MELVYN TAN IN THE 18TH CENTURY NICKY GLUCH WEAVES A FAIRYTALE only a musician but also a master swordsman and, most importantly to our story, a friend of Marie Antoinette. The Queen supported Saint-Georges in his endeavours (crucial, given the racial climate of the time) and, when he became conductor of the Concert des Amateurs, attended some of its concerts.

She would sometimes come, however, without notice, and so the orchestra is known to have worn court attire at all of their performances, just in case.

Melvyn Tan

The AHE retains a romantic connection to the past. Not only does it play on period instruments but it explores the aesthetics of elegance lost to us in modern times. Many, like Artistic Director Skye McIntosh, spent time abroad studying in ‘royal’ establishments.

With European and British history so palpable there, the AHE players now infuse those sentiments into their Australian performances.

Joining them in June will be a man who epitomises this ideal. Singapore-born London resident, Melvyn Tan, plays and teaches with elegance. As a fortepiano expert, Tan places history at the forefront of his musical ideology and restores the past to life.

Tan’s story about how he became a Londoner is quite remarkable. Aged 11, at home in Singapore, he was playing a concert which happened to be attended by a stranded Qantas flight attendant. The woman was taken by his ability and persuaded Tan’s parents that he should audition for the Yehudi Menuhin School in England. With the facility of her international travel, the woman even hand-delivered the audition tape when she flew to the U.K. Tan was accepted and arrived in London in 1969.

He fell in love with the city and has made it his home ever since.

”

Sometimes, we are given the chance to remember that the ‘stuff of fairytales’ was once but a step from reality. The Brothers Grimm and Mme. Leprince de Beaumont did not need to conjure up castles and queens for they and their antics took place before their very eyes. In June, the Australian Haydn Ensemble (AHE) will transport audiences to the Palace of Versailles.

Marie Antoinette will reign supreme and her friendships and influence will resound in music which could only be written for a queen.

Melvyn Tan plays and teaches with elegance.

”

This story means that Tan has something in common with the first composer on the program, Chevalier de Saint-Georges. The Chevalier, born Joseph Boulogne, grew up on the island of Guadeloupe, the son of an ennobled commoner and his African paramour. At seven, his parents sent him to Paris to further his education. Flourishing in his new home, Saint-Georges became not

The premiere of Saint-Georges’ Symphony no 2 in D major was, more than likely, attended by the Queen. Now, thanks to the AHE, it is to receive its first Australian performance. The Symphony is in three movements, the Allegro Presto upbeat followed by a pensive Andante which adds the instruments in layers. To close is a Presto which dances and cheers. The music would later be reworked into the overture for Saint-Georges’ opera L’Amant Anonyme (The Anonymous Lover). In a delightfully Parisian entanglement, it was sponsored by Mme. de Montesson, the secret lover of SaintGeorge’s patron, the Duke of Orleans, and it tells the story of Valcour, in love with Leontine, who cannot tell of his affections because of social norms. It is thought that perhaps SaintGeorges was reflecting on his own plight. As a man of colour, he too was forbidden to marry.

As to whom he loved, history would suggest it might even have been the Queen.

When Melvyn Tan enters onto the stage, it will be to perform Mozart’s Keyboard Concerto no 18. Mozart and Saint-Georges have their own (rivalrous) ties but the linchpin is, once again, Marie Antoinette. Long before she was Queen of France, Maria Antonia (as she was then known) was Archduchess of Austria. It was in this guise that she met a young Mozart. Both were aged seven and legend has it that Mozart proclaimed that he would marry the Princess.

Sadly, the world had other plans.

Tan’s keyboard of choice for this performance is an Australian fortepiano. Tan is one of a handful of players who is as renowned for his performances on the historic instrument as he is on the modern pianoforte. When he took up the fortepiano in 1980, he was described as brave and forward looking. As he told Glasgow critic Kate Molleson, “I more-or-less figured it out as I went along. People thought I was mad.

‘Why do you bother with that strange dinosaur instrument?’ they’d ask me. I was convinced musically that it was the right sound for me,

but I had to work hard at mastering it and convincing people.”

Thanks to his skill, Tan became one of the trailblazers of the historic performance movement. Now, he urges all of his students to learn the roots of their concert grand. In an interview for Onyx Classics, Tan explained how he thinks ‘it’s very important for all pianists to know why and how these [historic] instruments existed because Mozart wrote in the way that he did for a reason and so did Beethoven and so did Schubert’.

‘

‘

… one of the trailblazers of the historic performance movement

Speaking of Mozart’s compositions, his 18th Keyboard Concerto is thought to have been written for Maria Theresia von Paradis.

Whether or not she was the performer, it was undoubtedly written for Paris. But let us imagine that history did align and Paradis performed the premiere. The woman, blind from childhood, would have done so beautifully, her touch at one with the delicate keyboard and her sound ringing true. Tan, then, will evoke her spirit. Touted by critics as thoughtful, elegant and refined, Tan is sure to make the first movement sound delicately rhythmic, the second intimate and revealing a darker tone and the third sure to sparkle with vivacity. This is a piece for youth, written by a young composer, for a younger performer and to be performed in a city which never ages.

