NOTES FROM THE EDITOR

Renée Geyer, Australian jazz and soul singer, has died aged 69 after complications following hip surgery. Her career spanned more than five decades, and she was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2005. In the course of this long career, she was able to work with world famous musicians such as Jackson Browne, Neil Diamond, Joe Cocker, Julio Iglesias, Chaka Khan, Sting, Jimmy Barnes, Paul Kelly, Sérgio Mendes, and Hoodoo Gurus. She had limited chart success, but released 15 studio albums and was still performing a month before her death in January this year. Lyndon Pike explores the life of this extraordinary singer.

You have almost certainly have heard of the Viennese Waltz maestros Johann Strauss Senior and Junior, but did you know that Johann Strauss the Elder had three sons, Johann, Josef, and Eduard, all musicians, and at the height of the family’s fame, three orchestras? Michael Morton-Evans traces the highs and lows of this prodigiously talented dynasty, from Johann Senior’s low-class beginnings as the son of an inn-keeper, through his André Rieu-style fame, to the tragic death of Josef who fell off the podium one night severely damaging his brain. Now what does the international public speaking and chairmanship organisation Rostrum have to do with our volunteer radio station, you may wonder? A few years ago, our Director of Operations, Mona Omar, approached presenter Ross Hayes suggesting a Rostrum club be started at 2MBS Fine Music, but unfortunately, the Covid pandemic delayed the inaugural meeting until August last year. Now, after 11 meetings, we confidently expect our application to become an official Rostrum club will be accepted; Ross Hayes describes in more detail how this development will benefit our presenters and their communication skills.

Enrico Caruso: A tenor with heart

At the height of his career in the first decade of the 20th century, Enrico Caruso was the most famous man in the English-speaking world, his voice not merely recognised in every notable opera house, but everywhere where anyone possessed a gramophone.

Born in Naples, he was at the age of 11 apprenticed to one of the city’s mechanical engineers – but that didn’t last long. When his voice broke, it turned out to be a vibrant and pleasing tenor, and he began collecting lire as a street singer. Ten years later, schooled by a somewhat obscure but clearly talented teacher, he was singing minor roles at the city’s Teatro Nuovo, and in 1900, aged 27, he made his début as a principal at La Scala, Milan, as Rodolpho in La Bohème, under the great conductor Toscanini.

He was soon in demand in Europe, singing at the Royal Opera House, then the Teatr Wielki in Warsaw, and on to the Bolshoi and the Mariinsky in Russia, before eventually reaching New York and the Metropolitan. But his world fame was established before all that – off-stage. In April 1902, in an hotel room in Milan for a fee of a hundred pounds, he sang ten numbers into a recording device. The resulting disks, issued only a decade after the first commercial records had gone on sale, became best-sellers all over the western world, as did many of the 240 more he made during his career. This ensured that his remarkable voice was immediately recognised the moment the needle hit the shellac.

His first appearance at Covent Garden, in 1902, was in Rigoletto with the world’s highest-paid soprano, Nellie Melba. Their collaboration became famous, though she considered him a boor and he thought her stuck-up – hence the famous occasion when during the first act of La Bohème he ensured that Melba’s hand was not frozen by pressing into it a hot sausage. His sense of humour was basic, and indeed he was a simple man. Caught in the

famous San Francisco earthquake, as he rushed through the wreckage of his hotel, he was heard to vow that he would never return to a city where ‘disorders like this are permitted’.

Caruso defined his career simply: one only needed ‘a big chest, a big mouth, 90 per cent memory, 10 per cent intelligence, lots of hard work and something in the heart.’ The heart, certainly: no-one else ended Vesti la giubba from Pagliacci with quite such a heart-rending sob. His repertoire of over 500 popular songs brought out a sentimentality which his art made not only tolerable but moving. His colleague Richard Tauber asserted that there was no living tenor with a voice which could stand comparison with Caruso’s: ‘it makes me realize how little I have achieved.’

A heavy smoker of strong Egyptian cigarettes, in December 1920, while on-stage at the Metropolitan, he suffered a throat haemorrhage; after only four more performances he returned to Italy, recovered somewhat, but died on 2 August 1921. The great soprano Rosa Ponselle said of him, ‘When you speak of tenors, you must divide them into two groups. First, Caroso – then all the rest’.

Hubert Clifford: A true pioneer

Paul Cooke surveys an early Australian symphonist

Hubert Clifford’s Symphony 1940 was something of an anomaly among his compositions. While his body of work contains fantasies and rhapsodies, suites and serenades, his symphony is far more ambitious in scope and structure, and more than twice as long as any other of his compositions apart from his String Quartet of 1935, which had a half-hour duration and was described as displaying ‘enviable fluency and assurance’.

