Catalogue of Works Barry Peter Ould
Catalogue of Works Barry Peter Ould In preparing this catalogue, I am indebted to Thomas Slattery (The Instrumentalist 1974), Teresa Balough (University of Western Australia 1975), Kay Dreyfus (University of Mel- bourne 1978–95) and David Tall (London 1982) for their original pioneering work in cata- loguing Grainger’s music.1 My ongoing research as archivist to the Percy Grainger Society (UK) has built on those references, and they have greatly helped both in producing cata- logues for the Society and in my work as a music publisher. The Catalogue of Works for this volume lists all Grainger’s original compositions, settings and versions, as well as his arrangements of music by other composers. The many arrangements of Grainger’s music by others are not included, but details may be obtained by contacting the Percy Grainger Society.2 Works in the process of being edited are marked ‡.

Higdon Rhythm Stand by Jennifer Higdon pays tribute to the constant presence of rhythm in our lives from the pulse of the world around us, celebrating the “regular order” we all experience, and incorporating traditional and nontraditional sounds within a 4/4-meter American-style swing. In the composer’s own words: “Since rhythm is everywhere, not just in music (ever listen to the lines of a car running across pavement, or a train on a railroad track?), I’ve incorporated sounds that come not from the instruments that you might find in a band, but from objects that sit nearby—music stands and pencils!” For Angels, Slow Ascending (2014) ................................. Simon The composer describes his inspiration and intention for the piece: In December 2013, we watched in silence and shock as a massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., claimed the lives of 27 people, including 20 young children. -
Canzona Peter Mennin Wednesday, October 7, 2015 - 8 P.M
PROGRAM NOTES Mother Earth David Maslanka “Praised be You, my Lord, for our sister, Mother Earth, Who nourishes us and teaches us. Bringing forth all kinds of fruits and colored flowers and herbs.” WIND ENSEMBLE -St. Francis of Assisi Eddie R. Smith, conductor Canzona Peter Mennin Wednesday, October 7, 2015 - 8 p.m. MEMORIAL CHAPEL American composer Peter Mennin chose this title in homage to the Renaissance instrumental forms of that name. Like the canzoni of Gabrieli, this work features Mother Earth David Maslanka contrasting, antiphonal statements from opposing voices; Mennin has combined (b. 1943) that with modern harmony and structure. The work was commissioned in 1950 as part of an effort by Edwin Goldman to develop a significant repertoire for Canzona Peter Mennin concert band. Mennin wrote six symphonies, concertos, sonatas and choral works. (1923-1983) Canzona is the only piece he wrote for concert band. David Moreland, conductor Variants on a Mediaeval Tune Norman Dello Joio Variants on a Mediaeval Tune Norman Dello Joio “In dulci jubilo” is a melody which has been used by many composers. Dello Joio Andante moderato (1913-2008) was inspired by it to compose a set of variations consisting of a brief introduction Allegro deciso and theme follow by five “variants” which send the mediaeval melody through five Lento, pesante true metamorphoses contrasting in tempo and character.

Percy Grainger, Frederick Delius and the 1914–1934 American ‘Delius Campaign’
‘The Art-Twins of Our Timestretch’: Percy Grainger, Frederick Delius and the 1914–1934 American ‘Delius Campaign’ Catherine Sarah Kirby Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Music (Musicology) April 2015 Melbourne Conservatorium of Music The University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper Abstract This thesis explores Percy Grainger’s promotion of the music of Frederick Delius in the United States of America between his arrival in New York in 1914 and Delius’s death in 1934. Grainger’s ‘Delius campaign’—the title he gave to his work on behalf of Delius— involved lectures, articles, interviews and performances as both a pianist and conductor. Through this, Grainger was responsible for a number of noteworthy American Delius premieres. He also helped to disseminate Delius’s music by his work as a teacher, and through contact with publishers, conductors and the press. In this thesis I will examine this campaign and the critical reception of its resulting performances, and question the extent to which Grainger’s tireless promotion affected the reception of Delius’s music in the USA. To give context to this campaign, Chapter One outlines the relationship, both personal and compositional, between Delius and Grainger. This is done through analysis of their correspondence, as well as much of Grainger’s broader and autobiographical writings. This chapter also considers the relationship between Grainger, Delius and others musicians within their circle, and explores the extent of their influence upon each other. Chapter Two examines in detail the many elements that made up the ‘Delius campaign’. -

Karel J. Husa
Karel J. Husa August 7, 1921 – December 14, 2016 Cornell and the Department of Music mourn the loss of Karel Jaroslav Husa, Kappa Alpha Professor Emeritus, who passed away at his home in Apex, North Carolina. He was born in Prague. Over the course of his long and illustrious career, Professor Husa was the recipient of several honors. These included the Pulitzer Prize in 1969 (for his String Quartet No. 3); the Grawemeyer Award, the most lucrative prize in classical music, in 1993 (for his Cello Concerto); and, in 1995, the Czech Republic’s highest civilian recognition, the State Medal of Merit, First Class. He also received nine honorary doctoral degrees and numerous other composition prizes and fellowships. Commissions came from some of the major arts organizations in the country, including the Koussevitzky Music Foundation, the New York Philharmonic (twice), the Chicago Symphony, and many others. As a conductor, he worked with major orchestras throughout Europe, Asia, and America, and as a guest conductor on many college campuses. Several of his works have entered the modern repertoire, led by Music for Prague, 1968 (commissioned for wind ensemble by Ithaca College, where he also taught from 1967 to 1986, and later transcribed by the composer for symphony orchestra), with over 7,000 performances to date. Husa’s music has been frequently recorded on major classical music record labels. As a child, he studied violin and piano. He was also an avid painter (as he continued to be throughout his life), and hoped to pursue art study; however, his entry to the Prague Academy of Art was barred by its closure with the Nazi takeover of Czechoslovakia in 1939.
