participate in that city’s centenary celebrations by playing in numerous suburban citadels. Their schedule was quite demanding: on 3rd January they performed at Unley in the morning, Kent Town in the afternoon, outside Government House at 6 pm before marching along King William Street at 6.30 to give a concert at Congress Hall at 7. In 1938, Arthur and his band of 36 members, supplemented by 23 choristers, travelled by bus to Echuca where they performed at four
locations during 24th and 25th December. They proceeded to Junee in NSW in stifling heat with frequent stoppages because of an overheating radiator. When they arrived just after midnight, the mayor ordered that the swimming pool be opened for them to refresh themselves before retiring for the night.
precluded him from “...beliefs violence and killing...
“
One of the peculiar features about Australian townships, urban and rural, is the prevalence of citadels (these days usually referred to as gazebos). The ones I have noticed are still in good repair so the local councils are keeping them well maintained, but I have to delve into my boyhood memories to remember that years ago, on Sunday afternoons, uniformed musicians with brass instruments would arrange themselves within the citadel and perform a concert conducted by their bandmaster who was often the arranger of the music.
At the Clifford Street Citadel in Goulburn on 27th December, Arthur’s Gems of the Classics was well received. The following morning the musicians drove to Sydney where they performed at the Petersham Town Hall in the evening, at the NSW State Conservatorium on 31st December and at the Botanic Gardens the next day. Ten months after the outbreak of World War 2, Arthur became concerned that conscription may be introduced. His strongly held Salvation Army
was taken prisoner “Arthur along with civilian and military personnel.
“
Band and drums of the 2/22nd Battalion Band (B/M Arthur Gullidge), AIF taken at Trawool (Australia) camp, 1940 prior to departing for Rabaul, Papua New Guinea.
Arthur made well regarded arrangements of the Australian national anthem and a medley from The Wizard of Oz for the band to play during the battalion’s march past in Melbourne on 14th February, 1941 before they were despatched to Rabaul in New Britain.
Things became grim when Japan entered the war. The defences at Rabaul were woefully inadequate and the Australian government had no plans for evacuation. The Japanese attack on 23rd January did not take long to overcome and disperse resistance. Arthur, who was in hospital with an infected tropical ulcer, was taken prisoner along with most of the other civilian and military personnel. All were treated harshly in the days that followed. The Japanese transferred Rabaul to civil administration on 10th March and to mark the occasion insisted Arthur’s band perform at the Regent Theatre. Arthur ensured sick and wounded Australians were seconded into the band so they could receive more rations. To boost morale he arranged jazzed up versions of God Save the King, Advance Australia Fair, Waltzing Matilda, and Rule Britannia amongst others. The Japanese were none the wiser for it. A year later, with the Pacific war beginning to turn, the Japanese decided to transfer all prisoners of war to Hainan. Eight-hundred and forty-five military and 208 civilians (including Arthur and his band) were crammed aboard the Montevideo Maru. North of the Philippines the vessel was struck by a torpedo from the United States Navy submarine USS Sturgeon. It foundered quickly and all Australians perished. The news of the disaster was withheld from all relatives until after the war. In memory of the composer of Blue Blood, Heroic Deeds, Oodnadatta and Southern Australia the Arthur Gullidge Award is presented nowadays to the top apprentice at the Australian Defence Force School of Music. - Stephen Pleskun July 2014

Young Virtuosi THE ALUMNI
This month’s broadcasts are dedicated to some of the many musicians and singers who have passed through the doors of Fine Music as aspiring professionals competing in our youth awards. Alison Zhou, a member of the station’s youth volunteer community, catches up with some of these Fine Music Alumni to find out what they are doing now. GEORGIA LOWE - HARP
Harpist Georgia Lowe was first involved in the Fine Music Young Performer Awards in 2011. Now 27, Georgia has come a long way since her humble beginnings as a primary school student learning on her school’s Salvi harp. When asked why she chose her instrument, Georgia replies, “I put it down to reading too many novels that romanticised the harp!”, and also having “an extremely supportive family - my mum believed that all of us children should learn to play an instrument.” After graduating in 2011 from the Sydney Conservatorium where she studied under Louise Johnson, Georgia is now on a scholarship at New York’s Brooklyn College where she’s completing a Masters of Music with Sivan Magen. High points of her career include being selected for the Sydney Symphony’s Sinfonia program, winning the Sydney Harp Eisteddfod’s Most Outstanding Performer 2010, and appearing on TV shows - Young Talent Time and Sunrise. After being immersed in the close-knit college community, she now hopes to soon re-enter the professional music world and continue experimenting with styles such as pop and free improvisation. 12

