For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] VOICED IDENTITY: A STUDY OF CENTRAL CHARACTERS IN SEVEN OPERAS FROM AUSTRALIA 1988-1998 ANNE POWER A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 1999 Faculty of Creative Arts University of Wollongong II ABSTRACT Composers of Australian operas, in the decade from 1988 to 1998, have responded to social and political events through the medium of central characters. In each of the seven operas in the study, a character becomes the signifier of reflections on events and conditions that affect Australian society. The works selected are Andrew Schultz's Black River, Gillian Whitehead's The Bride of Fortune, Moya Henderson's Lindy - The Trial Scene, Richard Mills' Summer of the Seventeenth Doll, Alan John's The Eighth Wonder, Martin Wesley-Smith's Quito and Colin Bright's The Sinking of the Rainbow Warrior. These operas are studied in three groups to investigate issues that concern voices of women in the contemporary operatic genre, issues of cultural identity and issues of political protest.

    April 27, 2013 FESTIVAL SCORES INFORMATION TO DIRECTORS: 2013 South State Solo & Ensemble Festival Schedule Dear Colleagues, Congratulations to you and to your terrific students for a wonderful South State Solo & Ensemble Festival! I had a wonderful time watching my own students and many of your great students, as well as getting to see and visit with many of you! We have you to thank for the success of the festival—thank you for being so flexible, accommodating, and maintaining the marvelous spirit of Solo & Ensemble. It is a great day to be a music educator in Utah! On the next several pages are the scores from today’s festival, organized by school. The packets with the completed adjudication sheets and certificates and medals for superior entries will be mailed to you later this week. Please watch for these and distribute them as soon as possible. We invite all Seniors who earned medals to wear them proudly at graduation this year! Juniors and Sophomores may wear theirs when they graduate. Lois Johnson, the choral director at Lone Peak High School, and our site director today, has asked me to make you aware that there were many lost items turned in to the festival. There was some music left behind (a detailed list below), a few cell phones, and a hoodie for Tuacahn High School Orchestras. Please contact Josh Taylor at the UHSAA Main Office at (801) 566-0681 or at [email protected] about any of these missing items. We don’t anticipate there being any inaccuracies in this report, but if you do find some scores in this report that do not correspond to the scores on the individual adjudication sheets, please let me know so we can fix the situation as soon as possible so that we may get certificates remade if we need to before the end of the school year.