Perhaps for this reason, it has become quite timeless.

Skye McIntosh

The concerto will show off Tan’s skill but it also relies heavily on the technical capabilities of the AHE. Skye McIntosh is looking forward to their collaboration. As a young ensemble, it is quite a coup to be able to feature an international star. Of Tan, McIntosh says, “We are thrilled to be working with Melvyn. His ability to bring to life the sounds of the 18th Century accords perfectly with our mission”.

That mission is centred on Classicism and, as the ensemble’s name suggests, its figurehead Joseph Haydn.

Musically, Haydn’s work is charming, elegant but not overly serious. If Mozart’s Concerto was one of youth, Haydn’s Symphony is a reminder that age is quite often a construct of the mind. Indeed, McIntosh told the Sydney Morning Herald that, “When I listen to Haydn’s music now, I think ‘wow’, it sounds like ‘pop’ music. Often, Haydn gets put down for being very simple but there is a lot of ‘funkiness’ in his writing. We want to bring that back to life.” In the AHE’s full orchestral configuration, Haydn’s Symphony is sure to sparkle. On the stage of the City Recital Hall, the music of the 18th Century will find a fitting home.

An AHE concert is rarely complete without a Haydn work, and for this program they have chosen his Symphony no 85. With Paris and Marie Antoinette the focus, one of Haydn’s Paris Symphonies would seem to be the obvious choice and which better than the one the Queen had named for her. But the story, and the interconnectedness of the program, goes deeper. When one looks for the person who commissioned the work, it will be discovered that it was the one and only Chevalier de Saint-Georges.

So what do you need to make a good fairytale?

A queen is essential, of course, and her castle and a handsome swordsman will always add allure. But they, on their own, are nothing without the storyteller. In June, the Australian Haydn Ensemble brings you their story. Paris has been chosen as the setting, the Chevalier de Saint-Georges as the man of mystery and Joseph Haydn as the dependable soul. For an air of complication (for what is a story without one), there is Mozart and for the narrator, the deft voice of Melvyn Tan. Join them on this

journey. Allow yourselves to be transported to a world so different, but yet so similar to our own. Look for the magic in the everyday and allow history, and music, to be the ‘stuff’ of which fairytales are made.

Two programs of music played by the Australian Haydn Ensemble will be broadcast in Showcasing Australian Artists on Thursdays 1 and 8 June at 8pm.

Melvyn Tan plays Mozart’s Piano Concerto no 18 in B flat, K456. Australian Haydn Ensemble directed by Skye McIntosh plays Chevalier de Saint-Georges’ Symphony no 2 in D, op 11 and Haydn’s Symphony in B flat, Hob.I:85, La Reine.

TELEMANN: A CREATIVE GENIUS ANDREW DZIEDZIC CELEBRATES HIS LIFE AND MUSIC Despite early signs of a hugely precocious musical genius, Georg Philipp Telemann’s family tried hard to discourage him from a career in music: he could play the organ after two weeks of keyboard instruction; he taught himself composition and was commissioned to compose pieces for the high school he attended, where he also taught himself how to play the recorder, violin, keyboard instruments, flute, oboe, chalumeau, viola da gamba, double bass and bass trombone.

After matriculating to study law at Leipzig University, the family was forced to give in when he obtained commissions to write works for the two main churches in Leipzig. At the same time, this young man revived, and became Director of one of the local Collegia Musicum ensembles to perform secular music for dignitaries (a job later taken over by Bach) and he also soon became musical director of the local Opera House and composed operas for the nearby Weissenfels court.

The 250th anniversary of Georg Philipp Telemann’s death in 1767 falls on 25 June this year and it is being marked by programs celebrating his much under-estimated and encyclopaedic scale contributions to music of the 18th century. The major program, The Constant Music Master will include many significant works by Telemann and by some of his famous contemporaries some of whom he influenced and others who were influenced by him.

Telemann was born in 1681, four years before Johann Sebastian Bach, in Magdeburg in northern Germany and like Bach, Telemann virtually disappeared from view during the 19th century. It was only due to some 20th century biographies and a steadily increasing interest in Baroque music during the latter part of the century which led to more and more of Telemann’s hugely varied output being recorded. Those recordings still only constitute a tiny fraction of Telemann’s prodigious output.

Given that Telemann died at the age of 86 in 1767, it’s impossible within the scope of this article to give an adequate account of his numerous appointments and achievements.

However, today it’s ironic that two of the incidents most remembered from his life include turning down the position in Leipzig

which J.S. Bach eventually was offered and accepted in 1723 with Bach being the Council’s third choice. The second incident was that he became the godfather to Bach’s son, Carl Philipp Emanuel.

Good natured, head strong, superbly gifted as well as endlessly creative, Telemann was a composer so prolific that his output far exceeds that of Bach and Handel combined. In his day, he was far more famous than Bach as a composer and was paid many times more than was Bach, over long periods maintaining contracts to supply operas and cantata cycles to towns and opera houses all over Germany. He was able to absorb and adapt different styles of music for different purposes, combining their best elements in new ways and having a sharp instinct for the emerging galant and classical styles which he anticipated in some ways. Today his contribution to the development of chamber music is becoming more and more recognised and thus it is more often performed.

