Each of us has special gifts and talents. Reach out to those in your state association and volunteer to help in whatever way you can. Working and sharing together we can impact the future of music in America! There is no greater time for us to support music and the arts than now with the budget cuts that so many local and state governments are facing. In addition to attending the Georgia MTA Conference, we hope you will make plans to attend the 2013 MTNA National Conference in Anaheim, California, March 9-13.

I highlight how an exploration of the ‘national voice’ constitutes both an idealisation of musical sound and national belonging. Through voice, I offer not only a new methodological approach to the question of musical nationalism, but also an understanding of its embodiment through concepts of gender and sexuality.

    The International Euphonium Tuba Festival 2017 Adam Frey Depends on Yamaha. “The YEP-842S combines incredibly precise tuning, superb response and an evenness of tone that is unmatched…exactly what I need as a musician.” Welcome to our 14th Anniversary of the International Euphonium and Tuba Festival!! Each year, I am reminded about the inspiration that my teachers and fi rst conferences brought to me. That slight (or dramatic) nervous feeling to be speaking with one of my musical idols!! I was always motivated and my goals galvinized, but I was also a little frazzeled! I try to recreate these opportunities for the participants of the IET Festival each year and it in turn continues to motiviate and energize me. Thank you for being a part of this event and hope it does for you what it has done for the many others: create a lifetime of friendships, a trail of inspiration that may led to professional musicial employment, and help players be the best they can be!!

  • Robert David Anderson 1927 – 2015
    ROBERT DAVID ANDERSON 1927 – 2015 Classical scholar, Egyptologist and musician 1 Robert David Anderson was born in 1927 in India (his father was a tea planter) and died in London on 24 November 2015, at the age of 88. Not a publicly famous man, Robert was nonetheless a man of immense intellectual ability, capable of storing in his mind the full musical scores of the master composers as well as of interpreting ancient Egyptian scriptures and ruins and making historical sense of them. Scholar of Harrow School and Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge – where he read Classics and Egyptology – Robert enjoyed twin careers in the field of Egyptology and music. After graduation and military service in Palestine, where he fell in love with Arabic culture and the Middle East, he was appointed Director of Music at Gordonstoun School in Scotland, where, shortly after he left, Prince Charles received his school education. As an Egyptologist, he was for twelve years (1971-1982) Honorary Secretary of the Egypt Exploration Society, managing its excavations in Egypt and its activities programme in London, where he also taught hieroglyphics extramurally and produced the third volume, on musical instruments, of the British Museum’s Catalogue of Egyptian Antiquities. He excavated at Saqqara, and at Qasr Ibrim in Nubia, where he was Administrative Director of the Society’s dig, with special responsibility for finds of written material – including bilingual texts that enhanced current knowledge of mediaeval Nubian, the longest passage so far discovered of poetry by the first Roman governor of Egypt, Cornelius Gallus, and homilies and biblical fragments from what had once been the cathedral library.

  • The Role of Jan Sedivka in the Development of Australian
    THE ROLE OF JAN SEDIVKA IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF AUSTRALIAN CONTEMPORARY STRING MUSIC BY ELINOR FRANCES MORRISBY B.Mus., Prague Conservatorium, 1973 M.Mus., Prague Conservatorium, 1975 Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Tasmania, Hobart August, 2009 DECLARATION OF ORIGINALITY This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information that is duly acknowledged in the thesis, and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis, nor does the thesis contain any material that infringes copyright. This thesis may be made available for loan or limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. iii~~~' Elinor Morrisby 111 ABSTRACT Since the settlement of Australia, the creation, publishing and performance of its string music has faced the vicissitudes of an emerging society geographically removed from mainstream musical history and influences. This thesis aims to establish the significance of Jan Sedivka on contemporary Australian string music. From his exposure to contemporary music in France, Sedivka performed and conducted twentieth century music in England for twenty-one years. Subsequently, he accepted a position at the Queensland Conservatorium, and from 1966, he taught and performed in Tasmania. There he established a Piano Trio that introduced contemporary music to the public, and was director of the String Summer Schools from 1971 to 1988 where students were exposed to contemporary European and Australian music.
