    'Musical Pitch Ought to Be One from Pole to Pole': Touring Musicians and the Issue of Performing Pitch in Late Nineteenth

    2011 © Simon Purtell, Context 35/36 (2010/2011): 111–25. ‘Musical Pitch ought to be One from Pole to Pole’: Touring Musicians and the Issue of Performing Pitch in Late Nineteenth- and Early Twentieth-century Melbourne Simon Purtell In 1869, English vocal teacher Charles Bishenden complained that the high performing pitch in use in England was ‘ruinous to the voice.’ The high pitch, he reported, was the very reason why many European singers did not perform in Britain.1 ‘For a Continental larynx,’ French soprano Blanche Marchesi (1863–1940) later explained, ‘it is a real torture to sing to different pitches.’ ‘The muscles of a trained larynx act like fine clockwork,’ she wrote, and ‘a change of tone, up or down, alters the precision of their action.’ For this reason, Marchesi believed that ‘musical pitch ought to be one from pole to pole.’2 A standard of performing pitch comprises three fundamental concepts: sound frequency, note-name, and standard. A sound frequency, expressed in Hertz (Hz) or cycles per second (cps), becomes a pitch when assigned to a note in the musical scale, thus determining the pitch of every other note in a particular system of tuning. If, in equal temperament, the A directly above middle C equals 440 Hz, then the C directly above it equals 523.25 Hz. A pitch that is agreed upon, at a given time and place, as the reference point for building and tuning musical instruments to play together, is a pitch standard. Standards of pitch are usually expressed in relation to the note A directly above middle C.

    J.E. Dodd 1901

    J. E. DODD ­ A ROMANTIC ORGANBUILDER by Bruce Naylor Contents Life and work Representative organs List of contracts References This article is based upon a talk given at the 0HTA Conference in Adelaide on 30 August, 1980. Josiah Eustace Dodd, organbuilder, was born in Richmond, Melbourne in 1856, died aged 95 years in 1952 and is buried in St Jude's Brighton Cemetery, South Australia. His mother was Irish, his father a Londoner and he married a Scottish wife (1). At the age of 13 he became an apprentice with the firm of Fincham at the princely sum of 2/6 per week (2). It was a great firm and Dodd with his ability and perseverance became a very good tradesman, so much so that when the firm set up here in Adelaide in 1881, Dodd came as co­manager and took over full control in 1888 (3). Both Dodd boys became organbuilders, Eustace and Ebenezer (known as Eb for short) and became part of the firm when Dodd bought out Fincham in 1894. The goodwill was £1,200 and this included the plant and an assurance that Fincham & Hobday would not accept any work in South Australia for 10 years (4). The new firm quickly changed the policies of Fincham & Hobday. Dodd had a flair for publicity. William Sanders was the organist of Clayton Congregational Church, Norwood, and gave the opening recital there in October, 1897; he edited a paper called Music from 1896 to 1900 and it carried a monthly report of what went on in the factory.
  • George Fincham's Tonal Palette: Some Thoughts on Tonal Design

    George Fincham's Tonal Palette: Some Thoughts on Tonal Design

    George Fincham's tonal palette: some thoughts on tonal design John Maidment EXTRACT FROM OHTA JOURNAL JULY 1995, pp.12­17. Based on a paper delivered at the XVIIth Annual Conference of the Organ Historical Trust of Australia on 28 September 1994 at Christ Church, Warrnambool, Vic. George Fincham, who was born in London in 1828, was apprenticed to Henry Bevington, organbuilder, of 48 Greek Street, Soho, on 1 May 1843, at the age of 14­1/2 years. This apprenticeship ran for a term of seven years, after which Fincham worked briefly as a foreman with James Bishop, another distinguished London organbuilder, before departing for Australia in 1852. Both Bevington and Bishop were conservatively minded organbuilders and the range of stops in their instruments differed minimally from those built in the previous century, apart from the introduction of the Clarabella and improved manual and pedal compasses. There was not the sense of innovation to be found in the work of William Hill (based upon continental precedents) or, slightly later, Henry Willis. Fincham would have doubtless visited the Great Exhibition of 1851, as a young man, and inspected the wide range of organs exhibited. The instruments by the continental builders Schulze, from Germany, and Ducroquet, from France, created a profound impression (and lasting influence) but it cannot be established that Fincham's organbuilding style was in any way affected by what he had seen and heard. When Fincham began building organs in Melbourne in 1862, his tonal vocabulary was limited to the type of stops he would have been familiar with in the organs built by Bevington and Bishop.
  • The Story of Jim and Phillip Krakouer. by Sean Edward Gorman BA

    The Story of Jim and Phillip Krakouer. by Sean Edward Gorman BA

    Moorditj Magic: The Story of Jim and Phillip Krakouer. By Sean Edward Gorman BA (Hons) Murdoch University A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy At Murdoch University March 2004 DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work, which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. …………………………………. Sean Edward Gorman. ii ABSTRACT This thesis analyses and investigates the issue of racism in the football code of Australian Rules to understand how racism is manifested in Australian daily life. In doing this, it considers biological determinism, Indigenous social obligation and kinship structure, social justice and equity, government policy, the media, local history, everyday life, football culture, history and communities and the emergence of Indigenous players in the modern game. These social issues are explored through the genre of biography and the story of the Noongar footballers, Jim and Phillip Krakouer, who played for Claremont and North Melbourne in the late 1970’s and 1980’s. This thesis, in looking at Jim and Phillip Krakouers careers, engages with other Indigenous footballer’s contributions prior to the AFL introducing Racial and Religious Vilification Laws in 1995. This thesis offers a way of reading cultural texts and difference to understand some Indigenous and non-Indigenous relationships in an Australian context. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have often wondered where I would be if I had not made the change from work to study in 1992. In doing this I have followed a path that has taken me down many roads to many doors and in so doing I have been lucky to meet many wonderful and generous people.

    CONSERVATION of AUSTRALIA's HISTORIC HERITAGE PLACES Productivity Commission Inquiry 2005

    CONSERVATION OF AUSTRALIA'S HISTORIC HERITAGE PLACES Productivity Commission Inquiry 2005 Submission from Organ Historical Trust of Australia Preamble There are around 2,000 pipe organs in Australia. These are located in a diversity of places - public venues such as concert and town halls, theatres, teaching institutions and churches, together with private homes, masonic temples, etc. Many are physical structures enclosed within the space of buildings, often placed in purpose-built chambers and frequently making a major architectural statement within their environment. There are roughly 600 pipe organs in each of New South Wales and Victoria, with lesser numbers in South Australia, Queensland, Western Australia and Tasmania. Around one-quarter of these instruments would be of heritage value and significant owing to their intactness, age, cultural associations, rarity or musical qualities. The majority of these instruments are of indigenous manufacture, but there is a highly important corpus of imported organs, mainly from Britain, but also from several European countries and the American continent. The indigenous instruments range from those built by professional organbuilders within organ factories or workshops to those constructed by amateurs in a domestic environment. A small number of instruments can be considered to be of international significance, such as: • The Sydney Town Hall organ, built in 1886-1889 by Hill & Son, London and the largest organ in the world at the time; this instrument survives very substantially intact, with outstanding casework; • The Robert Blackwood Hall organ, Monash University, built by Jürgen Ahrend, Leer, Germany and opened in 1980; this is the largest new instrument to have been constructed by its renowned builder.