KENICHI MIZUSHIMA - CELLIST Kenichi ‘Kenny’ Mizushima is a regular cellist with the Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra and is currently principal cellist for the Caro String Quartet, which he co-founded in 2011. Twenty-seven, Kenny is from a musical family his father is a cello teacher and, between them, his three siblings play the cello, violin, double bass, piano, guitar and pipe organ. At 14, Kenny began studying with Zoltan Szabo, and has since won numerous eisteddfods, instrumental championships and music scholarships. After 25 years on the cello performing in nine countries, Kenny’s passion for his instrument is stronger than ever: “The cello has such depth. It can plunge into the darkest and most forlorn experiences or raise the soul to dizzying heights with its full and rich tone.” Moreover, Kenny says playing the cello has allowed him to grow and be “grounded both mentally and musically.” JONATHAN ONG - PIANO After getting to know the station through competing in youth awards, Jonathan Ong, now 29, is these days behind the microphone working as a volunteer presenter. For some 25 years now, Jonathan has been immersed in what he calls “an orchestra for 10 fingers” - the piano. His biggest inspiration he says is his father - “He taught me that in life you can go forwards, or backward - I have been pushing myself out of my comfort zone for a long time now; it’s become a life habit.” It comes as no surprise, then, that Jonathon has a list of impressive degrees to his name - a Bachelor of Music (1st class Hons) from UNSW, and a Doctorate of Musical Arts from the University of Southern California, majoring in Piano Performance. His six years of competing, studying and playing concerts in the US have allowed him to mature as a pianist, though he is quick to add: “Nothing good happens without hard work. And hand in hand with that - hard work won’t go very
far either without good guidance.” Currently, Jonathan divides his time between being a lecturer and Handbell Choir Director and Piano Tutor at UNSW, developing a piano program at East Hills Boys Technology High School, and teaching at his private studio. JAMES YOO - CELLO Eighteen years ago, then eight-year-old James Yoo was given a “spare” full-size cello by a family friend which sparked a musical career that continues to flourish. James has taken top honours in many prestigious competitions, such as the 2013 Dvorak Cello Concerto with SBS Television and Radio Orchestra, and 1st Prize in Cologne University for Music and Dance Competition in 2012. His career has also taken him to Germany, where he studied for almost five years, partaking in solo/duo cello recitals in prominent cities such as Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne and Bonn. It was in Germany that James first experienced the pressure of international competition - “There were just so many cellists who could play ‘better’ than me.” However, a love for communicating through music has inspired James to persist, and ultimately to conclude that there are more important things than striving to be the best - “Just enjoy and love what you do,” he says. - Alison Zhou YOUNG VIRTUOSO - ALUMNI BROADCASTS Wednesdays 1pm 2, 9, 16 July - Alumni 23 July - North Sydney Youth Symphony 30 July - Music at Manly Young Virtuosi Presenters : Chloe Chung, Katherine Ly, Alison Zhou.

