  • An Australian Composer Abroad: Malcolm Williamson And
    An Australian Composer Abroad: Malcolm Williamson and the projection of an Australian Identity by Carolyn Philpott B.Mus. (Hons.) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Conservatorium of Music University of Tasmania October 2010 Declaration of Originality This dissertation contains no material that has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University of Tasmania or any other institution, except by way of background information that is duly acknowledged in the text. I declare that this dissertation is my own work and to the best of my knowledge it contains no material previously published or written by another person except where clear acknowledgement or reference is made in the text, nor does it contain any material that infringes copyright. This dissertation may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Carolyn Philpott Date ii Abstract Malcolm Williamson (1931-2003) was one of the most successful Australian composers of the latter half of the twentieth century and the depth, breadth and diversity of his achievements are largely related to his decision to leave Australia for Britain in the early 1950s. By the 1960s, he was commonly referred to as the “most commissioned composer in Britain” and in 1975 he was appointed to the esteemed post of Master of the Queen’s Music. While his service to music in Britain is generally acknowledged in the literature, the extent of his contribution to Australian music is not widely recognised and this is the first research to be undertaken with a strong focus on the identification and examination of the many works he composed for his homeland and his projection of an Australian identity through his music and persona.

    - i - - ii - UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN QUEENSLAND The Impact of Australian Classical Music Record Labels on the Australian Music Scene A Dissertation submitted by Nicola N Hayden For the award of Master of Music May 2009 - iii - Abstract The impact of Australian classical music record labels on the Australian music scene is investigated in terms of the awareness and development of Australian classical music amongst the musical community, the careers of Australian composers and performers, and the investigation into which particular label is thought to have played the most prominent role in this regard. A review of those labels currently in production in Australia was undertaken and includes the labels ABC Classics, Australian Eloquence, Jade, Melba Recordings, Move Records, Solitary Island Records, Sydney Symphony, Tall Poppies, Revolve, Vox Australis, and Walsingham Classics. The aims and goals of the various labels are ascertained along with the nature of the catalogues of each label. A comprehensive survey of each catalogue is undertaken with reference to the content of Australian compositions represented on each label. In this regard Tall Poppies label represents the most Australian composers. A survey of members of the Australian musical community was undertaken in relation to the research aims. Responses were elicited regarding the level of the respondents‘ awareness of the existence of these labels and to measure the impact the labels have had on the respondents‘ knowledge of Australian classical music. In both cases it was confirmed that Australian classical record labels have increased the respondents‘ awareness and appreciation of Australian music. Composers who have had their works recorded on an Australian record label and performers whose performances have been recorded on such labels were asked to indicate how this experience had helped them in the launching or furthering of their careers.

    FRITZ HART: MUSIC FOR VIOLIN AND PIANO, VOLUME ONE by Peter Tregear Born in Brockley, South London, Fritz Bennicke Hart (1874–1949) stands as one of the more extraordinary figures of the so-called English Musical Renaissance, all the more so because he remains so little known. His mother was a piano teacher from Cornwall and his father a travelling salesman of Irish ancestry born in East Anglia. The eldest of five, Hart was not encouraged to pursue a musical career as a child, but piano lessons from his mother were later complemented by the award of a choristership at Westminster Abbey, then under the direction of Frederick Bridge – ‘Westminster Bridge’, as he was inevitably nicknamed. A year earlier Bridge had been appointed professor of harmony and counterpoint at the newly constituted Royal College of Music and in 1893 Hart would join him there as a student of piano and organ. In addition, in the years between his tenure as a chorister and his enrolling at the RCM, Hart had been introduced to both the music and the aesthetic philosophy of Richard Wagner and had also become a regular and enthusiastic audience member of the Saturday orchestral concerts held at the Crystal Palace and the RCM. It seems Hart quickly became better known at the RCM for his ardent interest in opera and music drama than for his piano-playing. Indeed, Imogen Holst credits Hart with having introduced her father, Gustav, to Wagner.1 But unlike Holst and other contemporaries, such as Ralph Vaughan Williams, John Ireland, Samuel Coleridge- Taylor and William Hurlstone, Hart did not formally study composition.

  • Composing Biographies of Four Australian Women: Feminism, Motherhood and Music
    COMPOSING BIOGRAPHIES OF FOUR AUSTRALIAN WOMEN: FEMINISM, MOTHERHOOD AND MUSIC Jillian Graham (BMus, MMus) Thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2009 Faculty of Music The University of Melbourne This thesis is dedicated with love to my children and to my mother Olivier and Freya Miller Pamela Graham ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines the impact of gender, feminism and motherhood on the careers of four Australian composers: Margaret Sutherland (1897–1984), Ann Carr-Boyd (b. 1938), Elena Kats-Chernin (b. 1957) and Katy Abbott (b. 1971). Aspects of the biographies of each of these women are explored, and I situate their narratives within the cultural and musical contexts of their eras, in order to achieve heightened understanding of the ideologies and external influences that have contributed to their choices and experiences. Methodologies derived from feminist biography and oral history/ethnography underpin this study. Theorists who inform this work include Marcia Citron, Daphne de Marneffe, Sherna Gluck, Carolyn Heilbrun, Anne Manne, Ann Oakley, Alessandro Portelli, Adrienne Rich and Robert Stake, along with many others. The demands traditionally placed on women through motherhood and domesticity have led to a lack of time and creative space being available to develop their careers. Thus they have faced significant challenges in gaining public recognition as serious composers. There is a need for biographical analysis of these women’s lives, in order to consider their experiences and the encumbrances they have faced through attempting to combine their creative and mothering roles. Previous scholarship has concentrated more on their compositions than on the women who created them, and the impact of private lives on public lives has not been considered worthy of consideration.

It re- evaluates Powell's production through the prism of his socio-political evolution from reactionary to Marxist. Within the photo-historical literature, he is defined as a participant in the mainstream Post-War Documentary Movement in photography. However, my research has revealed that Powell belonged to a cross- disciplinary nexus of creative thought. He was a member of the Australian Communist Party and his photographic production was all but confined to Socialist Realist journals. This Marxist affiliation imposed strictures on the way in which he engaged with subjects as well as the aesthetics of his work. He was also an active participant on the progressive ‘Arts Front’. An interest in expository film by the progressive Left tweaked a curiosity in Powell, which ultimately encouraged his move into documentary filmmaking.