Clifford was born in 1904 into one of the pioneer families of Briagolong in Gippsland, an area later evoked in Dargo: a mountain rhapsody in music reminiscent of E.J. Moeran. In 1924 he graduated from the University of Melbourne with a science degree, but his interest in music was stronger: in 1923 he had taken part in a performance of Arthur Bliss’s Rhapsody conducted by Fritz Hart for the British Music Society. He then studied under Hart at the Melbourne Conservatorium, while taking on conducting duties with the Victorian Opera Company and amateur dramatic societies, composing a number of orchestral works.

His early compositions were hesitant. In the opinion of the Melbourne Age, Clifford’s A pageant of youth, dedicated to Hart, relied on ‘melodious themes with pleasing orchestral effects, but tuneful music in sectional formation hardly constitutes a concert overture’. Voyage at dusk, similarly, needed continuity and development to give it cohesion. Dargo, however, completed in June 1929 and premiered the following year, was much more favourably received, with the Argus very generous in its praise: not only was the harmonic scheme ‘often original and beautiful’ but ‘…the whole composition bespeaks a love of natural beauty and a real sense of that kinship with nature which has been the mainspring of such of the finest artistic endeavour and achievement.’

It may be that had Clifford remained in Australia he would have built upon his growing reputation. However, on the advice of his teacher Fritz Hart, he travelled to Europe to continue his music studies, studying at the Royal College of Music with Vaughan Williams, so once again he had to establish himself. Clifford spent much of the 1930s at a school in Kent where, under his direction, the school orchestra won first prize five years running in the Queen’s Hall competition. He himself won the Cobbett Prize for ‘an orchestral suite of moderate difficulty suitable for performance by school orchestras’ for a work which became known as A Kentish Suite. With this experience, he was well qualified to write The school orchestra: a comprehensive manual for conductors, which featured Adrian Boult posing for a series of ‘baton-track’ photographs designed to show a would-be conductor how to beat time.

During this time, he also began work on what would become his magnum opus, a symphony. It was completed in the summer of 1940 in an air raid shelter, and discussed with Vaughan Williams in his air raid shelter as bombs exploded all around. It wasn’t until Australia Day in 1945 that the BBC was able to ‘for the first time broadcast a symphony by an Australian composer’. A year later Symphony 1940 was performed in the Sydney Town Hall, together with other Australian compositions. A review in the Daily Telegraph (admittedly the organisation behind the concert) suggested that “Clifford has absorbed and digested what he has learnt from Vaughan Williams and his other masters, and now concentrated on creating a personal utterance, an entirely original style”. But Clifford’s life was about to take an unexpected turn, into film soundtracks and ‘light music’…

Dear hopeless Romantics

Iris Zeng writes a love letter to Berlioz and Tchaikovsky

Roses are red, violets are blue Sugar is sweet, music is too

Traditionally, St Valentine’s Day is a chance to spoil lovers with roses and chocolates. The regal womaniser himself, Henry VIII, declared 14 February an official holiday, and for the past 600 years, love has been celebrated across the world on this day.

But on 14 February in 1847, the 43-year-old Hector Berlioz left for St Petersburg without a word to his lover, Marie Recio, and stayed there for three months. Such impulsiveness might be expected from a composer who fanned many fiery love affairs, from the young Camille Moke, whom he once planned to shoot after discovering her infidelity, to Harriet Smithson, the Beloved behind his Symphonie fantastique.

As a 24-year-old, Berlioz had become infatuated with the Irish actress Harriet Smithson after seeing a production of Shakespeare’s Hamlet in 1827, confessing: “The impression made my heart and mind by her extraordinary talent, nay, her dramatic genius, was equalled only by the havoc wrought in me by the poet she so nobly interpreted.”

For four years, he dreamt of no-one but Smithson – he wrote letters, sent flowers and even rented an apartment near hers, to no avail. Tortured by unrequited love, he composed his programmatic masterpiece in 1830.

Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique depicts an artist who falls madly in love with a woman who snubs him. After overdosing on opium, he hallucinates that he murders her and is beheaded under the guillotine. Throughout the five movements, an idée fixe recurs as a motif of love. This morbid, romantic gesture was not lost on Smithson, whom he eventually married in 1833. But their marriage ended in bitterness, jealously and Berlioz’s affair with 19-year-old pianist Moke.

Another hapless composer who wrote some of the most romantic music was Pyotr Tchaikovsky. On 20 February 1877, Tchaikovsky’s first ballet Swan Lake premiered at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. It told the tale of Prince Siegfried and Odette, a princess cursed and turned into a swan by the evil sorcerer Baron von Rothbart. To break the spell, a man had to pledge his heart solely to Odette.