NEW HORIZONS - THE LIVING COMPOSERS a career spanning over 50 years and over 40 albums, he is one of the most important of today’s living composers. His symphonic and choral work, Mythodea, and other classical pieces will feature in New Horizons broadcasts.
This July, the New Horizons program sees the return of long-time Fine Music presenter and programmer Nev Dorrington. In this article, Dorrington talks about his new “Living Composers” series which is dedicated to today’s music makers.
Lisa Gerrard, born in Melbourne in 1961, is an Australian musician, singer and composer who rose to prominence as part of the music group “Dead Can Dance” with music partner Brendan Perry. Gerrard has been involved in a wide range of projects including many film soundtracks, among them “Whale Rider”, “Samsara, Baraka”, “Balibo”, “Oranges and Sunshine” and “Gladiator”.
Fine Music 102.5 listeners may or may not be familiar with composers featured in the Living Composers series. The program will present works of artists such as Harold Budd, Vangelis, Bruno Sanfilippo, Arvo Pärt, Philip Glass, Lisa Gerrard, Stephan Micus, Robert Rich, George Winston, Karl Jenkins, The Renaissance Players and Roger Eno among a list of modern contemporary composers who write new and diverse music for our time. Today’s composers of course, share the same inspiration as Bach and Mozart, but with modern technology, artists now have at their fingertips a whole new set of tools with which to create music. Computers and modern editing programs, synthesizers, and electronic keyboards, with highly developed digital recording programs all add to the ease with which we make music today. The piano is common to all these artists, but they also utilise many modern instruments. Electronic keyboards have stored within them all the instruments from a complete orchestra, not to mention a full choir! Thus today’s composers can write, record and score classical pieces in the confines of their studio without having to hire a complete orchestra, and, or, choir. Whilst this may not appeal to traditionalists, new music is being produced in this way in abundance every year. Over the next six months I will be presenting works of these composers Harold Budd, born in the USA in 1936, is a composer and poet. In 1966, he graduated from the University of Southern California (having studied under Ingolf Dahl) with a degree in musical composition. As he progressed, his compositions became increasingly minimalist. Budd has developed a style of playing piano he terms “soft pedal,” which can be described as slow and sustained. While he often gets placed in the ambient category, he emphatically declares that he is not an ambient artist, and feels that he got “kidnapped” into the category.
Lisa Gerrard
His two collaborations with Brian Eno, The Plateaux of Mirror and The Pearl, established his trademark atmospheric piano style. His works total over 40 recordings. Philip Glass, born in the USA in 1937, is a prolific composer. He has written works for the musical group which he founded, the Philip Glass Ensemble (with which he still performs on keyboards), as well as operas, musical theatre, ten symphonies, eleven concertos, solo works, chamber music including string quartets and instrumental sonatas, and film scores. Three of his film scores have been nominated for Academy Awards. Glass will present his three operas, Akhnaten, Einstein on the Beach and Satyagraha at Her Majesty’s Theatre Adelaide in August. Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou, born in 1943 in Greece, is professionally known as Vangelis. He is a Greek composer of electronic, film and orchestral music. Best known for his Academy Award-winning score for the 1981 film Chariots of Fire, he also composed the scores for Antarctica, Blade Runner, 1492, and Alexander. Vangelis is a self-taught musician who began composing and performing music at the age of six. He is also a painter, and a member of the Academy of Fine Arts in Athens. In addition to working with synthesizers and other electronic instruments, Vangelis composes for and conducts orchestras. With
Arvo Pärt, born in Estonia in 1935, is a composer of classical and sacred music. Since the late 1970s, Pärt has worked in a style that employs his self-invented compositional technique, tintinnabuli. Although often identified with the school of minimalism, he rejects this label. Today Pärt is best known for his choral works which he started to produce in the 1980s, after his emigration from the former Soviet Union to Germany. His most recognised works from the 1970s are Fratres, Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten, and Tabula Rasa. His music is in part inspired by Gregorian chant and his works have been used in many movie soundtracks. Bruno Sanfilippo, born in Argentina in 1965, is a classically trained musician and composer who has been creating music for more than 20 years. His focus alternates between the exploration of minimalist piano concepts, and contemporary hybrids of acoustic and electronic music. He is obsessed with the search for new and unique qualities in music - the amazing, the magical and the deep. Sanfilippo has made soundtracks for feature films and performed live in multimedia events. Based in Spain, he has his own record label AD21 - and a prolific catalogue of recordings. - Nev Dorrington ON AIR New Horizons airs on Sunday nights at 9pm.

Mozart’s famous ‘Musical Joke’… is it funny?? It’s certainly great fun. Like in Amadeus’smaskedball scene where Mozart ridicules Salieri, the Musical Joke pokes fun at C-grade composers and performers, lambasting them in a litany of musical faux pas, woefully banal melodies, horns sounding ‘wrong’ notes, and a violin solo that takes classical cadenza cliché to new extremes! Try as he did to write ‘bad’ music, there’s still plenty of joyous Mozartian elegance in the Musical Joke – so much so, that it can actually sound like a fine piece of music. So is the joke funny? That depends how the

RIGOLETTO Now until 24 August The moment he wrote it, Verdi knew he had a hit on his hands. So much so that for the first performance of Rigoletto he rehearsed the Duke’s famous aria, ‘La donna è mobile’, in secret to avoid giving away what was to prove one of the catchiest tunes in opera.

