Band Corps. The thesis of the dissertation is how the world views of the soldier-musicians of the Australian Army Band, Kapooka, are constructed in the context of their work in military music performance. In arguing this thesis, the author provides a brief history of military music in Australia, and offers fieldwork reports which explore the nature of military rank and discipline, and the nature of soldier-musicians' work in military and civic ceremonial contexts, and in public entertainment.

Historical background The present-day seat of the Tunisian Academy is symbolic on more than one account. During the Husseinite era, it was called “Zarrouk Palace” because it was founded by the General Ahmed Zarrouk whose name was closely associated with the ruthless crushing of the Ali Ben Ghedhahem revolt in 1864, in the Sahel and Aradh regions. From 1943 to 1957, this Palace was the official residence of Mohammed Lamine, the last Bey of Tunisia. It was in that prestigious architectural building that a reception was given for Jules Ferry, who was to impose the French protectorate on the Regency of Tunis. It was also in that same building that a major event in the history of modern Tunisia took place : the solemn proclamation, by the French President Pierre Mendès France, of Tunisia‟s home rule After independence, the Palace became the property of the state.

" A History of British Military Music is much needed." So said the Musical Times some six or seven years ago and to-day, when military music and military bands are so much discussed, a work of this kind appears to be urgently called for. This volume, however, makes no pretence whatever to supply the want, but merely claims to be a history of one of the famous bands in the service, that of the Royal Artillery. The records of this band date as far back as 1762, when it was formed, and I doubt if there is another band in the army with a continuous history for so long a period.

  • The Sovereign's Birthday Parade
    THE SOVEREIGNS’ BIRTHDAY PARADES - SNAPSHOTS OVER TWO CENTURIES By Colin Dean, former Band Secretary, Irish Guards The origins of the parade popularly known as Trooping the Colour are believed to date from around the beginning of the nineteenth century. Guard Mounting took place daily on Horse Guards Parade prior to the King’s (or Queen’s) Guard for the day marching to St. James’s Palace (later Buckingham Palace) to take over the duties. The custom developed of augmenting this parade on the Sovereign’s birthday by including the flank companies from the three regiments of the Brigade of Guards, as well as the Household Cavalry who took part prior to riding under the arch to become the King’s (or Queen’s) Life Guard. King George III 1809: A report in the Morning Post of the 19th January 1809 makes what appears to be the first documented reference to the three Foot Guards bands being together on Horse Guards Parade: ‘Yesterday morning the Duke of Gloucester attended with the Dukes of York and Cambridge, on the Parade in St. James’s Park, to inspect the battalion of Grenadiers*, previous to their mounting guard. At the same time a very novel and grand military spectacle was exhibited, as we believe, never was displayed before; the whole of the numerous Bands of the three regiments of Foot Guards attended, with new state uniforms on. The first and second Bands wore new jockey velvet caps; the three Bands marched as far as the entrance to the Stable-yard; the first and third Bands went on with the King’s Guard, and the second proceeded to the Queen’s Guard, near the Queen’s Palace’.

  • Erdmann Neuparth Music in War, the Peninsular War in Music, and the History of a Military Musician a Presentation by Maria João Albuquerque, Phd
    Erdmann Neuparth Music in war, the Peninsular War in music, and the history of a military musician A presentation by Maria João Albuquerque, PhD We all remember the haunting music from Kubrick's Barry Lyndon film as the Red Coats walk towards their enemy, men falling, shot at point blank range as the martial music plays on. This type of music was used to communicate orders to soldiers in battle or to control troops in formation on the battlefield. There are two or even three types of historical traditions in military bands. The first is military field music - which includes bugles, trumpets and horns, bagpipes, or fifes and almost always drums. With the development of the keyed trumpet or the saxhorn family of brass instruments, a second tradition of woodwind brass military band was formed. They played at military parades, military reviews, military tattoos, or more importantly, boosted the “esprit de corps” or morale of the troops. A third type, that of a mounted band, served cavalry or mounted artillery, or if a police-band, a specific unit or brigade. Each regiment in the British Army (scores were shown identifying the similarities between British and Portuguese music sheets) maintained its own military band. Until 1749, bandsmen were civilians who were hired at the expense of the colonel commanding a regiment. Subsequently, they became regular enlisted men who accompanied the unit on active service to provide morale-enhancing music on the battlefield. Instruments during the 18th century included fifes, drums, the oboe or hautbois, the French horn, clarinet and bassoon. Drummers summoned men from their farms and villages to muster for duty.