Telemann’s private life was not so fortunate, his first wife dying in childbirth at a young age, and although his second wife gave birth to numerous children, none became composers. His second wife nearly ruined him financially when she left him for a Swedish officer. Because of the huge debts which she accumulated, he could only survive by way of loans from his friends. Repayment of these debts may well have been part of the motivation behind his innovative idea of setting up his own printing press for 43 publications of his new compositions which were sold to royalty, to composers such as Bach and Handel and to performers and amateurs all over Europe, including in Russia. These publications made a considerable fortune for Telemann and further ensured his compositional influence

over composers throughout Europe and beyond.

Also a noted and published poet and musical theorist, Telemann contributed considerably to the intellectual life of Hamburg, where he held his last post, still occasionally composing works of the greatest quality, sensitive to emerging trends in music, and engaging in many lively debates.

It’s curious that more than 3,000 of his works survive, yet his recorded music and concert performances of his works would only represent a fraction of the performances heard today of Bach’s or Handel’s works. Given these composers’ high opinion of Telemann’s works, there is clearly still much scope for the re-discovery of much more of his oeuvre, including some of his hundreds of operas.

Our celebratory 250th anniversary Telemann program, The Constant Music Master will be heard on Saturday 24 at 2pm. There’s more music of Telemann in Baroque and Before on Fridays 2 and 16 at 10pm.

THE MANNHEIM INNOVATOR

MELISSA EVANS ON THE LEGACY OF JOHANN STAMITZ he decided to pursue a career as a virtuoso violinist. It was as the leading violinist that he first joined the orchestra in Mannheim in 1741.

Three years later he married Maria Luneborn and two of their five children, Anton and Carl, also became composers.

Stamitz advanced through the ranks of the orchestra and was soon appointed as its director. The orchestra’s fame grew under his leadership due to the technical advances made by its many talented musicians and composers such as Ignaz Holzbauer, Franz Xaver Richter, Christian Cannabich and Johann’s son, Carl. This became known as the Mannheim School.

The Bohemian violinist and composer Johann Stamitz, is credited with a number of signicant innovations in composition, the most remarkable of which was his introduction of the concept of the four-movement symphony.

This had a ripple effect as it inspired many later composers, most notably, Beethoven.

Johann Stamitz was baptised on 19 June 1717 and was probably born a day or two earlier. His first musical education was with his father, Antonin, the village cantor, after which he attended a Jesuit school famed for its musical training. Later he studied at the University of Prague but, after one year,

Under Stamitz’s influence, the school impacted the way in which dynamics were used. One of the most celebrated was the ‘Mannheim crescendo’ in which the entire orchestra increased the pitch of the music from low to high and the volume from soft to loud. The school developed the ‘Mannheim rocket’ utilising arpeggios combined with a crescendo. This technique can be found in Johann Stamitz’s Symphony in D major, op 3 no 2.

Some of Stamitz’ most significant compositions, including his ten orchestral trios and his 72 symphonies (of which 58 survive), employ the four-movement structure which he initiated. He increased the use of wind

instruments as part of the orchestra and was one of the earliest composers to write solos for oboes and clarinets. Stamitz introduced the new instrument, the clarinet, into the orchestra making it one of the first orchestras to include the insrument. Amongst Stamitz’s concertos were 12 for flute and one each for oboe and clarinet while his son, Carl wrote several for clarinet.

During his 1777 visit to Mannheim, Wolfgang Mozart was impressed with the Mannheim orchestra where he first heard the clarinets.

He later composed some of the most beautiful music ever written for the instrument. His Sinfonia Concertante for violin, viola and orchestra draws on the Mannheim School’s inventive use of dynamics.

In 1750, Stamitz was appointed as Director of Chamber Muisc for the court of the Elector Palatinate. He enjoyed a successful tour to Paris in 1754-55 and, soon after returning to Mannheim, died at the age of 39. His many impressive works have influenced other composers including Haydn, Mozart, Johann Christian Bach, Beethoven and Boccherini.

His music has continued to be enjoyed over many generations. On this 300th anniversary of his birth, Fine Music is proud to celebrate the innovative legacy of Johann Stamitz.

Listen to the 300th anniversary program The Mannheim Innovator at 2pm on 19 June.

ARCADIAN SCENES

ELAINE SIVERSEN VISITS A MYTHICAL WORLD Arcady, or Arcadia, is a mythical, idyllic pastoral paradise. It’s a world of frolicking fauns, satyrs, naiads, nymphs, dryads and the awesome majesty of the gods. The program, Arcady, will take us to this mythical, rustic place, beginning with a full-length ballet and ending with a symphony of pagan inspiration.

The origins of the ballet Sylvia by Leo Delibes are in Tasso’s 1573 play Aminta and the ballet is notable for its mythological Arcadian setting, creative choreographies, expansive sets and, above all, its remarkable score. Delibes, being a great admirer of Wagner, used Leitmotifs throughout and the symphonic syle of the music is reminiscent of that of Wagner. Aminta is the simple shepherd boy in love with the nymph Sylvia. Eros, the Greek god of love, and Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt and chastity, combine to save Sylvia from the

wicked hunter, Orion and return her to Aminta.