This extremely enjoyable disc is the first from the Victorian soprano Elena Xanthoudakis, one of Australia’s finest young sopranos, who honed her talent at English National Opera and Opera North and has moved on to appear at Covent Garden, the Met and other international houses, and of course at home in Australia. She has sung in Mozart, Britten, Gluck, Stravinsky as a young artist must - but in recent years her reputation has grown as a bel canto soprano, and it is in that genre that this disc celebrates her voice, in numbers from Rossini, Bellini and Donizetti. The guiding hand of Richard Bonynge can I think be discerned in the program: two Rossini arias, for instance, are recorded in their original, pure state, and one with the now expected extraneous decorations. The choice of numbers is excellent: an aria from Don Pasquale sets the tone of sheer pleasure word is reproduced in the CD booklet, so this is as much a document for close reading (possible, given print with sharp contrast, if rather small) as it is an unusual audio experience. Or, preferably, both at the same time. Clearly writing music for subjects like these could not be justified in terms of any sense of popularity or acclaim they might have brought the composers, even if people got to hear them. That would not have been easy before this CD became available, outside the occasional recital room. Apart from anything else, the fact that the CD contains some 43 individual tracks makes life a bit difficult for anyone who may rely on building their collection today by downloading bits and pieces rather than acquiring the complete product. The latter is the only option, to have these reference copies The speed with which Tawadros composes little gems such as those found here is all the more remarkable for the matter with which his music concerns itself. Last year he gave us Chameleons of the White Shadow which was a joyous and contemplative journey. Permission to Evaporate is the perfect companion piece, not only musically but also philosophically. The opening track, Bluegrass Nikriz does not betray its title, utilising both musical styles in its namesake, and yet it is inherently Tawadros - a mature extension of White Shadow. Making full use of the all-star ensemble playing alongside him: guitarist Mike Stern, pianist Matt McMahon, bassist Christian McBride and percussionist brother James, Tawadros celebrates the energetic passion and freedom of life through cleverly virtuosic instrumental writing. One need only hear the impressively
right at the start, and choices then vary from the brilliance of a relatively unfamiliar aria in Le Comte Ory to the well-known passionate cabaletta from the sleep-walking scene in La Sonnambula. Above all, enjoyment is the word that comes persistently to mind - such numbers as Chacun le sait from La Fille de Regiment lift the heart, and while “effortless” is a word which must sometimes distress singers when it is applied to the work required to perfect all those runs and arpeggios, it is unavoidable when listening to Miss Xanthoudakis, who never gives us a moment of uneasiness. Mr Bonynge, who knows something about conducting this repertoire, guides the Royal Northern Sinfonia in a creative, supportive, never ostentatious role. Highly commended. - Derek Parker
of material such as Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird to hand, and that is where those who take their music seriously will want them. - Phil Vendy phrased high bass solo in Bluegrass Nikriz to realise that these instruments really have been given permission to evaporate. Another notable track, Nomad’s Fear, begins to deal with the opposite end of the spectrum. The piano presents slow, ambiguous harmonies and anxious, repeated notes from the oud display a poignant, if not yet fully realised, exploration of claustrophobia. Along with Space in Time, these tracks are a welcome maturation of 2013s Time as Place, featuring a degeneration of the cellular style which has been a hallmark of Tawadros’ recent work. This latest musical dissertation from Tawadros is a commentary on life - well worth listening to since it is articulated so beautifully in his compositional technique and enchanting musicianship. - Joshua McNulty
CD Reviews MSO - ADÈS Polaris / STANHOPE Piccolo Concerto Melbourne Symphony Orchestra ABC Classics 356622
✶✶✶✶ Polaris is a work by British composer Thomas Adès which provides a celestial exploration across the night sky and a translucence of creativity which captivated the live audience in Hamer Hall in Melbourne on this MSO recording. Its opening has a distinctive cascading effect until the trumpets along with the metallic percussion lead us, almost in Sibelian style, into the first of the two major climaxes of the work. His textural qualities throughout show that he is able to “spread the love” between the various sections of the GIAN SLATER - STILL STILL Which Way Music WWM020
✶✶✶✶ The voice is controlled and delicate, and goes off in sudden directions where the guitarist might also be headed to give his frets something to do, but where you might not usually expect to find a singer. In other words, unpredictability is the word for these songs and the way they are expressed, with melodic lines heading off in directions all of their own making. Gian Slater and her friends are set on closely following each and every contour of the soundscape they have defined, and it is hard to think of anyone else who does it quite this way.