  • Un' Aura Amorosa", This Concerto Explores Atmosphere Does Not Last, and the Opening Music Themes of Intimacy
    Un’ aura amorosa Love’s delights and dilemmas 25 January – 9 February 2014 Presented by Apollo Music Trust and Richard Cock Music Enterprises ARTISTIC DIRECTOR: FLORIAN UHLIG CONTENTS Welcome Message 5 The Festival at a Glance 6 Composer-in-Residence 2014: Clare Loveday 12 Scholarship Programme 20 The Festival in Detail 23 Biographies Soloists 52 Ensembles 76 Tickets 84 Venues 85 Imprint 86 Sponsors & Partners 87 www.join-mozart-festival.org 3 4 DEAR FRIENDS OF THE JOHANNESBURG INTERNATIONAL MOZART FESTIVAL, In what must be one of Mozart’s best known and most beautiful arias, “Un’ aura amorosa” (from his opera Così fan tutte), Ferrando, one of the characters, suggests that “a breath of love from our trea- sures is sweet sustenance for our hearts. A heart nourished by hope and love has no need of a greater lure.” Well, if things were only that straightforward… I would like to welcome you very warmly to the sixth edition of the Johannesburg International Mozart Festival which will deal with all sorts of amorous fare – not only by Mozart, of course. The opera title Così fan tutte, by the way, literally means “Thus do all [women]” and is popularly used to mean “That’s what women are like”. Well, if things were only that straightforward… I am thinking that our fi rst ever female Composer-in-Residence this year, Clare Loveday, may have a bone to pick with Lorenzo da Pon- te, Mozart’s librettist. It is a huge privilege for us to be joined by Clare who will bring her many talents and experiences to the Festival, not only as a composer, but also as a performer, researcher, university lecturer, workshop leader and as an artist with a keen interest in interdisciplinary and collaborative work.

  • THE UNIVMITY of SHEFFIEM Vol=E One Jack L-Scott
    THE UNIVMITY OF SHEFFIEM Department of Music The Evolution of the Brass Band and its Repertoire in Northern England Vol=e One Thesis presented for the degree of Ph. D. Jack L-Scott 1970 t(I Acknowledgments IV The time spent in research on this project has been invaluably enriched by the willing assistance of so many. I am grateful for the opportunity of being able to examine the instrument and music collections of the Sheffield., York Castlep Keighley,, Cyfarthfa and East Yorkshire Regimental museums. Acknowledgment is also given for the assistance received from the Sheffield Central Library (commerce and science and local history departments), Eanchester Central Librarys and espec- ially for the British Museum Reading Room and the University of Sheffield Main Library staff. From a practical point, acknowledgment is given to Boosey and Hawkes for a generous research grant as well as an extended personal tour of their facilities and to the University of S%effield research fund. Visits to 'Wright and Round, publishers of brass band music, have also been rewarding. Active partici- pation with the Stocksbridgep Sheffield Recreation and Staveley Works brass'bands has also proved valuable as well as the associ- ation with mmerous other bands,, notably Stalybridges and countless bandsmen. Finallys appreciation is expressed to the faculty, staff and students of the music department. The loss of Dr. Phillip Lord was a personal loss; the guidance of Professor Deane has been an inspiration. To my vifep Jan. and the childrenp go my special thanks for their patience and understanding. Jack L. Scott Sunmar7 vil The initial English amateur wind bands were reed bands which developed from the numerous military and militia bands prevalent during the beginning of the nineteenth century.
