First and foremost, the Foundation continues to deliver unparalleled new career opportunities for Australian artists through the quality and innovation of its releases. “Whilst I have recorded many CD’s with other labels throughout Australia and overseas, the opportunity to be supported and recorded with such magnificent sound quality, presented in a brilliant way, distributed throughout the world, reviewed by all the leading magazines, websites and newspapers covering CD’s in the world, and above all, to work with such a supportive Australian company turned the experience into a life changing opportunity….I have personally received the best and most influential reviews of my life since the release of my first disc with Melba, and I am equally confident in saying that many other fine and until recently unheralded Australian musicians can say the same for themselves.” Paul Dean, Artistic Director, Australian National Academy of Music and Melba artist “ These recordings have provided an unmatched opportunity for Orchestra Victoria to enhance its international profile. This, in turn, will make it easier for the orchestra to attract high quality conductors, thereby further developing the orchestra’s range and standards. With Melba recordings, it is not necessary for Australians to plead for attention that their work is “world class” or “global cutting edge”. International critics do that for us. Reviews in the leading music publications have been highly positive. We are particularly fortunate that we have in Australia (in Melba recordings) a recording label with the highest standards of professionalism and imagination.” Jo Beaumont, Artistic Director, Orchestra Victoria The market excitement generated by the release of Turbulent Heart, a world premiere recording of works by Vierne featuring Steve Davislim and the Queensland Symphony conducted by Guillaume Tourniaire has taken Melba to new highs of international awareness and acclaim. It was awarded with the Editor’s Choice awards in three European magazines and 23 ecstatic reviews. Melba is Australia’s classical label of excellence and a calling card for our artists and music culture around the world. Seven recordings were undertaken this year and four were released, including two featuring emerging artists. Releases included J.S. Bach Organ Sonatas, featuring the incomparable Christopher Wrench; Turbulent Heart with tenor Steve Davislim and The Queensland Orchestra conducted by Guillaume Tourniaire; Beloved of the Gods, featuring the young artists of the Tinalley Quartet and the Dean, Emmerson, Dean Trio. Also released was Volupté, a recording of viola music featuring Roger Benedict accompanied by the exciting young pianist Timothy Young. These releases were supported by launch and performance events in Brisbane and Melbourne, attended by special guests Bruce Beresford, Richard Bonynge Cheryl Barker, Michael Shmith and Guillaume Tourniaire and featuring performances by Tinalley String Quartet, Paul Dean, Timothy Young, Suzanne Johnston, Ray Chen, Kristian Winther, Benjamin Martin, Kevin Power, Joshua Bloom and Rosamund Illing. Melba Foundation Annual Report 2009 2010 Page 1 of 16 The total of 177 media reviews and features achieved this year exceeded forecast and overall sales targets have been met with sales revenues growing steadily. On the digital delivery front, the sound quality of portable devices continues to improve, although it still has some way to go to replicate the full sonic experience of a Melba CD. Until these sound quality issues are addressed, physical CD’s will continue to constitute the vast majority of Melba’s sales. Nonetheless, Melba’s entire catalogue was available for digital download this year as Melba is determined to be at the forefront of digital delivery. Melba continues to have the most extensive international distribution of any Australian label. The Foundation has worked to address the issue of reducing core operational funding from the Australian Government with a renewed effort in fundraising and marketing – an effort that has been successful. Our wonderful Patrons and Benefactors have extended their commitment to the Foundation and development revenue is significantly higher this year. Important events were hosted by Lady Potter, Mrs Jeanne Pratt, ANZ and at Government House Melbourne and Brisbane. However, in order to maintain output at an average of at least seven quality recordings per year – the level of activity at which Melba’s market presence can be of benefit to Australian artists – core operational funding is required. Melba’s flexibility and innovation in the face of rapid technological and market changes have propelled it to a leading position in the international marketplace. It is delivering real benefit for Australian artists. This could not have been achieved without the support of the Australian Government and a strong family of Patrons and Benefactors. We thank our hard working Board of Directors and staff and look forward with optimism to the year ahead.

  • An Exploration of the Early Training and Song Juvenilia of Samuel Barber
    THE FORMATIVE YEARS: AN EXPLORATION OF THE EARLY TRAINING AND SONG JUVENILIA OF SAMUEL BARBER Derek T. Chester, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2013 APPROVED: Jennifer Lane, Major Professor Stephen Dubberly, Committee Member Elvia Puccinelli, Committee Member Jeffrey Snider, Chair of the Division of Vocal Studies James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Chester, Derek T. The Formative Years: An Exploration of the Early Training and Song Juvenilia of Samuel Barber. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2013, 112 pp., 32 musical examples, bibliography, 56 titles. In the art of song composition, American composer Samuel Barber was the perfect storm. Barber spent years studying under superb instruction and became adept as a pianist, singer, composer, and in literature and languages. The songs that Barber composed during those years of instruction, many of which have been posthumously published, are waypoints on his journey to compositional maturity. These early songs display his natural inclinations, his self-determination, his growth through trial and error, and the slow flowering of a musical vision, meticulously cultivated by the educational opportunities provided to him by his family and his many devoted mentors. Using existing well-known and recently uncovered biographical data, as well as both published and unpublished song juvenilia and mature songs, this dissertation examines the importance of Barber’s earliest musical and academic training in relationship to his development as a song composer. Copyright 2013 by Derek T. Chester ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I sang my first Samuel Barber song at the age of eighteen.
