Organ Festivals in Australia 1968—1973
‘A strange madness’: Organ festivals in Australia 1968–1973 Ann Orriss Blore Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Music July 2011 Melbourne Conservatorium of Music The University of Melbourne ii Abstract In the six years 1968–1973 seventeen pipe organ festivals were held across four Australian cities, a phenomenon that had not occurred elsewhere. This thesis considers the activities of the small number of people who drove the festivals’ establishment, the newly-built ‘neoclassical’ organs and harpsichords that were integral to the festivals’ success, and the circumstances that brought these agents for change together. The period studied here was one of considerable movement— political, social, technological and musical. This thesis shows that the festivals were part of a wider generational push to embrace ‘the new’ in diverse areas. They resulted from a development of new interests among a disparate group of specialists, which fortuitously converged with those of an isolated but developing audience for ‘new’ musical experiences. Until the 1960s the organ in Australia was relatively isolated from mainstream music, its role mainly confined to liturgical functions. However in Europe the organ was undergoing considerable change as part of the organ reform movement that stimulated a reconsideration of organ building, taking into account the principles on which the historic instruments of the eighteenth century were constructed. Importantly, the organ reform movement also linked with and formed part of the concurrent early music movement. By the 1960s, sound recordings had made newly discovered historic instruments and their repertoire accessible to most Australian musicians and music lovers for the first time. -

'The Grand Guru of Baroque Music': Leonhardt's Antiquarianism
‘The Grand Guru of Baroque Music’: Leonhardt’s antiquarianism in the progressivist 1960s By: Kailan R.

Figures and/or pictures may be missing from this format of the document. *** Abstract: ‘The Grand Guru of Baroque Music’: Leonhardt’s antiquarianism in the progressivist 1960s In the 1960s, Gustav Leonhardt transformed from a locally successful Dutch harpsichordist into a global phenomenon. Ironically Leonhardt, an advocate for historical performance and building preservation, achieved critical and commercial success during an era marked by the rhetoric of social protest, renewal and technological progress. An analysis of Leonhardt’s American reception reveals paradoxes of taste, aesthetics and political engagement. Record company advertisements, interviews and other materials promoted Leonhardt not only as a virtuoso performer-conductor, but also as a serious and scholarly persona. Leonhardt’s recordings demonstrate an ‘authenticist’ stance, contrasting with the Romantic subjectivity of earlier Bach interpreters and the flamboyant showmanship of competing harpsichordists. Complementing this positioning were Leonhardt’s austere performances in Straub-Huillet’s 1968 film Chronicle of Anna Magdalena Bach, his advocacy for historical instruments, and his uncompromising repertory choices. -

Westfield Newsletter, Vol. XXIII, No. 1A, Gustav Leonhardt Special Issue
Newsletter of the Westfield Center, Volume xxiii, Number 1a A National Resource for the Advancement of Keyboard Music, Serving Professionals and the Public Since 1979 Special Issue (March 2012) GUSTAV MARIA LEONHARDT (MAY 30, 1928 – JANUARY 16, 2012) A PERSONAL TRIBUTE BY DAVITT MORONEY Photo: Lukasz Rajchert. By kind permission of International Festival Wratislavia Cantans, 46th edition. September 2011. hose of us whose lives have been touched by Gustav Leonhardt’s influence have had some time to prepare for his death. For several years it had been no secret that he was facing severe medical challenges. A few years ago, at Bruges, I was surprised to find my- Tself discussing matters of personal health with him over dinner. It was unexpected from a man I had always imagined would shun such an intimate topic. Having learned that I had recently been in hospital, he suddenly abandoned his reserve, with concern and genuine warmth, and was then frank and lucid about his own illness. With a grave sparkle in his eyes and the kind of wry smile he reserved for his own witticisms, he commented “yes, this is all rather a chal- lenge—more difficult, I think, than playing the Goldbergs!” It was typical of the man: the con- cern behind the cool façade, the understatement, the musical in-joke, and the self-deprecating seriousness that came from an unflinching honesty. – 1 – He seems to have confronted his illness, and its more recent inescapable recurrence, as a moral challenge. His fortitude in the last years was no doubt supported by his Protestant