orchestra without mashing the sound. This is best enjoyed whilst watching the star trails around the northern star and there are several easily accessible YouTube videos available. The second work is the Piccolo Concerto by the Australian composer Paul Stanhope. Written in two contrasting movements this is one of the very few works available which allows the piccolo to be treated as a virtuosic instrument. The first movement entitled Hymm opens slowly until a bright and happy allegro section allows the piccolo some freedom to run like a maltese terrier being let of its chain. This is quality writing and is very pleasing to the ear. There is a dark and somewhat eerie conclusion to the first movement which leaves you wanting for
more. The outstanding portion of this work is the extended soloist’s cadenza in the second movement which explores all facets of the piccolo’s possibilities. Andrew Macleod is an accomplished musician and his talents alone make this disc a worthwhile addition to any collection. - Frank Shostakovich
Judging by the press release that accompanied this particular copy of the CD, other reviewers have similarly found it difficult to be precise about the direction Ms Slater’s songs are following, yet there is something in the air they generate that exemplifies, quote, “the tiny details of life that, with love and attention to detail, can help us notice ourselves.” Which may sound a bit new-agey, but this music is more agreeable than that, and labels are not too helpful. New-agey is part of the story, but so is country, a hint of jazz, even a fine suggestion of classical, all driven by some remarkably subtle instrumentation that from moment to moment shoots off anywhere, least of all where you might expect it to go. It comes together in
its own controlled and delicate way that helps when your life could do with some comfort. - Phil Vendy
“The Romantic Violin” conjures ideas of dramatic works for violin and orchestra by titans such as Brahms, Tchaikovsky and Bruch. This CD brings to light works by composers of the same period far less familiar to the classical music audience, in a genre not usually associated with the period - solo violin. Godard’s sonatas are reminiscent of their Baroque origins, and Jones shows off his bowing force with dramatic chopping strokes, and his ease in gliding over the strings in flourishing scale passages. Contrastingly light bow work is achieved in passages needing more sensitivity. Sinding’s work is very lyrical. You can hear its Baroque origins, but the influences of Sinding’s musical contemporaries are unmistakable. Jones highlights these stylistic differences with great ease, especially in the legatissimo passages. Vecsey’s Preludio e Fuga allow Jones to demonstrate technical
dexterity, but also his extensive awareness of harmony with adept voice leading in the double stopping. In Saint-Lubin’s Fantaisie on a theme from Lucia di Lammermoor we hear very different subject matter, with the return of truly Romantic material. SaintLubin’s extensive use of double octaves and harmonies supports Donizetti’s original soprano melodies, some bowed and others pizzicato. Jones’ great nimbleness of finger work and accuracy to lightly bow every string are excellent. Joachim’s arrangement of the Bluebells of Scotland is a poignant end to this CD. It gives Jones the opportunity to further convince the listener of his expert double stopping with duo voices. Jones masterly succeeds in his goal to exhibit unfamiliar styles of the period’s violin music. - Allan Scott-Rogers July 2014

JAZZ CD REVIEWS Discourse with Kevin Jones
BUCK CLAYTON: THREE CLASSIC ALBUMS PLUS (Songs For Swingers/Buck Clayton All Stars At Newport/Buck Meets Ruby/Newport Jazz Festival All Stars) Avid Jazz AMSC 1036
✶✶✶✶✶
Buck Clayton’s style was always the epitome of good taste. There were few, and I can only think of one (Bunny Berigan), better trumpeters during the Swing Era. His recordings with Count Basie’s greatest orchestra, Basie’s Kansas City Fives and Sevens, and with Billie Holiday are proof of this. Clayton’s phrases, warm and tasteful, sang with melody; his sound was smoother and gentler than such bravura soloists as Roy Eldridge, and his delicate use of the cup mute was in a class of its own. His warm lyricism and swinging improvisations are highlighted on this invaluable reissue. Until now I had never been able to get a copy of Songs

John di Martino impresses me more each time I hear him. In fact he has become one of the most heavily featured pianists on my late Saturday night jazz program (After Hours 10pm on Fine Music 102.5). He has followed his memorable album of duets with cornet star Warren Vache, with one just as good featuring his trio and also showcasing his bountiful talents as an arranger, giving some well know standards and lesser known jazz classics an edgier sound. Take Billy Strayhorn’s Passion Flower for example: he arranges it as a Cuban Afro-bolero with some lovely bowing by bassist Boris Koslov above Alvin Atkinson’s subtle mallets. Another Strayhorn composition, A Flower Is A Lovesome Thing, is set to a Brazilian partido alto rhythm. After hearing the 1930s Depression song Brother Can You Spare A Dime
THE LOOK OF LOVE Nicki Parrott Venus VHCD 1141
✶✶✶✶ It’s always a pleasure reviewing an album with the Newcastle-born bassist Nicki Parrott on it whether she is anchoring the rhythm section on so many of those first-class sessions for Arbors Records or reminding us of her talents as a vocalist, as she does on her latest set for the Japanese Venus label. She not only looks good - one critic wrote that she would not look out of place on the cover of an alluring 1950s jazz LP - but has vocal chords to match her good looks. She has an uncanny feel and touch for a swinging groove but can also beguile with the soft caress of her ballad singing. The complete package, she is popular across the whole jazz spectrum.

