Good bookstores, good coffee ways of presenting existing music. It keeps us alive and good chamber-music - three of life’s essentials! artistically and, just like a good book, fires our imaginations. 2017 marks our 20th Subscription Series in Adelaide and we begin with one of our favourite composers - We are also delighted to move to our new Adelaide Claudio Monteverdi. Our journey continues through the Hills performance venue, the UKARIA Cultural Centre in year with musical friends Arvo Pärt, Bob Chilcott and Mt Barker - beautiful outlook, welcoming and friendly Carlo Gesualdo and concludes with one of the most atmosphere, wonderfully clear acoustic! loved works in the choral repertory - Handel’s Messiah - Carl Crossin OAM presented in our own intimate ‘chamber’ version within Artistic Director & Conductor the lofty, resonant expanse of St. Peter’s Cathedral. We’re also very excited to present three new works by Adelaide-educated composers Steven Tanoto and Anne Cawrse, and by one of the doyens of Australian composition, Graeme Koehne. PROGRAM 1 SATURDAY 3 JUNE, 6.30PM Pilgrim Church, 12 Flinders Street, Adelaide SUNDAY 4 JUNE, 2.30PM UKARIA Cultural Centre, 119 Williams Road, Mt Barker Summit Conductor Carl Crossin PROGRAM Il Pastor Fido madrigal cycle from Madrigals Books 5 - Claudio Monteverdi A selection of madrigals expressive of the joys and vicissitudes of life by Renaissance masters John Wilbye, John Bennett, Thomas Weelkes, Ludwig Senfl and Michael East Songs and Cries of London Town for chamber choir and piano duet - Bob Chilcott The Cries of London - Orlando Gibbons April in Paris - arr. Gene Puerling New Work - Steven Tanoto Heartbeat, breath, brain activity… these are vital biological ‘signs of life’. Laughter, tears, passion, joy, hard work, friendship, love… these are proof of life - as it happens. And proof of a life well-lived. Like a ‘life narrative’, this program contrasts the outer physical and commercial elements of daily life with the ebb and flow of our inner, emotional lives. PROGRAM 2 SATURDAY 26 AUGUST, 6.30PM Pilgrim Church, 12 Flinders Street, Adelaide SUNDAY 27 AUGUST, 2.30PM UKARIA Cultural Centre, 119 Williams Road, Mt Barker Summit Conductor Christie Anderson PROGRAM Seven Advent Antiphons - Bob Chilcott New Works - Anne Cawrse Seven Magnificat Antiphons - Arvo Pärt Arvo Pärt and Bob Chilcott – what a magnificent pairing! Each of the seven antiphons in these two works in is a description of Jesus Christ, his lineage and attributes. Set in Latin and German, all begin with the exclamation ‘O’. These two significant works by Pärt and Chilcott are very different in their musical expression of the traditional Advent antiphons and Anne Cawrse has taken elements that sit at the heart of the Antiphons - humanity, history, love, redemption - as the basis of her new works. PROGRAM 3 SATURDAY 21 OCTOBER, 6.30PM St. Peter’s Cathedral, 27 King William Road, North Adelaide SUNDAY 22 OCTOBER, 2.30PM UKARIA Cultural Centre, 119 Williams Road, Mt Barker Summit Conductor Carl Crossin PROGRAM Tenebrae Responsories for Maundy Thursday (1611) - Carlo Gesualdo Tenebrae Responsories on Songs by Bob Dylan (2011) - Paul Crabtree Miserere mei, Deus - James MacMillan New work - Graeme Koehne Bob Dylan’s song Positively 4th Street begins with the words “You’ve got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend…” What does this have to do with Carlo Gesualdo? Betrayal! Each in their own distinctive way, Gesualdo and Crabtree both reflect upon the acts of treachery that led to the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. This most powerful narrative also finds expression in a new work by Graeme Koehne, and the falling of Passiontide’s deep shadow finds solace in James Macmillan’s inspired Miserere. PROGRAM 4 SATURDAY 25 NOVEMBER, 8PM St. Peter’s Cathedral, 27 King William Road, North Adelaide SUNDAY 26 NOVEMBER, 2.30PM St. Peter’s Cathedral, 27 King William Road, North Adelaide Conductor Carl Crossin Messiah - George Frideric Handel Handel’s Messiah has been an integral part of the extended celebration of Christmas in English speaking countries for well over a century. Our intimate, ‘chamber’ performances of this perennial masterpiece are distinctive not only because of the vitality, clarity and drama of the choruses, but also because the arias and recitatives showcase the impressive solo credentials of the members of Adelaide Chamber Singers. Accompanied by an ensemble of some of Adelaide’s finest Baroque musicians, this will be a Messiah to savour.

  • 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.

  • Natural Music Including the Annual Carols on Campus Held in Bonython Hall in December
    Earthsong Frank Ticheli Frank Ticheli, an American composer, residing in Los Angeles California, known for his orchestral, choral, chamber and concert band works. He is also a Professor of Composition at the University of Southern California Earthsong is one of the very few works that was composed without a commission. It was composed out of Ticheli’s personal needs and longing for peace during the war in Iraq. Ticheli felt he had to write the poem himself because it was not just a poem but a prayer, a plea or wish to seek inner peace in a world tinted by war and hatred. The poem is a declaration of the power of music to heal. Ticheli also adapted the wind ensemble edition of the Earthsong from his choral setting. Come To The Woods Jake Runestad Jake Runestad, a Minneapolis, Minnesota based American composer known more for his opera, orchestral music, choral music and wind ensemble albeit he composed for a wide variety of musical genres and ensembles. Come to the Woods for SATB and piano with text by John Muir was commissioned by Craig Hella Johnson and Conspirare. It was premiered at St. Martin’s Lutheran Church, Austin, Texas on May 9, 2015. Come to the Woods explores Muir’s inspirations from the whispering of the wind, power of a storm, the light, the clouds and all his encounters while exploring the outdoors. Carl Crossin OAM is a graduate of both the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and the University of Adelaide and is widely respected as one of Australia’s leading choral conductors.

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.