Surprisingly, the bacchanal in Act III takes place in chaste Diana’s temple!

Granville Bantock’s Pagan Symphony is ‘plush and decadent with delusions of Dionysus and illusions of Aphrodite’ according to James Leonard, who also calls it ‘profligate chaos … tuneful and colourful’. The symphony is in one movement of eight sections, one of which is a sensuous evocation of the goddess Aphrodite.

The work displays a world of classical antiquity with exciting, accessible music brimming with memorable melodies. As a classical scholar Bantock prefaced his symphony with a suitable Latin motto: Et ego in Arcadia vixit (I too lived in Arcadia): wishful thinking, perhaps?

A WORD FROM FINE MUSIC DONORS donations. “Fine Music has a truly remarkable team of volunteers, but it has lots of equipment, splendid recording facilities, is expensive to run and keep on air, maintains a dedicated and vital small team of employees, gets virtually no government support and needs a steady philanthropic cash flow to operate and survive.

Its donor base is therefore of vital importance.”

Robert Albert “I’ve known 102.5 since it started as our first FM station all those years ago and have always loved what it stands for and the music it plays. It is always there for me when I need a classical music fix (which is most of the time!).” Robert Albert, who was a director of The Australian Ballet for 25 years continues, “My family has been in the music publishing business for over 130 years. I learnt piano from the age of four, and have loved classical music ever since”.

As a long-time donor to Fine Music, Mr. Albert says that he loves making these

“Music is a vital ingredient to the education of the young and the stimulation of the old. This is the objective of the new Learning Centre which I can see is already being met. No doubt it will require continued funding to expand its services.”

This is one of many reasons why Sue Jowell donates both her time and her financial support to Fine Music.

Sue emigrated from South Africa in 2007, retiring after a career in the spheres of politics, finance and education which included 25 years as Governor of two prominent school boards.

She goes on to say: Fine Music to me, is a place of peace, chaos, amusement, laughter,

frustration and above all camaraderie, a place where I can forget problems and become immersed in the job at hand. Fine Music has given me the opportunity to indulge my love of music in all its guises. I love presenting, but more importantly I love researching the music which is not familiar to me (or which I may not even like!).

Her other main reason for donating is that Fine Music provides the ‘precious gifts’ of occupation, stimulation and company for its many volunteers, many of whom are retired, some also living alone. “Having worked within voluntary organisations all my life, this is the only one I have seen which actually gives back to its volunteers.”

INTIMATE BRAHMS THE ENDURING IMPACT OF HIS CHAMBER MUSIC BY BARRY WALMSLEY J.S. Bach: he loved the sense of structure and the polyphonic textures.

Debate has raged over the musical gifts of composer Johannes Brahms. The great 19thcentury critic Eduard Hanslick thought highly of Brahms, for his music fitted Hanslick’s view that music should not express non-musical ideas: it should not tell a story. It was this purely artistic concept which put Brahms and Wagner at odds and even Tchaikovsky didn’t consider Brahms as truly gifted.

Leaving aside the large-scale works of his symphonies, concertos and probably Brahms’s most famous creation, A German Requiem, it is perhaps his chamber music which provides the world with his most outstanding array of intimate creations. Along with his sonatas for violin, cello and clarinet, there are piano trios, the well-known Trio for clarinet, cello and piano and the Trio for horn, violin and piano, as well as string quartets, piano quartets, string quintets, string sextets, a piano quintet and a clarinet quintet.

Brahms is perhaps the most conservative representative of Romanticism. He embraced the idea of Romanticism in his own intrinsic fashion, even looking back to, and admiring 10

An early work, the String sextet in B flat, op 18 was one of the few compositions instantly liked by the public on first hearing. It endeared Brahms to the Viennese when he toured the piece there in 1862. It is more homophonic in texture and less romantic than his G major Sextet (written in 1865). The opening melody of the first movement has one of the most beautiful themes ever conceived, and like much of Brahms’s chamber music, it relies on the interplay of thematic material between the parts.

The second movement (an Andante with variations) was originally a piano solo for Clara Schumann but it has never seen the light of day as such. What is perhaps most compelling about the fourth movement was how Brahms turned the sextet into essentially two string trios working antiphonally.

It was the first of three piano quartets, the G minor, op 25 (written in 1861) which was applauded in Vienna and it has become one of the most popular works in the repertory.

Notwithstanding a strong critique in the form of a private letter from Clara Schumann, the work had a freshness and vitality about it which set Brahms’s Viennese career alight.

The Piano quintet in F minor had a more convoluted origin. First written for five strings, with two cellos, it was then changed into a sonata for two pianos (which exists as opus 34a) and finally it emerged in 1862 in its current form for piano and four strings. The first three movements were sent to Clara Schumann, who wrote back glowingly: “I hardly know how to tell you calmly what a joy your quintet is to me. I have played it through several times, and my heart is full of it. Your things seem to grow more and more splendid,

more and more glorious. What strength, what richness, there is … How beautifully it is scored for the instruments … At the close that dreamy passage and then the accelerando and the wild passionate ending - I cannot tell you how it moves me and how it has taken hold of me. How rapturously it sings and rings from beginning to end! I keep on beginning it over again, and wished it would never stop.”