Braff, originally recorded for Vanguard with just one microphone hanging from the ceiling, finds the young Bostonian, playing trumpet instead of cornet, not only complementing Clayton but stimulating and challenging him.
For Swingers originally released on the Columbia label in 1959 although I was lucky enough to find a live recording by Clayton’s all-star group on the French Vogue label. Mainstream jazz doesn’t come much better than this. All the other horns were Basie veterans: Emmet Berry (trumpet), Dickie Wells (trombone), Buddy Tate (tenor) and Earl Warren (alto and clarinet). Clayton’s arrangements are not only lucid and direct but ideal for swinging improvisations. The 1956 Newport set was one of the first half dozen jazz LPs I bought; Duke Ellington was on the other side. The more modern stylists, trombonist J J Johnson and pianist Dick Katz, blend well with their more swing orientated companions including Coleman Hawkins and two of Ella Fitzgerald’s accompanists, drummer Gus Johnson and bassist Bennie Moten. Hawkins steals the show, the tenor giant blowing with strength and energy. The 1954 session with Ruby
transformed into a boppish tribute to Bud Powell, you realise why di Martino is in such demand as an arranger and accompanist by singers Janis Siegel and Nicki Parrott, and, of course, evergreen tenor saxophonist Houston Person with whom he has played for many years. It was his ability as a ballad player that first attracted me to di Martino and here we have three exemplary examples of his romantically poignant balladeering - Moon And Sand, If I Loved You and My Ideal. He is also a pianist who can swing without falling into clichés; the melodies he chooses are both swing friendly: Cole Porter’s It’s Alright With Me and Falling In Love With Love from the Rodgers and Hart songbook. I’m looking forward expectantly to di Martino’s next album.
associated with movies ranging from Smile (Modern Times) through Moonlight Serenade (The Glenn Miller Story) to The Way We Were. As usual her backing is impeccable: pianist John di Martino is on board again complementing the vibes of Chuck Redd and the tenor and clarinet of Ken Peplowski. The latter two are heard to good effect on Moonlight Serenade, the best version of Miller’s legendary theme since Ella Fitzgerald’s in the 1950s. Peplowski’s clarinet sets the mood before combining with Redd’s vibes to recall the sound of a Benny Goodman small group, perfect for Parrot’s romanticisms. As soloists Peplowski and Redd are outstanding. Redd is featured extensively, shining on Johnny Mandel’s The Shadow Of Your Smile and the title track. I make no secret of my admiration for Peplowski’s clarinet playing, and there are some fine examples here, but his softer ballad
sound on tenor is perfect for The Way We Were. Nicki’s sister Lisa adds her baritone to The Man That Got Away. As for di Martino, he never disappoints. This is one of Nicki’s best vocal albums.
SWINGING ON THE VINE BENNY’S “MOZART”
Fletcher Henderson
Ah show biz, where would you be without it? The “dramatic” news that my insufferable brother-in-law Clifford has eloped with the lead singer of the Tattooed Beach Sluts, the group he manages, has silenced The Voice. Little has been said about Cherry Poobsey-Pie Flowering Blossom since I handed The Voice a stiff vodka and tonic after she was told of the so-called “celebrity event of the year”, or as one tabloid hack put it: “Love conquers all. They were made for each other!” My comment that Cherry’s singing sounds like a sack of snarling devils (the Tasmanian variety) has always been ignored. And then there is her vocabulary, sprinkled with such delights as “awesome”, “sweet”, “totally”, “hot” and “dude”, and of course the one and only “like”. The mind boggles when imagining an intimate conversation with Clifford - “Dude you are so awesome and hot. Like, I’m totally into you.” Welcome to Airhead Central! It’s with a sense of relief that I return to the real world in my Hunter Valley hideaway to drain the first of several glasses of the chilled bounty of the red grape. Even Big J has got over his sulks as he shows with snorts of piggish delight as he slurps endless bowls of light red. The high tech equipment and I will never be friends but at least I am finding some satisfaction in coming to some sort of terms with it. The Voice never said a truer word when she called me a dinosaur. I am watching and listening to Benny Goodman at the Marriott Hotel in New York in 1985 with his final big band telling the packed audience:
“I choose to play Fletcher Henderson charts because he is my Mozart. I think he is a genius so why not continue to present his music.” Henderson, was not only Goodman’s favourite arranger, but the first great orchestrator of the big band sound and his arrangements of jazz classics and popular tunes were the key to Goodman’s success as a bandleader. Goodman’s brilliance as an instrumentalist would have made him a star under any circumstances but it was Henderson’s galvanic scores which made Goodman the King of Swing. Although Henderson’s legacy will always be overshadowed by Goodman’s, his bands were a launching pad for some of jazz’s most brilliant soloists. His ensembles helped establish the framework for swing band arrangements: the dialogue between brass and reed sections, the ensemble riffs that accompanied solo passages. The complex intricacies of the swing charts were fine-tuned by his great band of the late 1920s. In their original form before Goodman played them, Henderson’s charts were only a few steps from being the quintessential Swing Era sound. The difference was Goodman who, with his unrelenting drive for musical perfection, put the final polish on them. Ken Peplowski, featured tenor saxophone soloist in Goodman’s final big band, explains: “As a testament to Benny as an editor and bandleader, if you perform an A/B listening test of the same chart being played by Fletcher and Benny’s bands, you will hear vast changes in the arrangement. The big difference is the way the bands played the rhythmic figures and differences in phrasing. That is all Benny. These charts still hold up. You don’t need a drummer to play like Gene Krupa. These charts swing and if a chart swings you can play it in any era as long as you are not making a mockery of it. It is actually worse if you are trying to play in an old style and you don’t quite get that style. “If you respect the music by playing it with your own little subtle differences, you are showing that it is still valid. The charts are deceptively simple with many call and response sections - but everything fits together like the perfect jigsaw puzzle. Take Fletcher’s Down South Camp Meeting. It is like a story from beginning to end. It goes on and on; it progresses, developing like a great song. All his charts were kind of like that. When you play the original arrangements, the inner voices are not just fleshed out. They all have a beauty to them. The fourth tenor (saxophone) parts always had a nice line. They are fun to play. If I do a Benny
Goodman concert the audience really goes crazy. There is a much stronger reaction than anything else I could play with a big band. They still love those charts.” In 1935 Goodman was paying $37 for a chart by Henderson who was writing about three a week. Refuting allegations by some who try to rewrite history by claiming Goodman took advantage of Henderson, Peplowski said he had seen a contract between Goodman and Henderson which showed he was being paid about $100 a chart by 1939 or 1940. “That was incredible money!” - and Henderson wrote hundreds of arrangements for Goodman. “All these claims are false. Benny Goodman broke racial barriers. He didn’t care about race. Looking for a surface answer, people would ask him how he felt about hiring an integrated band and breaking down racial barriers. Goodman would reply he never though of it that way. He always hired the people he thought would be the best in his groups; a great answer. That is the Benny Goodman above all else that should be remembered - one of the greatest musicians of the last century.” The last word is from Ruby Braff who once said: “No matter what period of Benny’s life he could make anyone on the bandstand sound like a beginner.” I’ll drink to that and so will Big J who snorts with delight as I open another bottle of chilled red . . . - Patrick D Maguire

