ACO-114+Baroquevirtuosi Iphone NATIONAL TOUR PARTNER The Baroque period was one of great change and is famous for its elaborate fi ne detail in sculpture, architecture and music. The creativity that fosters this kind of innovation continues today. For over 55 years Transfi eld has applied similar creativity to the many engineering projects it has pioneered and today our investment in solar energy technology continues that tradition. Transfi eld’s founder, my father Franco, recognised a very clear link between the creativity expressed in art and that which is applied in business. In 2011 we celebrate the 50 year anniversary of the establishment of the Transfi eld Art Prize, an award created by Franco, which led to the founding of the Biennale of Sydney. Next year marks the 18th Biennale and Transfi eld is proud to remain its founding partner. Transfi eld has supported the ACO for over a decade. In that time Richard Tognetti and his wonderfully talented musicians have not only inspired Transfi eld, they have captivated local and international audiences with their delicately crafted and uniquely magnifi cent music. As Chairman of the ACO, it is a privilege to welcome you to this performance of Baroque Virtuosi.

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.

At a personal level, my gratitude goes to Judith Foster and John Davis for the professional guidance and encouragement they have given me over the past 20 years. I would also like to acknowledge my colleagues at the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA), particularly Scot Morris and Dean Ormston, for their support and unending flexibility in allowing me to balance the demands of work and study. APRA’s commitment to the broader music sector is second to none, and I have been fortunate to benefit from the many and diverse ways in which they make this passion for music manifest. I am grateful to each of my supervisors – Roger Dean, Greg Noble and Liam Magee – for the individual support they have provided, and for collectively taking on the unique challenges of supervising research which crosses disciplines and institutes. Throughout my candidature I have appreciated the opportunities and support given to me by the MARCS Institute and its director, Kate Stevens. To the members of the Institute for Culture and Society’s (ICS) Bourdieu Reading Group, I thank them for the reliably entertaining search for post-Bourdieusian literature which achieved a modicum of consensus appreciation.

These 40 years saw a growth in the establishment of dance companies, resulting in many opportunities for composers to write original music for original dance works. The findings of original dance-music are tabulated in an extensive database giving details of 208 composers and over 550 music compositions written specifically for dance. Examples of choreographer and composer collaborative relationships and attitudes to each other’s artforms are discussed.

This thesis aims to establish the significance of Jan Sedivka on contemporary Australian string music. From his exposure to contemporary music in France, Sedivka performed and conducted twentieth century music in England for twenty-one years. Subsequently, he accepted a position at the Queensland Conservatorium, and from 1966, he taught and performed in Tasmania. There he established a Piano Trio that introduced contemporary music to the public, and was director of the String Summer Schools from 1971 to 1988 where students were exposed to contemporary European and Australian music.