For some, the Trio for horn, violin and piano, op 40 is a masterpiece in every way. With the natural horn specified in the original version, it is not surprising that Brahms had an intimate knowledge of the horn which shines through, since he played the instrument as a boy. One of the interesting features of all Brahms’s chamber music is his treatment of thematic material. In this Trio, the themes all work incredibly well on all three instruments, a feat not easily accomplished by other composers.

However, even though composition came relatively easily to Brahms, depressive and discouraging emotions took hold when he was not quite 60, which saw the composer announce that he would retire from composition. In an effort to find some solace, Brahms visited his friends, Georg II, Duke of Saxe-Meiningen, and Helene, Baroness von Holdburg, in 1890, during which time he became excited about his new-found love, the clarinet: and so it was, that the Clarinet trio, op 114 and Clarinet quintet, op 115 were born.

In their first private and public airings, these works were enthusiastically received. The tide turned and Brahms continued to compose. It was this fortuitous and remarkable meeting of Brahms with the great clarinetist, Richard Mühlfeld which kept his compositional spirit alive, making an even more enduring and propitious impact in the world of 19th century chamber music.

A 20-program series of Brahms’ chamber music, Intimate Brahms, prepared by Frank Morrison, began in March and may be heard twice monthly on the first and third Fridays at 3pm.

The Romantic Century is a cavalcade of renowned French composers.

The outstanding work is Symphonie fantastique by Berlioz, an early example of the programmatic romantic symphony expressing the emotions of the protagonist, believed to be based on the composer’s own life and his, at this stage, unrequited love for the English actress Harriet Smithson.

Deryck Cooke says of Mahler’s Resurrection Symphony that it ‘resolves itself into a symbolic description of a psychological mood-sequence: a sense of outrage at the omnipotence of death [first movement]; a haunting awareness of the fragility of life’s happiness [Andante]; a feeling of disgust at the mechanical and aimless triviality of everyday life [Scherzo]; a turning away to faith in God [the contralto song Urlicht, fourth movement]; and belief in resurrection and eternal life [fifth movement]’.

STAR CHANT AND DESERT CANTATA REFLECTIONS BY JAMES NIGHTINGALE

Ross Edwards and Peter Sculthorpe Amidst the overwhelming sounds of the history of western music, it’s easy to overlook the range and impact of Australian composers upon our contemporary musical culture.

Two upcoming Sunday Specials will bring you some of the most exciting and beautiful recent classical music of Australia which I hope will help us all appreciate how special this music is. The first, on 25 June, features music by Ross Edwards and other composers with whom he is closely associated. The second, on the 2 July, is dedicated to works which involve a significant collaboration with Indigenous Australian musicians, including the didgeridoo virtuoso William Barton and the Ntaria Ladies Choir.

The performance of any piece of music is reliant upon many different points of collaboration and numerous contributions by many professionals, both musical and beyond. As for musical style and personality, again, there are many influences which make any composer’s work distinctive. In the case of the music of Ross Edwards, we can hear in his music the influence of his teachers and colleagues, such as Peter Sculthorpe and Anne Boyd. We can hear his own contribution to the musical language of composers he has mentored, such as Paul Stanhope. The Sunday Special on 25 June brings together Edwards’ music alongside the work of others so that we can explore the special sound of this particularly beautiful corner of the Australian classical music world.

The program culminates with Ross Edwards’ Symphony no 4, Star Chant, a work in which

we can hear the sounds of nature, ancient plainsong and the legacy of symphonic classical music. Binding these elements together is Edwards’ expression of his personal spirituality.

Written for a large orchestra with chorus, his Fourth Symphony employs a text written by the astronomer Fred Watson. Watson juxtaposes Western names for celestial features with their names from Arabic and Aboriginal languages. Edwards builds this text into a chant which gives the symphony a ritual quality, a quality that is one of the hallmarks of his style. For Edwards, ritual is about healing, both of body and soul, and his Symphony no 4 is perhaps his strongest expression of this belief.

In the program on 6 July the composer, Andrew Schultz, draws upon traditions, musics and sounds which date back tens of thousands of years. Engagement with Australian Indigenous culture involves negotiations of trust which are essential to making an ethical and truthful work. The truth of relations between European and Indigenous Australians is not always comfortable, however, a point brought home in the opening work of this program Kalkadungu

by William Barton and Matthew Hindson.

Barton is a virtuoso didjeridoo player, singer and composer of Kalkadunga heritage. The Kalkadunga led a 15-year long resistance to European encroachment on their land, a

Andrew Schultz

resistance only broken by a massacre of 200 people by the Queensland police in 1884.

Kalkadungu is a musical retelling of this story which features Barton as soloist. Premiered in 2008 by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra conducted by Richard Gill, the performances were electric and received standing ovations.

The recording from these live performances went on to win the ARIA award for best Classical Recording in 2012. In successfully relating this terrible moment in the history of the Kalkadunga people, the work demonstrates the ability of all Australians to work together in building respect and understanding of both our shared history and shared ideals for the future.

