  • The Quest for the Long White Whale: Nature Imagery in New Zealand Classical Music
    THE QUEST FOR THE LONG WHITE WHALE: NATURE IMAGERY IN NEW ZEALAND CLASSICAL MUSIC Peter Beatson [An earlier version of this article appeared in Sites 22:34-53, 1991, and was reprinted with illustrations the following year in Canzona.] INTRODUCTION This article weaves together three intertwining threads. Firstly and most importantly, it is intended as a modest contribution to the academic study of New Zealand classical music. For a very small country, we have an impressive line-up of composers, of whom 105 are listed in John Mansfield Thomson's 1990 Biographical Dictionary of New Zealand Composers, yet the discursive content of their work receives far less analytical attention in sites of intellectual discourse than their literary colleagues. The present article is not intended as anything like a total survey, but I have attempted in its course to introduce the names of a significant number of composers and their works to indicate in purely quantitative terms the size of this rather under-valued component of our national culture. Here, then, is the first thread: putting it simply, I just wanted to write something about New Zealand classical music! However, that initial impulse was a little too vague, inchoate and open-ended. To limit the field, and to give the discussion manageable structure and direction, I made the strategic decision to focus on just one theme, namely the ways in which the natural world is represented in our national music. I will therefore not be discussing self-referential, abstract music with no aspirations to be anything other than a sonata, quartet, symphony or whatever, nor programmatic works (such as operas and songs) with subjects other than nature.

  • Reinforced Concrete in the Architecture of Auckland's Town
    Concrete Complexities: Reinforced Concrete in the Architecture of Auckland’s Town Hall, Chief Post Office and Ferry Building Milica Madanovic University of Auckland Abstract Economic prosperity and the changed political circumstances resulted in increased building activity in the pre-First World War New Zealand. Auckland, the country’s largest city, was not an exemption. Queen Street, the main civic and mercantile axis of New Zealand’s capital of commerce, acquired three new landmark buildings, constructed simultaneously between the years 1909 and 1912. The three buildings – Auckland’s Town Hall, Chief Post Office, and Ferry Building – still remain important historic monuments of Central Auckland. Focusing on the materiality of the three buildings, this paper contributes to the study of early history of reinforced concrete in New Zealand. The relations between the innovative structural material and historicist architectural language of the three Queen Street buildings are discussed in context of the early 20th century socio-political and cultural circumstances. The paper demonstrates that there was no tension between the use of cutting edge construction technology for the structure and the Edwardian Baroque for the architectural envelopes of the three buildings. In fact, both the materiality and the architectural language were considered to be indicative of the development the city and the country were undergoing. Introduction The early 20th century marked a golden period in New Zealand history. The country’s economy was recovering from the 1880s and 1890s depression; the socio-cultural matrix was transforming as the old towns were growing; the transition of New Zealand from a colony into a dominion altered the political climate.

  • Pākehā Practice: Music and National Identity in Postcolonial Aotearoa/New Zealand by Liam Prince a Thesis Submitted to the Vi
    Pākehā Practice: Music and National Identity in Postcolonial Aotearoa/New Zealand By Liam Prince A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music in Musicology Victoria University of Wellington 2017 1 Abstract National discourses specific to Aotearoa/New Zealand — for example, biculturalism, which reimagines Māori-Pākehā relations as a partnership based on the Treaty of Waitangi — help to construct, express, and articulate connections between music and New Zealand identity. Yet unquestioned nationalisms — however benign or ‘official’ they seem — can marginalize some ways of being, knowing, organizing, and music-making, through their capacity to advance and reinforce undisclosed social values and political agendas. In this way, nationalism often disguises the consequences of those values and agendas. This thesis demonstrates how, by unproblematically invoking nationalisms for various purposes, significant New Zealand music-related institutions inadvertently reproduce Eurocentric national identity narratives which overlook the social, cultural, economic and political inequities of Aotearoa/NZ’s postcolonial present. Such narratives normalize conceptions of ‘New Zealand music’ dominated by historic and evolving cultural and economic connections between New Zealand society and the broader postcolonial Anglosphere. Consequently, identifications of ‘New Zealand’ culture and music often reflect dominant Pākehā norms, against which other musical traditions are contrasted. Several prominent ‘national’ institutions involved with music are examined through three cases studies. The first considers how state-supported music policies and agencies construct and legitimize economic, artistic and democratic ideologies as national values, and explores the consequences of a frequent failure to distinguish between a cultural identity, based on dominant Pākehā norms and values, and a culturally plural civic-based national identity.