July Program Highlights CHRISTOPH WILLIBALD RITTER VON GLUCK Wednesday 2 July 8pm-10.30pm At the Opera: Alceste Thousands of composers have written operas, not that many have produced works that change the way it was done by succeeding generations. Three hundred years ago at Erasbach in Bavaria on 2nd July such a person was born to a well-to-do forester and his wife. Young Christoph Willibald Ritter von Gluck received an elementary education and early on decided to be a musician. His father’s strong disapproval compelled him to run away from home in his early teens and head to Prague where he earned a living as an organist. He was also handy with string instruments and secured a position as cellist in Vienna with an orchestra based in Milan. All the while he was learning composition by listening, watching and playing. Opera was the major entertainment of the day and Gluck’s first effort, Artaserse, was produced in Milan on 26th December, 1741 and became an immediate success. He composed a further seven operas to commissions before travelling to London where two of his operas, drawing heavily from his earlier works, were produced but not particularly appreciated. Whilst there he gained his first publication, a set of six trio sonatas which elicited Handel’s comment that his cook knew more of counterpoint, an observation that was probably true as that cook was an accomplished musician and Gluck’s composing was consciously in a different style. The two composers became friends, gave a benefit concert together in London on 25th March, 1746 and in later years Gluck would have Handel’s portrait hanging above his bed. Gluck continued to receive opera commissions and supervised their production in Dresden,