Andrew Schultz’ cantata, Journey to Horseshoe Bend, is based upon T.G.H Strehlow’s account of the last journey of his father, the Christian missionary Carl Strehlow, from the Aboriginal Mission station at Hermannsburg, down the Finke River to Horseshoe Bend, where Strehlow died and was buried. The cantata is a sensitive collaboration between the Strehlow family, the Aranda people, the librettist, Gordon Kalton Williams, and the composer, Andrew Schultz. Musically its starting point is Strehlow’s translations of chorales by Bach into the Aranda language.

These translated chorales have now been sung in Hermannsburg for nearly a century and have become a part of the culture of the Aranda people there. The distinctive voices of the Ntaria Ladies Choir, are an integral part of the performance of this work, first heard singing Bach’s Sleepers Awake from Cantata, BWV140, near the opening of the journey.

The effect of their voices singing Bach in their language is both startling and moving, setting the tone for a journey through country that has biblical echoes as well as being grounded in the land and traditional beliefs of the Aranda people. The Cantata is a moving work which successfully bridges these two worlds with respect and understanding.

Please join us for Sunday Special on 25 June and 6 July at 3pm for these programs which explore some beautiful and meaningful works of recent Australian music.

NEGLECTED AUSTRALIAN COMPOSERS STEPHEN PLESKUN CHRONICLES DORIAN LE GALLIENNE’S LIFE Sonatina, also for two pianos, Joyce Greer became a champion of his music and they would often perform piano duets in concert and during radio broadcasts.

By the beginning of the 20th century, composers were emancipated from having to write music to directions from their traditional employers (the church and nobility). This made their lives more precarious as now they had to find a way of sustaining themselves on the merit and appreciation of their work without regular paid employment. Some composers found extramusical vocations; others sustained themselves by performing music or by teaching. One of the better options was to gain a position as a music critic for a periodical, as it would allow one to comment on the local music scene and to witness world-class touring musicians. This was an expedient which Dorian Leon Marlois Le Gallienne took when he wrote on matters musical for The Argus and The Age newspapers in Melbourne from mid-1954.

Born in Armadale, Melbourne on 19th April 1915, Le Gallienne did not complete his secondary education. Despite this, as a young adult, he began to gain a reputation as a fine pianist and an excellent cocktail shaker. His earliest compositions were for piano: Nocturne (1937); and, after having studied composition with Arthur Benjamin and Herbert Howells at the Royal College of Music, London in 1938-39, he composed Jinker Ride, Symphonic Study and Legend. He premiered the latter, for two pianos, with Joyce Greer at the British Music Society rooms in Melbourne. After he composed 44

In 1943, Le Gallienne completed a Flute Sonata which he and Erich Weiss premiered at the Assembly Hall in Melbourne. It was a success with more performances following including one before an admiring Eugene Ormandy. The Violin Sonata of 1945 was also premiered at the Assembly Hall but his greatest success came later that year when the Victorian Ballet Guild danced to his Contes Héraldiques (originally for two pianos but orchestrated in 1947) at the Melbourne Repertory Theatre. Over the next 14 years they gave a number of performances of the work.

Le Gallienne turned his attention to composing incidental music to plays: Hamlet, Othello and Macbeth by Shakespeare and The Rivals by Sheridan were notated in 1947. A year later he composed three Psalms for the Geelong Church Society before childhood friend Richard Downing and he purchased land at Eltham, Victoria and had a mud brick home built.

In 1951, Le Gallienne was granted a British Council Commonwealth Jubilee scholarship which entitled him to a year’s study and living expenses in Britain. A farewell concert at the Assembly Hall featured many of his diverse compositions before he and his mother embarked for London where he studied with Gordon Jacob. Mother and son found they could not afford London for long so moved to a small cottage in Surrey where Le Gallienne composed his Overture for orchestra in 1952. A Symphony was completed in the following year.

Upon his return to Melbourne, Le Gallienne resumed writing music criticism and was delighted that his Overture was given two performances by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra conducted by Eugene Goossens. Even more successful was the premiere in 1955 of his Symphony by the Victorian Symphony Orchestra conducted by Walter Susskind when Le Gallienne was recalled many times by the audience.

To a commission from the Victorian Ballet Guild, Dorian had another success in 1956 with Voyageur and a Duo and a Trio were composed in quick succession before he wrote the film scores to The Prize, Sebastian and the Sausages, Dance of the Angels and The Crucifixion between 1960 and 1962. He completed music to the first episode of the television series, The Adventures of Sebastian the Fox, but died suddenly of coronary sclerosis on 27th July 1963.

DORIAN LE GALLIENNE’S PLACE IN AUSTRALIAN MUSIC Rogell Covell, in writing sleeve notes for a recording which included Dorian Le Gallienne’s Sinfonietta, reviewed the composer’s place in the context of Australian music.

“Le Gallienne reached adulthood during a period in which the time-lag in musical awareness and change characteristic of Australia since its first settlement was largely unalleviated. Le Gallienne’s own music and his generous attitude as a music critic for Melbourne daily newspapers were important factors in aiding the growth of a reasonable degree of self-confidence among his contemporaries and juniors. His achievement was to select the materials and techniques of one of the more conservative European idioms of his time without losing the ability to make a recognisable personal statement and without succumbing to mere imitative facility.”