The original choreography by Julius Reisinger featured a happy ending, where Siegfried fights von Rothbart and destroys his spell, allowing him and Odette to marry – although to date, many ballet companies have since added new variations.

Around this time, Tchaikovsky married Antonina ‘Nina’ Milyukova, a piano student whom he found ‘absolutely repulsive’, having made this apparently flippant comment to his brother Modest almost a year earlier: ‘From today I seriously intend to enter into lawful matrimony with anyone at all.’ Tchaikovsky frankly told his wife he could not love her, being homosexual. However, he promised to be her devoted friend. Within weeks of marriage, he suffered a nervous breakdown and fled to Switzerland.

Tchaikovsky’s desire to have a normal family life was never fulfilled, but he took many lovers over the years, including his nephew Vladimir Davidov and his former pupil and violinist Iosif Kotek, to whom he supposedly dedicated his Swan Lake ballet.

Alas, without love torturing these Romantic composers, we’d be the poorer for it.

Love comes in all guises, Tuesday 14 February, 2:30pm

Renéessance Woman

With a career spanning 15 studio albums and 50 years of live performances, Renée Rebecca Geyer was a musical tour de force; a groundbreaking Australian icon who let nothing stand in the way of musical excellence and her refusal to buy into the trappings, treatment and expectations of female recording artists in a male dominated industry.

Renée arrived on the Australian music scene not with a bang, but with a slow smoulder. A Jewish girl from Sydney’s Dover Heights with a burning desire to make her mark in music, she had a selfassuredness that was likely inherited from her European parents Edward and Ella. Ella, a Holocaust survivor, was from Slovakia; Edward was from Hungary. They met in Palestine after World War II.

In her late teens, she performed with Sydney acts Dry Red and progressive jazz rock outfit Sun, whose album was produced by jazz entrepreneur Horst Liepolt. It was after relocating to Melbourne, the city Renée considered to be the real hotbed of the sound she was chasing, she began striking out as a solo artist, quickly garnering the attention of her peers and idols. She released her self-titled debut album in 1973 and quickly became known for her amazing soul voice, which to this day is unmatched in this country by any other white performer. Renée described herself as ‘a white Hungarian Jew from Australia sounding like a 65-year-old black man from Alabama’.

During the early 70s, Geyer became known for her reinterpretations of black US soul and blues songs such as Ain’t No Sunshine, Born Under a Bad Sign and most notably It’s a Man’s Man’s World by James Brown, all of which she performed on the popular underground music television series GTK. Her performance of the James Brown song was a response to Helen Reddy’s popular feminist anthem, I am Woman. “I hated it!”, Renée declared once in a press interview. The one artist she always refused to cover was her idol, Aretha Franklin, claiming “You just don’t go there, you know. Aretha – she’s untouchable.”

Critic and friend Ed Nimmervoll, with whom Renée wrote her autobiography Confessions of a Difficult Woman in 2000, once stated, “Finally, Australian rock music had a female icon.” Throughout the 70s, Renée released a series of albums with backing by players from some of Australia’s most accomplished blues and rock acts including Chain, The Meteors, Mother Earth, and Focus. She had moderate chart success with songs like Heading in the Right Direction, which went on to become a signature tune for her entire career.

Her 1975 album recorded as The Renée Geyer Band, Ready to Deal, was featured in The 100 Best Australian Albums published by Hardie Grant Books in 2010. “It’s worth noting,” the authors pointed out, “that this was the first time a woman in Australia had co-written and co-produced an entire album. In terms of gender roles and sheer chutzpah, the album was ground-breaking.” Worth noting also was the banning of the album’s single Sweet Love, with radio believing its first line was ‘I just want to copulate’; Renée claimed she was singing populate.

It was during the late 1970s that the US beckoned, and Renee toured there on the back of the Heading in the Right Direction single, sharing management with Marvin Gaye and astounding US radio stations when they came to discover that she was a white woman from Australia. Geyer demanded they put her ‘big, pink Australian Jewish face’ on the cover of the single, whereupon the same radio programmers quickly lost interest, with Geyer later blaming her marketing.

Renée never let anything stand in her way and her love affair with the States continued despite any real breakout success. She eventually settled in the USA for a time between the years 1986 to 1994 and although local chart success eluded her, her song Is it Hot in Here featured in the Julia Roberts movie Mystic Pizza. When asked why she felt she had never achieved the familiarity and fame attached to artists such as Olivia Newton-John or Helen Reddy, Geyer responded, “because I’m not a very well-behaved person”.

