MEET THE ORCHESTRA: CARNIVAL OF DANGEROUS CREATURES MSO 2019 TEACHING AND LEARNING GUIDE – 5 SECTION 3 A WORD FROM OUR ARTISTS SARAH MORSE CELLO, MSO Q: The Swan is perhaps one of the most recognisable movements from Saint-Saens’ Carnival of the Animals. What are your memories of the piece? A: My very first memory of this beautiful piece is hearing my mother practicing it! A few years after, it was my turn to learn it. It describes the beautiful movement that a swan has as it glides across the water; its elegant neck reaching down into the reeds and its majestic wings as it takes off in flight. Saint-Saëns has perfectly captures this noble creature in his music. ROB COSSOM PERCUSSION, MSO Q: Fossils offers a wonderful showcase of the percussion section. Tell us about the part, and what’s needed to play it effectively. A: Fossils is a really lovely little xylophone solo –a beautifully evocative of a heap of dry bones clattering and dancing across the room. It is lots of fun to play but is not without danger! The notes on a xylophone are small targets and easily missed. This can be very embarrassing and leave me looking for a deep hole to hide in... MATTHEW HINDSON COMPOSER, DANGEROUS

  • Re-Routing Power Relationships in Music
    Prof. Liza Lim, University of Sydney Luck, Grief, Hospitality – re-routing power relationships in music Keynote for ‘Women in the Creative Arts’ conference, ANU, 11th August, 2017 I would firstly like to acknowledge the First Australians on whose traditional lands we meet. I pay my respects to the Ngunnawal custodians and their elders, as well as to other Indigenous elders and emerging leaders here. I also want to acknowledge our senior women in Australian music – the composers, performers, organisers – whose work and contribution allows us to build this conversation about gender equality today. I feel very honoured to be invited to give a keynote and thank Natalie Williams, the conference committee and ANU for creating this space in which we might think together. I’m a great believer in the distributed and ecological nature of thought. I think individual ideas arise in a partnership with a surrounding fabric of ideas. The communities we locate ourselves in are forms of off-board memory, cultural resource and intelligences, of extended brain power and so I see this conference as a way of strengthening our individual capacities for creativity, thought and action through a strengthening of our communities of creative women. As a composer, I make work that connects across very different scales of time and identity so I’m going to take a compositional and intersectional approach in this talk. My metabolism as an artist is shaped by my experiences as a woman in a long lineage of Chinese matriarchs; by being a traveller from a long train of migrants, and by formative experiences growing up in lands colonised by the British, like Australia and Brunei.