Roger Covell said of the Sinfonietta, and this comment may also characteristise much of Le Gallienne’s music, that ‘it conforms to the manner of some of the … more pastorally inclined figures among lesser English (British) composers of the years between World Wars I and II’. In other words, the music is enjoyable but not confronting. – Editor A program of Dorian Le Gallienne’s music may be heard at 1pm on 1 June.

A UNIQUE MUSIC SOCIETY THE SYDNEY MOZART SOCIETY’S LEGACY BY LAURA-JAY MATHISON 1950, while working as a french polisher for Amalgamated Wireless he, along with several other Sydney music lovers, founded the Sydney Mozart Society.

“It is quite an achievement that the voluntary organisation formed 67 years ago is still able to provide the community with the opportunity to hear, year on year, a showcase of the depth of professional talent present in Australia’s musical life”, says current President of the Sydney Mozart Society, Richard Coleman.

When David Worobin OAM emigrated to postwar Sydney from England, he immediately saw a need for concerts performing music of the ‘golden age’ of chamber music. Born in London to parents who emigrated from Russia, he had a deep knowledge and appreciation of music, especially music of Mozart’s era. In

The Society is not for profit, funded by members and run by volunteers. It presents an annual program of six chamber music concerts, performing music of the 18th and 19th centuries. It also has a long association with Fine Music. Soon after the station’s launch in December 1974, David Worobin began presenting a Tuesday concert program featuring his favourite pieces, followed by a weekly Sunday afternoon mainly-Mozart program named Amadeus, which was later presented by Martin Cooper OAM (the current Artistic Director). By all accounts, David Worobin was delighted with Fine Music and the opportunities it afforded, remarking, ”It’s given so many an opportunity to participate and they’re such a very amiable, dedicated group of people”. David Worobin retired as President at the age of 90 in 1992 and the role passed to Martin Cooper who was, to the regular audience, the ‘face’ of the Sydney Mozart Society for over 20 years.

The Society’s first ventures were small concerts in private homes. One businessman even converted part of his home into a small

baroque theatre for this purpose. Concerts are now held in the Concourse Concert Hall, Chatswood. Most of Australia’s leading chamber groups have performed with Sydney Mozart Society and distinguished Australian violinist Donald Hazelwood AO OBE, also a Patron, was a frequent performer at the Society’s concerts in various ensembles over the years. The Society has also collaborated with Sydney Musica Viva Younger Group and the Australia Ensemble and it currently sponsors the Ryde Eisteddfod.

Current President Richard Coleman says: “We have valued over the years the opportunity for many of our concerts to be recorded by Fine Music FM volunteers, providing an historical record of music performed locally by many artists. The inspiration across the generations of chamber music of the 18th and 19th centuries, with Mozart at its core, will always endure.”

Listen to Fine Music at the Mozart Society at 2pm on Friday 23 June featuring music recorded over the years at Sydney Mozart Society concerts by Fine Music volunteers.

CD Review Photos of Peter Tahourdin (1928-2009) show a rational, spry, inquiring expression which is mirrored in the nature of his music. The varied nature of his five symphonies speaks further of a curious mind but he wrote in many forms, including the operas Heloise and Abelard and The Tempest.

ELEGY Reflections on the music of Peter Tahourdin Johanna Selleck; Robert Schubert; Rachel Atkinson; Danaë Killen; Southern Cross PO/ Gerald Gentry MOVE MD 3414

✶✶✶✶

Here, Capriccio for piano has the energetic argument of a composer with something to say. The emotionally melodic Sonata for clarinet and piano recalls that he rejected modernism, feeling it didn’t communicate directly enough. There’s nothing rigidly conservative about his voice as San Diego Canons proves: recorded percussion sounds, electronically manipulated, producing a shimmering, glimmering soundscape.

In Elegy the use of tam tam seems histrionic, distracting from the string writing which has an astringent but lyrical quality similar to Tippett or Rawsthorne although the second

movement’s percussion does complement the edgy string rhythms. Closer to the spirit of Britten than Bach, Music for Solo Violoncello has bowed and plucked material creating the impression of a conversation.

Music for Solo Flutes has one player changing between C flute and alto flute: undoubtedly working better in recorded than live performance! Trio for Clarinet, Piano and Violoncello (2003) begins as the most cerebral of the collection until it dissolves ironically into the Shaker melody Simple Gifts. Tahourdin was a pioneer of electronic music in Australia but the spirit of Isaac Asimov seems to haunt the synthesised sounds of Three Mobiles.

Altogether, this is a diverse collection of music from a composer worth remembering.