Indeed, her tenacious artist’s temper and forthright attitude, combined with a low tolerance for unprofessionalism and a world-weary view of the music industry became legend. Some fellow performers feared her, but with that fear came a huge amount of respect for an artist who was so talented she was able to work with world famous musical giants such as Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt,

Buddy Guy, Neil Diamond, Joe Cocker, Julio Iglesias, Chaka Khan, Sting, Men at Work, Ian McLagan, Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes, Paul Kelly, Stephen Cummings, Dragon, Sérgio Mendes, Even, Toni Childs, Hoodoo Gurus, and Russell Morris.

Too popular for the underground and too underground for pop, Geyer played and recorded jazz, blues, reggae, funk, pop, rock, and soul music. Even when chart success was nonexistent, she was always there. Releasing albums, performing show after show, Renée was never a heritage act because she never went away. It took until 2005 for the Aria Hall of Fame to recognise her legacy, her friend and boss at Mushroom Records Michael Gudinsky announcing her as “the greatest female singer of my lifetime in Australia … yes, you’re a difficult woman, but you’re bloody fantastic”.

Diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009, Renée refused to cancel shows during her treatment. The fact that she was still playing to packed rooms a month before her passing in January of 2023, is a testament to her bull headedness and desire to do the thing that made her the monolith of musical talent that she remained until the very end. Asked if she’d swap her life for anything else, in an interview for The Australian in 1986, Geyer replied, “I can’t do anything else. I don’t enjoy anything else. That’s two big reasons to stick with it.”

The Strauss DynastyWaltz Kings of Vienna

By Michael Morton Evans

The trouble with composing light music is that it is so easily forgotten. Along comes another generation, moods change and out goes the old stuff in favour of the new. So what was it about the music of Johann Strauss the Elder and his three sons which has kept it popular for the past more than 200 years? The answer is twofold; Its pure quality and its utter craftsmanship.

Johann the Elder first set the scene. He was the son of a Viennese low-class riverside tavern owner and his wife. Born in 1804 he lost his mother at the age of seven, and then four years later, his father, whose body was fished out of the Danube. Nobody knew how it had got there. His father had recently remarried and he was now in the care of his stepmother. She acquired a new husband and it was he who recognised the boy’s fascination with music and bought him a cheap fiddle. Young Johann didn’t like his step parents much and when he was 16 he ran away. Largely self-taught, he found a job in a somewhat rickety dance band, where he made friends with another young violinist, a year older than himself, Joseph Lanner. They were to become both friends and competitors, forming a band of their own until a spectacular fight in 1825 saw them part company.

Johann always had a presence about him. The girls loved him. He was, in short, the André Rieu of his time. Now it’s true that it was Lanner who had invented the Viennese waltz by syncopating the rhythm of the somewhat clod-hopping Austrian Ländler, but it was Johann’s verve which drove audiences wild. By the mid-1820s Strauss was leading no fewer than three Strauss orchestras.

In September 1825 Johann married Anna Streim, a raven-haired gypsy beauty and the following month their first son, also named Johann, was

born. Dad was adamant that his son shouldn’t follow him in the profession, and forbade him to take music lessons, but young Johann, with help from his mother, secretly studied the violin and counterpoint. After all, what son wouldn’t want to follow in the footsteps of his famous father? To all intents and purposes young Johann was all set to become a book-keeper, but having passed his exams with distinction at the age of 19, he quit school and much to his father’s dismay started his own orchestra in competition. A rivalry which lasted until his father’s death in 1849, when he took over his father’s orchestra and merged it with his own.

After the Viennese got over the loss of the first Johann Strauss they accepted the second as his successor. Young Johann was now the undisputed Waltz King of Vienna.

And then there was Josef Strauss, the second son of Johann senior, a gifted and intelligent boy who suffered from extreme shyness. His father wanted him to be an army officer, but Josef said he couldn’t stand the thought of having to kill people. His mother said he should follow the family tradition, but Josef claimed that he was too ugly to stand up in front of people. He settled for a life as an engineer and architect, but when his older brother collapsed in 1853 of overwork, he was cajoled into taking over the band. He was such an unexpected success that he took a crash course on music and began to write waltzes. By 1856 he was playing the violin, though he had never previously studied the instrument, and from then on he was the substitute conductor for the orchestra, both at home and abroad. All this and the invention of a revolutionary new mechanical street sweeper made him another household Strauss name.

