ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my sincere appreciation to four New Zealand composers, Mr. Jack Body, Mr. John Psathas, Mr. Gareth Farr and Ms. Jenny McLeod. I would not even be able to have begun this research without their support. I enjoyed so much working with them; they were true inspirations for my research. My greatest thanks goes to my major professor, Dr. Read Gainsford, for his endless support and musical suggestions. I learnt not only how to be a great performer but also a great teacher. I will never forget these four years working with him; they will remain with me throughout my future professional career life. I also thank my committee members, Dr. Heidi Louise Williams, Dr. Joel Hastings, Dr. Evan Jones and my former committee member, Mr. Leonard Mastrogiacomo, for their tremendous kindness and encouragement. They always supported me in every step of my four years at Florida State University. I would also like to thank to my friends, Liz Remizowski and Nicole Riccardo who helped edit my writing. I would like to extend my appreciation to God who helped me get through this journey. Finally, my deepest appreciation goes to my family and my dear friend, Joong-Han Jung for their endless love and encouragement. ! ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ! "#!

  • A History of Music Education in New Zealand State Primary and Intermediate Schools 1878-1989
    CHRISTCHURCH COLLEGE OF EDUCATION LIBRARY A HISTORY OF MUSIC EDUCATION IN NEW ZEALAND STATE PRIMARY AND INTERMEDIATE SCHOOLS 1878-1989 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Canterbury by Susan P. Braatvedt B.A. (Natal), Dip.Arts (Auckland), B.A.Rons (Canterbury) VOLUME II University of Canterbury 2002 Chapter Five 1950-1968 266 The growth ofschool music Chapter Five 1950 -1968 The growth of school music "music is fmnly established as an integral part of the school curriculum."l 5.1 Introduction This 18-year period was dominated by the National Party except for one term when Labour was voted back into office from 1958? When the National Party took office in December 1949, they inherited an educational system in which school music had not been particularly well served. Robert Chapman comments: The underlying changes in the golden 1960s were social rather than political, technological rather than legislative, individual rather than public ....The tertiary education boom, television, and the contraceptive pill were transforming family and personal relationships as well as the method by which politics were perceived. Government expenditure underwrote the surging development of health and education ... 3 In chapter one section 1.2 it was pointed out that the influence of English music education endured for many years. It is in this period that we begin to see a development of a more innovative approach which was more eclectic in its character. 1 AE. Campbell, Director-General of Education, AJHR.

  • New Zealand Works for Contrabassoon
    Hayley Elizabeth Roud 300220780 NZSM596 Supervisor- Professor Donald Maurice Master of Musical Arts Exegesis 10 December 2010 New Zealand Works for Contrabassoon Contents 1 Introduction 3 2.1 History of the contrabassoon in the international context 3 Development of the instrument 3 Contrabassoonists 9 2.2 History of the contrabassoon in the New Zealand context 10 3 Selected New Zealand repertoire 16 Composers: 3.1 Bryony Jagger 16 3.2 Michael Norris 20 3.3 Chris Adams 26 3.4 Tristan Carter 31 3.5 Natalie Matias 35 4 Summary 38 Appendix A 39 Appendix B 45 Appendix C 47 Appendix D 54 Glossary 55 Bibliography 68 Hayley Roud, 300220780, New Zealand Works for Contrabassoon, 2010 3 Introduction The contrabassoon is seldom thought of as a solo instrument. Throughout the long history of contra- register double-reed instruments the assumed role has been to provide a foundation for the wind chord, along the same line as the double bass does for the strings. Due to the scale of these instruments - close to six metres in acoustic length, to reach the subcontra B flat’’, an octave below the bassoon’s lowest note, B flat’ - they have always been difficult and expensive to build, difficult to play, and often unsatisfactory in evenness of scale and dynamic range, and thus instruments and performers are relatively rare. Given this bleak outlook it is unusual to find a number of works written for solo contrabassoon by New Zealand composers. This exegesis considers the development of contra-register double-reed instruments both internationally and within New Zealand, and studies five works by New Zealand composers for solo contrabassoon, illuminating what it was that led them to compose for an instrument that has been described as the 'step-child' or 'Cinderella' of both the wind chord and instrument makers.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfîlming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the Him along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

Festivals like ours are a catalyst for change creating opportunities for artists to communicate with audiences and audiences to respond to artists’ work. Throughout the Festival you will find small threads that deal with our world today. We hope that the work in the Festival can make you think, laugh, scream a little and perhaps even cry. It has been a long journey for the opera The Bone Feeder to get from an idea to the stage. A number of years ago I saw Renee Liang’s play. I liked the surreal nature of it and thought it would make an interesting opera with its story in different worlds. I approached Renee, and was delighted she agreed to consider writing the libretto, which is an enormous step for a playwright.