Legend has it that Bob Crosby in describing his band’s music once said: “Other bands play swing, we play jazz!” Its orchestrated Dixieland, blending the sound of a big band with that of a small group, proved popular with swing fans: only one orchestra was more popular in 1937 and that was Benny Goodman’s. Crosby was blessed with having two first-class arrangers who could also write more orthodox swing instrumentals, Bob Haggart, also a songwriter of note, and Matty Matlock, an excellent clarinettist. It was blessed with a strong group of soloists, the best being the New Orleans pair Irving

and reliving memories as I listen to the melodic improvisations of Houston Person, one of the warmest tenor saxophonists in jazz. Melody is his companion no matter when or where he plays as he wraps his big, soulful sound around the music. As he says in the liner notes: “The song just stands on its own. I was just thinking of the composers and the melody and how great these songs are”. This 1998 date sums up not only why I play so much of his explorations of the Great American Songbook on my weekly program, After Hours, and why I am still searching through his long catalogue on this label for more.

Understatement is the key to this session; only occasionally (as on Our love is here to Fazola (clarinet), who had one of the most beautiful rounded sounds in jazz, and the melodic Eddie Miller (tenor saxophone).

Other standout soloists were trumpeters Yank Lawson and Billy Butterfield and the pianists Bob Zurke and Jess Stacy. But I must disagree with the disc’s claim it contains the Crosby aggregation’s 52 finest recordings.

Why feature Crosby, an adequate singer at best, with the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra and trifles with his brother Bing, the Andrews Sisters and a teenage Judy Garland at the expense of The Old Spinning Wheel, Ja da (featuring Stacy), At the Jazz Band Ball, Sugar Foot Stomp and Original Dixieland One Step which no comprehensive collection should be without. But despite my criticisms this is an excellent compilation with added who proves an ideal foil. But more importantly, as far as I am concerned, it marks a welcome return by her to the classic songs of The Great American Songbook with which she first made her name with the music of Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and Richard Rodgers. Was it worth the wait? You bet! Here she bookends the album with the Benny Carter-Sammy Cahn standard Only trust your heart and the romantic love song If I had you written in 1928 by Irving King and Ted Shapiro. Calmly reflective, Kent’s soft, light voice is as stylishly sophisticated as ever, showcased to perfection by the immaculate, minimalistic backing. There are only two other musicians on the date besides Menescal: Kent’s husband Jim Tomlinson

stay) does the tempo rise above the slow, dreamy mood which is set by the opening track, Jimmy Van Heusen’s But beautiful and ends in the same vein with Sammy Cahn’s Time after time. He has used this first-class rhythm section (pianist Richard Wyands, bassist Ray Drummond and drummer Kenny Washington) before, and again, they serve him well, both individually and collectively. The under-rated Wyands shows his class as he stretches out on Mean to me. A session like this only reinforces why harsh, cutting edge sounds mean so little to me. This is the intimate side of jazz.

- Kevin Jones

bonus of the the orchestra’s wonderful small group, The Bob Cats, whose music sounds as fresh and exciting as when I first heard it so many years ago.

- Kevin Jones ( his smoky tenor recalls Stan Getz and he has now added alto flute to his repertoire) appears on five of the 12 tracks and bassist Jeremy Brown on two. Tangerine and No moon at all swing nicely but it’s the ballads which hold the spotlight. Slow and gentle, they have a relaxed after hours feel, making them the perfect antidote to the stresses of modern day living. The softer she sings, the more feeling she puts into the lyric especially on In the wee small hours of the morning where Tomlinson’s tenor sets, and later accentuates, the heart-broken mood to perfection. Each track is a gem. In ending I can only repeat myself: this is a lovely album.

Don’t miss it!

WHY I LOVE MUSIC

by Isabella Woods, former Presenter at Fine Music as told to Randolph Magri-Overend

I think that the love of music is often passed on from person to person and I have been very blessed by this. A child of a large family, I grew up surrounded by a love and appreciation of all sorts of music but particularly classical music from both sides of the family. My father’s side includes several gifted amateurs and my mother’s has many professional

musicians. One of my grandmothers was a concert pianist and whenever we visited her, the house was filled with the sounds of either BBC Radio 3 or her playing the piano. She would either play on her own, or accompanying others, or in duets (sometimes trios) with other musicians. My early memories of sitting by the fire before bedtime while listening to Chopin, Bach, Brahms and many others being played wonderfully, filled me with an appreciation of skill and complexity. It also engendered, among other emotions, wonder, fascination, beauty, peace, and contentment.

For me, music always brings about all sorts of pleasant feelings including nostalgia.

Furthermore, music can bring comfort and healing. As a Christian I would say it always brings me closer to God. Conversely certain songs or pieces of music can evoke unhappy memories.

I became a performer, singing (professionally) and playing the flute and piano. I particularly enjoy the physical sensation of singing:

the breathing (which is a good well-being discipline); the production of sound; the concentration required, especially when sightreading. I enjoy the sense of accomplishment when a piece is performed well and the joy it brings to listeners. I love the shared experience of playing or singing together as part of a group in orchestras, bands or choirs in either a classical or other settings such as jazz or rock. It is about enjoying creating something together. Even if I dislike a piece of music I know that it can teach me something. I always find a didactic quality to a performance of music, not least in knowing a bit of a composer’s life struggle and what he achieved.

I am in awe of the beauty of skilled musicians who are capable of creating and sharing, as well as elevating souls and, in the process, bringing people together. I feel hugely privileged to be able to enjoy this, both as a listener and as a performer.