Bringing up the rear was Eduard Strauss. Ostensibly he was the least gifted of the three sons. He wanted to be a writer, but it would appear he didn’t have much talent in that direction either. However, he was a competent violinist and by 1859, at the age of 24, he was entrusted with one of the Strauss’s three orchestras. Then, in 1870, following the death of brother Josef, who had been suffering from blackouts from overwork and fell off the podium one night severely damaging his brain, he became sole proprietor of the orchestras. By this time his older brother Johann was off concentrating on his operettas and spent less time on the podium. By all accounts he was very efficient, if a little dictatorial. But he was dogged all his life by jealousy of his elder brother Johann, and long after the latter’s death he burned hundreds of Johann’s papers. Irreplaceable manuscripts went up in smoke. Eduard claimed that Johann had told him to do it, but many suspected that it was an act of revenge. Many famous composers admired the music of the

Strausses, Johann Strauss the Younger in particular. Verdi, Bruckner and Brahms all were aficianados, and Wagner had a particular reason to be grateful, since Strauss would regularly include overtures and other operatic extracts of his in his programmes, at a time when the Vienna Opera didn’t want a bar of him.

There’s an interesting and untold story behind the Strauss family. Johann Strauss The Elder’s great grandparents, Wolf and Theresia Strauss, were Hungarian Jews. This fact was discovered in the 1930s to the great chagrin of the Nazis, who had held up the Strauss’s music as a typically German phenomenon. Hitler was said to be particularly fond of Strauss waltzes. They went to enormous, and ultimately successful, lengths to suppress the information.

Charpentier’s music for Le malade imaginaire, or The hypochondriac

The practice of writing music for a play or stage performance is not a new one. In 1673, MarcAntoine Charpentier composed incidental music for the new play Le malade imaginaire, or The hypochondriac, written by Jean-Baptiste Molière. The three-act play was Molière’s last, as he died shortly after its fourth performance.

The music composed by Charpentier was designed for the ballet that was incorporated into the drama. The comédie-ballet was a stage performance in the form of a play with sections of dialogue interspersed with sections of music and ballet. It was developed during the 1660s in a collaboration between Molière (the stage name of French actor and playwright Jean-Baptiste Poquelin) and Jean-Baptiste Lully. After a number of productions patronised by King Louis XIV, Le bourgeois gentilhomme of 1670 was seen by many as the pinnacle of the form.

Charpentier had not written for the stage when he was approached by Molière to compose the music for Le malade imaginaire. That Charpentier was working with Molière at all was the result of a dispute between Lully and Molière. The new decree by King Louis XIV, that Lully as the king’s musician should have control over all productions at the Palais Royal that incorporated music, led to a situation that became an insurmountable obstacle to further collaboration.

So, Charpentier effectively took the place of Lully in composing music for Molière’s play that had been written for production as a comédie-ballet. Charpentier’s music for Le malade imaginaire comprises a prologue entitled Églogue en musique et en dance and three interludes or intermèdes. The instrumentation he used is unusual for the time, with the percussion section at one point including an apothecary’s mortar. Other instruments include oboes, flutes and recorders and Charpentier incorporates a four-part string section, as distinct from the five-part writing used by Lully.

The play illustrates Molière’s insight into human nature and in the story of Le malade imaginaire he focuses on the medical profession. The hypochondriac Argan has called in two doctors who manage to terrify him with their learned jargon, and after various plot interweavings the play ends in the uncovering of deceit, with a ballet

Catherine Peake looks at music written for a comédie-ballet by Molière

Molière’s plays are not always performed with their original music, and more modern compositions often substitute for Charpentier’s score. The plays are even produced with no music at all, but as writer Nicholas Anderson says, “to witness [Le malade imaginaire] without the music is something of a disappointment, like eating an artichoke without sauce hollandaise. To bring together the music without the play is hardly less of a solecism since the various items are necessarily short-winded and the subtle speechmusic ratio on which the effect of both so much depends is rudely disturbed.”

Charpentier revised the original score of 1673 at least twice, changing the number of instrumentalists and singers to comply with the dictature musicale of Lully, who in his role of director of the Académie Royale de Musique was intent on retaining his powers over who and what could be performed. Charpentier’s music has held its own in the repertoire though, and as writer Gerald Fenech says, “it is still full of engaging musical invention and dramatic punch that has retained its freshness for nearly 350 years.”

Nina SimoneGifted and Black

By Louise Levy

Born Eunice Kathleen Waymon in 1933 in Tryon, North Carolina, Nina Simone came from a family filled with music. She was the sixth of eight children, and though her mother rarely showed any affection, she encouraged classical piano. By the time Nina had turned six, she had become the regular church pianist in Tryon.