Vienna, Copenhagen, Prague and Naples. Most of them were popular and financial successes. After he and Maria Anna Bergin, the daughter of a well-to-do merchant and literally half his age, were married on 15th September, 1750 he was able to gain access to the Viennese Imperial Court through her family’s connections. Although the marriage documentation stated he was of “good reputation” and “good character”’ Gluck had contracted venereal disease from an earlier liaison with a soprano. Opera at this time was a fairly predictable entertainment. An immutable stylised libretto would be sent to the composer who would use his craftsmanship to compose a score. Arias with orchestral accompaniment (to indicate emotion) and recitatives with minimalist keyboard input (to move the story along) would succeed one another in fairly stereotypical fashion. What is more, vocal soloists would take great liberties with their arias directing attention away from the music and onto themselves (much like today’s pop stars). Gluck wanted to change the balance from showmanship to drama and to restore the composer’s eminent position by forbidding superfluity. In his own words he strove for “beautiful simplicity”. His first essay using this philosophy was actually a ballet, Don Juan, which was staged at the Burgtheatre in Vienna on 17th September, 1761. The choreographer of the ballet, Gasparo Angiolini wrote: “Music is essential to mime... we could hardly make ourselves understood without music, and the more apt it is to what we are trying to express, the more we can make ourselves understood.” Collaboration was the way to go. And it was collaboration with librettist Ranieri Calzabigi that realised the production of Gluck’s
opera Orfeo ed Euridice at the same venue on 6th October, 1762. It differed from previous operas by having a small cast, no sub-plot, arias without coloratura embellishment, and recitatives accompanied by a string orchestra which allowed the opera to flow more naturally. Its debut was not particularly successful but 12 years later, when Gluck revised it for the Paris Opera, it became part of the operatic canon. Being a professional composer, Gluck continued to write operas in the conventional manner of the time but his masterpieces like Alceste, Iphigenie en Aulide and Iphigenie en Tauride were composed in his newly created style. His influence on succeeding composers was vast: Cherubini, Mehul and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart adopted and developed his techniques. Hector Berlioz wrote out 120 pages of full score from the Iphigenie operas in 1822, made a version of Orfeo ed Euridice in 1859 and declared to Cherubini “Gluck’s scores are the finest example of dramatic music I know”. Richard Wagner revised Iphigenie en Aulide and conducted it at Dresden in 1847. The music critic Auguste de Gasperini soon afterwards wrote “The true master of Wagner, his direct ancestor, is Gluck.” A man of medium height with a stocky frame, Gluck was uncompromising in his demands for perfection from singers and orchestra. He liked playing the piano outdoors with a bottle of champagne on either side. He enjoyed, and could afford the good life, but after suffering three strokes his doctor advised abstinence. Gluck died at his home in Vienna on the afternoon of 15th November, 1787 after having consumed an after dinner liqueur. - Stephen Pleskun NOT TO BE MISSED Sunday 27 July 2pm-4pm At the Time of Young Schubert Friday 4 July 2pm-4pm An American Concert Monday 7 July 2.30pm-4pm The Versatility of Reynaldo Hahn Saturday 12 July 9.30am-11.30am British Revival Sunday 13 July 4pm-5pm The Symphonies of Max Bruch Sunday 20 July 4pm-5pm Musica Viva Presents Young Kwon Choi CONTINUING SERIES Friday 4 & 18 July 1pm-2pm Bach the Magnificent Every Wednesday 3pm The Symphonies of Haydn Wednesdays 8pm Legendary Met Performances: 9 July La Favorita 16 July Don Giovanni July 2014

Gluck, C. Alceste. Opera in three acts. Libretto by Ranieri de Calzabigi after Alcestis by Euripides. First performed Vienna, 1767. ALCESTE: Teresa Ringholz, sop ADMETO: Justin Lavender, ten APOLLO: Lars Martinsson, bar Drottingholm Theatre Ch & O/Arnold Östman. Naxos 8. 660066-68 2:27 In Pherae, King Admetus is dying. Queen Alcestis and his sorrowing people seek help from Apollo who once, as a shepherd, was given hospitality by Admetus. Apollo, refusing animal sacrifices for the king’s recovery, decrees that Admetus will live if another dies in his place. Alcestis decides she will be the sacrifice. In a dark wood she encounters the gods of the Underworld and is told that Charon, ferryman of the dead, is already calling her. Admetus recovers but is horrified that another’s death has saved him. When he learns that this is Alcestis, he rejects her offer, preferring to die rather than live without her. It is too late. Alcestis bids farewell to him and her children and is carried away to the Underworld. Admetus is restrained from taking his own life and Apollo appears with Alcestis. He reunites the couple because of the generous vow of Alcestis, the suffering of Admetus and the former hospitality shown to the god by Admetus. Ballet: Alessandro (1764).

Fernando, a novice, wishes to leave the monastery as he has fallen in love with Leonora, unaware that she is the mistress of King Alfonso. Although she loves him, she fears his rejection when he knows her situation, so she hands him a commission in the army; he decides to win her by his achievements. Threatened with a papal interdict, Alfonso gives up Leonora. Fernando saves the kingdom and as a reward is given Leonora, who is unable to tell him of her love. The nobles taunt Fernando for marrying the king’s mistress. He breaks his sword and returns to the monastery where he grieves for his lost love. Leonora appears, explains, begs his forgiveness and dies in his arms. 23:00 THE ETERNAL CITY Prepared by Randolph Magri-Overend Respighi, O. Pines of Rome (1924). West Australian SO/Jorge Mester.

King Gualtiero has married a beautiful beggar, Griselda, but she is very unpopular. He tells her he is going to marry a royal wife. A noble, Ottone, offers to kill Gualtiero if Griselda marries him, but she refuses. Costanza, Gualtiero’s fiancée, arrives with her beloved Roberto. Ottone threatens to kill her son if Griselda does not marry him and is again rejected. She is living on the streets, where she is found by Costanza, who wants her to be her maid. Griselda hears Costanza and Roberto declaring their love for each other, but Gualtiero tells her not to intervene. He orders her to marry Ottone, but Griselda chooses death. This proves her love to Gualtiero and his subjects, she is affirmed as Queen and Costanza is revealed as their daughter. 22:30 MUSICAL GARDENS OF THE WORLD Prepared by Randolph Magri-Overend Strauss, J.
