    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.

So, we begin 2014 full of vibrancy and creative energy with virtuoso Baroque choral music of the highest order - the complete motets of J. S. Bach.

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.