Simone was soon studying classical music and developed a lifelong love of Johann Sebastian Bach, Chopin, Brahms, Beethoven, and Schubert. At her first recital, when she was 10, her parents moved from their seats to make way for a white family. She refused to perform until her parents could return to their seats. After that, ‘nothing was easy anymore’ said Simone in her 1991 memoir, I Put a Spell on You.

She earned a scholarship for a one-year program at the Juilliard School of Music in New York City, but was denied entry to the Curtis Institute of Music. She was deeply disappointed and blamed the injustice of being black.

She worked as a music teacher, and also worked in bars where she had to accompany her own singing. Fearing that her mother would disapprove, she adopted Nina (a nickname from a former boyfriend) and Simone (after the French actress Simone Signoret). Simone released her debut jazz album, Little Girl Blue, in 1958. It was a hit, and she moved to New York with her own vision of playing classical music.

In New York, she met James Baldwin, Langston Hughes, Lorraine Hansberry and Miriam Makeba. They became her political mentors. She married New York detective Andy Stroud, who became her manager, and in 1962 they had a daughter. But their life together was turmoil. She was professional with her work but was known for her

temper and outbursts of aggression. She enjoyed her greatest creative streak, recording a string of albums from Philips and RCA.

In 1963, Nina achieved her dream of performing at the Carnegie Hall, New York. Also in that year, she wrote Mississippi Goddam in response to the bombing of the Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. From then on, Nina started writing more Civil Rights protest songs.

One of Nina’s best-known songs, To Be Young, Gifted and Black, is a tribute to her friend Lorraine Hansberry, an African American playwright. Nina credited Hansberry with encouraging her to act on the injustices she felt and get involved in the Civil Rights movement. She wrote the song, Four Women, which confronted issues around body image and four stereotypes of black women.

In 1970, she and Stroud divorced. Simone left the United States and drifted for more than 20 years, eventually settling in France.

Ironically, the Curtis Institute of Music, which had rejected Simone back in 1950, named her an honorary doctor in 2003, two days before she died from cancer at her home in Carry-le-Rouet in France.

She left a profound mark on American Black music. In 2018, Simone was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Rolling Stone cited her achievements stating that ‘the euphoria pulsing through her voice spoke for itself’. She brought out the rage in her civil rights protest songs (Mississippi Goddam, Four Women), her pride in To Be Young, Gifted and Black, and her joie-de-vivre in her rendition of Ain’t Got No, I Got Life.

How Rostrum has helped improve 2MBS presenters

Rostrum, an organisation which teaches public speaking and chairmanship, began in Manchester, England, in 1923 and spread to Australia in 1930. It began as a means for businessmen to learn how to communicate effectively, and continues to this day with clubs throughout Australia for men and women.

People find this a friendly, enjoyable way to improve their confidence, public speaking, online presence and leadership skills by working with experienced coaches in a supportive environment to reach their personal speaking goals.

Sometimes the formation of something just happens organically. I have been a presenter at 2MBS Fine Music Sydney for 11 years and never really thought about starting a Rostrum Club. It was only when our Director of Operations, Mona Omar, approached me about starting a club that the seed was sown.

Mona joined our radio station as a paid marketing assistant and has progressively increased her responsibilities over the last six or so years. I have been her public speaking coach and she has been my social media coach. As her responsibilities increased, she identified the need to improve her speaking skills and suggested that we should start a Rostrum club at the radio station where we have five paid employees and over 200 volunteers.

After a Covid-induced false start, we had our first meeting on 31 Aug 22 and have been meeting regularly on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Wednesdays at 12 noon for one hour.

Because of Covid limitations, we needed to incorporate the facility to have a Zoom component to the meeting. Fortunately, 2MBS Fine Music Sydney has some excellent facilities to hold meetings and include those who, for whatever reason, cannot be there in person. We’ve now had our 11th meeting, the first for 2023, and expect that the February meeting of NSW Dais will approve our application to become an official Rostrum club.

In a typical display of can-do attitude, Mona Omar is our first President, and past Station Manager David James is our first Treasurer. Already, the willing participation of a number of presenters, programmers, and staff is producing excellent results with regular displays of highlevel speaking and chairmanship, as commented on by Rostrum coaches who have helped along the way. We expect that Rostrum will continue to provide training in communication skills to benefit the individuals and the organisation.

Everyone is welcome to join. For details about coming to the meetings contact Ross Hayes at hayesross0@gmail.com

2MBS Fine Music Sydney presenter Ross Hayes explains how the public speaking organisation has taken root in the radio station.

