Through survey, interview and case study, the research aimed to reveal the attributes of the Australian Choral Conductor, particularly in relation to the skills and experiences that contribute to a conductor becoming an expert. The Australian Choral Conductor, it could be argued, is under valued and little understood. There are very few opportunities for Australian experts to remain as full time choral conductors within their own country. In some cases Australian conductors have moved overseas to take up choral conducting positions, and in the process have gained international recognition. This research investigated if there was a particular pathway to becoming a choral conductor, and if there were opportunities to remain as such within Australia. The research arose out of three defining moments in Australian choral music. These were the 1998 National Strategic Plan for Choral Development; and the 1998 ANCA survey research entitled ‘So you want to be a choral conductor?’ and the 1996 World Symposium of Choral Music in Sydney. Using a longitudinal frame, the research focussed on examining the cases of five eminent Australian musicians, probing areas of a conductor’s passion and reasons for becoming a choral conductor. The research also investigated the ways in which choral conductors’ training, knowledge and experience influenced their choice of repertoire and, in turn, their performance standard and level of expertise. The research examined whether there was a consistent way of determining how conductors’ choral practice is developed. The study went on to investigate why Australian conductors did not receive wider recognition as experts within the choral community, or within Australia in general. AUSTRALIAN CHORAL CONDUCTORS iii Finally, the study investigated whether any conductor could become an expert through a focus on the current training requirements of choral conductors. The implications for the broader sector, for conductors of choirs and for educators include building knowledge in the area, the potential to make informed decisions, and the requirements to be an expert choral conductor with high quality performances. The findings from the research may enable conductors and educators to adapt their approach to training and education in choral conducting and developing practices. This may, in turn, increase the capacity for conductors to perform suitable works and also develop their level of expertise. This further enriches the choral experience and supports greater opportunities for choral excellence. AUSTRALIAN CHORAL CONDUCTORS iv Declarations Statement of Editorial Assistance Professional editorial services have been used for this dissertation. Professional editors provided copyediting and proofreading services, according to the guidelines laid out in the university-endorsed national guidelines, ‘The editing of research theses by professional editors’. Statement of publication Results of the 2008 ANCA survey have been published in report form in the ANCA magazine Sing Out 28, 1. A copy of this article is provided in Appendix 6. Initial findings from this study will be presented as a spoken paper during the International Society of Music Education conference 2012 in Thessaloniki, Greece. Declaration of originality I certify that this dissertation does not incorporate without acknowledgement any material previously submitted for a degree or diploma in any university; and that to the best of my knowledge and belief it does not contain any material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made in the text. Signed: ____________________On: _____/____/_____ AUSTRALIAN CHORAL CONDUCTORS v Acknowledgements The researcher gratefully acknowledges the conductors who participated in this research. All were very generous with their time and were genuinely enthusiastic about having an opportunity to tell their stories and reflect on their experiences. It was a privilege for the researcher to interview each of these conductors and to be entrusted with interpreting their stories. Thank you for all your assistance and generosity. The researcher acknowledges the support and assistance from the Australian National Choral Association members and other conductors who completed the survey as part of this research. The results have provided great insight into the current choral community. Thank you to Dr Scott Harrison and Professor Peter Roennfeldt for your support, guidance and supervision of the research process and the final product. Thank you to my parents for their encouragement and never ending love, and for all the drafts they read to get this dissertation to where it is today. Finally, thank you to Graeme, for your incredible encouragement and everlasting support.

  • The Australian Symphony of the 1950S: a Preliminary Survey
    The Australian Symphony of the 1950s: A Preliminary survey Introduction The period of the 1950s was arguably Australia’s ‘Symphonic decade’. In 1951 alone, 36 Australian symphonies were entries in the Commonwealth Jubilee Symphony Competition. This music is largely unknown today. Except for six of the Alfred Hill symphonies, arguably the least representative of Australian composition during the 1950s and a short Sinfonietta- like piece by Peggy Glanville-Hicks, the Sinfonia da Pacifica, no Australian symphony of the period is in any current recording catalogue, or published in score. No major study or thesis to date has explored the Australian symphony output of the 1950s. Is the neglect of this large repertory justified? Writing in 1972, James Murdoch made the following assessment of some of the major Australian composers of the 1950s. Generally speaking, the works of the older composers have been underestimated. Hughes, Hanson, Le Gallienne and Sutherland, were composing works at least equal to those of the minor English composers who established sizeable reputations in their own country.i This positive evaluation highlights the present state of neglect towards Australian music of the period. Whereas recent recordings and scores of many second-ranking British and American composers from the period 1930-1960 exist, almost none of the larger works of Australians Robert Hughes, Raymond Hanson, Dorian Le Gallienne and their contemporaries are heard today. This essay has three aims: firstly, to show how extensive symphonic composition was in Australia during the 1950s, secondly to highlight the achievement of the main figures in this movement and thirdly, to advocate the restoration and revival of this repertory.

  • Masters File 5
    University of Adelaide Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Elder Conservatorium of Music Portfolio of Compositions and Exegesis: Composing for a Choral Spectrum Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music (MMus) by Callie Wood August 2008 225 Part B Exegesis Composing for a Choral Spectrum 226 B1 Exegesis: Composing for a choral spectrum. 1.1 RESEARCH QUESTIONS The research questions of this thesis were primarily addressed through practical experiments in choral music composition, which resulted in a portfolio of choral works covering a categorized choral spectrum ranging from very simple choral works for young children, to complex works for adult choirs of a professional standard. 1: What are the limitations for a composer in choice of text, text setting, choral groupings, and instrumental accompaniments when composing for a choral spectrum? 2: What are the limitations for a composer in regard to musicianship skills, aural skills, intonation skills, vocal range and ability when composing for a choral spectrum? Each of the works included in the portfolio addresses a particular aspect, or particular aspects, of the above research questions. To make the compositions especially suited to Australian choirs, the lyrics selected for all of the music have been written by Australian poets. To make the music accessible to a wide range of singers, all of the music for the portfolio is non-religious. Some of the compositions included in the portfolio were rehearsed, performed or recorded, which greatly assisted in the revision stage of the compositional process. However, arranging for all of the works in the portfolio to be performed and recorded was beyond the scope of this thesis.