CD REVIEWS

Waters Caribé Independent

Saxophonist Gai Bryant maintains a busy performance and recording schedule with her hugely talented Cuban and Latino ensemble Caribé. The music on their latest release has much in common with contemporary jazz in composition and performance, blending Latin and jazz musicians and culture, enhanced with the very personal and distinctive sounds of the individual members of the group. James Greening’s trombone, Steve Marin’s drum kit and congas, Kit Windress on batá drums, and Gai Bryant’s soprano and alto, enhance the standout solos delivered by trumpeter Matt Collins, bassist Maximilian Alduca, tenor saxophonist Julian Gough, and Daniel Pliner on piano. This all results in a

joyous and fun celebration of music, well-sequenced and played through like a journey, exemplifying the warmth, sway, and rhythms of Cuban and Latino jazz with each track owning its soundscape structured by a single mind. Gai Bryant always knows exactly where she’s taking the music and how, with each piece having its unique underlying pulse. Throughout the album lies an uplifting playfulness that makes for joyous listening and dancing, with immersions of cha chá, steaming Caribbean rhumba rhythms, and chants sung by Adrian Medina. The album is available digitally via Apple Music and Spotify.

Felicity Wilcox:

Threading

MCD 636

the

light Soloists and Ensemble Move

Felicity Wilcox’s major composition, the chamber opera Threading the light, was completed and recorded in 2012 as part of her PhD in composition. It has now been released, spurred on by its recent world premiere performance by The Cooperative at Pitt Street Uniting Church. Its title, and those of its four movements (Light, Water, Blood and Fire), reference the importance of ritual in transcending worldly concerns. Texts (sung by three soloists, Alison Morgan, Jenny DuckChong and Mark Donnelly) come from many faiths and include two prayers written by her late brother, Gavin Wilcox, to whom the work is dedicated. Strings, in

both solo and ensemble settings, and percussion provide acoustic instrumentation. An electronic instrument, the samples of which are derived from Himalayan singing bowls, provides shimmering and transcendent tones which, tuned in just intonation, increasingly contrast with the equal temperament tuning of the ensemble: in ‘Water’, the acoustic instruments seem to rise naturally from their electronic bedrock; in ‘Fire’, there are dissonance, microtones, tension. I found listening to this a fascinating, immersive experience.

Rosemary Hodgson, lute Move

MCD 637

Rosemary Hodgson is an Australian lutenist who studied at the University of Melbourne and now teaches there. She has been releasing solo albums since 2004 and has also recorded with La Compania, an ensemble dedicated to the music of the 16th century. The North Norfolk village of Walsingham was a major centre of pilgrimage in the Middle Ages after a local noblewoman had a vision of the Virgin Mary. When the shrine was destroyed as part of Henry VIII’s dissolution of Catholic monasteries, a song circulated lamenting the loss of such a holy place. Inspired by this ballad, a

number of Elizabethan lutenists wrote variations on the tune, and Rosemary Hodgson has brought them together in this album, along with complementary pavanes and galliards. Byrd and Dowland are represented, but also less well-known composers, such as John Johnson and Edward Collard, who transformed simple material into works of art with sophisticated ornamentation and polyphony. This album explores themes of mysticism and pilgrimage with music that is both meditative and exquisitely played.

Semiramide has ruled for decades, after she had conspired with her lover, Assur, to murder her husband, King Nino. Now she is due to elect her successor. Assur assumes the crown is his, but is furious when Semiramide leaves it to the young officer, Arsace, whom she loves. Only the high priest Oroe knows that Arsace is actually the son of Semiramide and Nino, lost since his father’s murder.

Arsace learns his true identity from Oroe. He forgives his mother and goes to kill Assur. The battle takes place in darkness. Semiramide, struck by a wayward blow, dies. Assur is arrested and a devastated Arsace is declared king.

Having defeated Pompey's army at Pharsalia, Julius Caesar chases Pompey to Egypt. Pompey's son, Sextus, and his wife Cornelia, plead for peace which Caesar grants. However, army commander Achillas presents him with Pompey's severed head. Cornelia wants to kill herself but Curio the Roman tribune prevents her, admitting he loves her. Sextus swears revenge against the Egyptian King Ptolemy who betrayed his father. Meanwhile, Cleopatra plans to rule in place of Ptolemy. Achillas agrees to arrange Caesar's death in return for Cornelia's hand.

Cleopatra presents herself to Caesar as 'Lydia’. She wins his heart and agrees to help Sextus assassinate Ptolemy but Sextus is arrested and Cornelia put in the harem. Cornelia rejects both Achillas and Ptolemy. Sextus is freed and goes to the harem where he can ambush Ptolemy. Caesar is warned of Achillas’ plot against his life. Sextus attacks Ptolemy but is disarmed by Achillas who announces Caesar's death and Cleopatra's revolt. He demands Cornelia's hand but Ptolemy rebukes him. Ptolemy’s army is victorious. Cleopatra is captured and laments her fate. Achillas, mortally wounded, gives Caesar his seal to help him get into the palace to kill Ptolemy. Before dying, he confesses that the assassination of Pompey was his idea. Caesar rescues Cleopatra and Cornelia draws a dagger on Ptolemy. However, Sextus slays him first. Cleopatra becomes queen and Caesar and Cleopatra rejoice in their love. Da tempeste il lego infranto, from Julius Caesar, HWV17 (1724). Joyce DiDonato, mezz; Il Pomo d’Oro/Maxim Emelyanychev.

Operetta in the afternoon Prepared by Angela Cockburn

Sullivan, A. Iolanthe. Operetta in two acts. Libretto by W.S. Gilbert. First performed, London, 1882.

IOLANTHE: Regina Hanley, mezz STREPHON: Philip Blake Jones, bar PHYLLIS: Elizabeth Woollett, sop QUEEN OF THE FAIRIES: Jill Pert, cont LORD CHANCELLOR: Richard Suart, bar D’Oyly Carte Opera Ch & O/John PryceJones.

TER Classics CDTER2 1188 1:31

The fairy, Iolanthe, marries a mortal, although this is forbidden by fairy law. She bears a son, Strephon and, 25 years later, she visits him on Earth. Strephon wants to marry Phyllis, a ward of Chancery. All the members of the House of Peers also want to marry Phyllis. When Phyllis sees Strephon hugging a young woman (not knowing that she is his mother as immortal fairies all appear young), she assumes the worst and sets off a climactic confrontation between the peers and the fairies. Although Iolanthe is not allowed by fairy law to contact her husband who is now the Lord Chancellor, she appeals to him on behalf of their son that he be allowed to marry Phyllis. Iolanthe’s punishment from the Fairy Queen is execution. Meanwhile, the other fairies have become strongly attracted to the peers and the peers to the fairies so she would have to execute all of them. The Lord Chancellor suggests a law change that all the fairies should marry mortals and the Peers happily go off to Fairyland with their chosen fairies.

Following the death of Tsar Boris Godunov, a new Tsar, Mikhail Romanov, is elected but the Poles launch an invasion planning to capture the new Tsar. The young Tsar is studying in a monastery near Ivan Susanin’s village. Sobinin wishes to marry Susanin’s daughter, Antonida, but their wedding plans are interrupted by the arrival of the Poles, demanding that Susanin lead them to the Tsar. Instead, Susanin leads the invaders into the forest. Sobinin leads a group of men to warn the Tsar who escapes capture. Realising that Susanin has deliberately led them astray, the Poles kill him and retreat. The Tsar is crowned, the people praise him and honour the bravery of Susanin.

20:00 AT THE OPERA Sucession

Prepared by Camille Mercep

Salieri, A. Tarare. Opera in five acts. Libretto by Pierre-Augustin Beaumarchais. First performed Paris, 1787.

NATURE: Judit van Wanroij, sop

GENIUS OF FIRE: Tassie Christoyannis, bar ATAR: Jean-Sébastien Bou, bar TARARE: Cyrille Dubois, ten ALTAMORI: Philippe-Nicolas Martin, bar ASTASIE: Karine Deshayes, mezz

CALPIGI: Enguerrand de Hys, ten Les Talens Lyriques/Christophe Rousset. Aparté AP208 2:45

In the prologue, the Universe decides that the human race has become corrupt and is in need of renewal. The allegory of Nature, assisted by the Genius of Fire, breathes life into two shadows: the first will be a sovereign, the second a soldier.

The actual story takes place 40 years later: Atar, the tyrannical king of the Persian Gulf kingdom of Ormus, is jealous of Tarare, the bravest of his soldiers, for daring to be happy when the king is not. He commands Altamori, son of the High Priest, to destroy Tarare’s home, abduct his beautiful wife Astasie and bring her to the harem. Not knowing who has kidnapped his wife, Tarare sets off to find her and seek vengeance. The king sends Altamori to accompany Tarare, but with secret orders to make sure he doesn’t come back alive.

Tarare learns that the kingdom is under threat and returns to defend it. He then discovers the truth of his wife’s fate and with the help of the Chief Eunuch, Calpigi, enters the royal palace in disguise to find Astasie, who is now known as Irza. He is discovered and sentenced to death together with his wife. The execution ceremony begins and Atar despairs when he sees that Tarare and Astasie show happiness even in the face of death. Calpigi suddenly appears with armed supporters of Tarare. A military revolt prevents the execution and deposes Atar, who kills himself. Tarare is raised to the throne to the rejoicing of the people.
