Recordings with Non-Vocal Works 72 Alphabetical by composer or record title IV: Recordings with Works in Miscellaneous Formats 76 Alphabetical by composer or record title Sources 81 Acknowledgments 83 5 Preface The American poet Emily Dickinson (1830-1886), unknown in her lifetime, is today revered by poets and poetry lovers throughout the world, and her revolutionary poetic style has been widely influential. Yet her equally wide influence on the world of music was largely unrecognized until 1992, when the late Carlton Lowenberg published his groundbreaking study Musicians Wrestle Everywhere: Emily Dickinson and Music (Fallen Leaf Press), an examination of Dickinson's involvement in the music of her time, and a "detailed inventory" of 1,615 musical settings of her poems. The result is a survey of an important segment of twentieth-century music. In the years since Lowenberg's inventory appeared, the number of Dickinson settings is estimated to have more than doubled, and a large number of them have been performed and recorded. One critic has described Dickinson as "the darling of modern composers."1 The intriguing question of why this should be so has been answered in many ways by composers and others.

  • The Australian Symphony of the 1950S: a Preliminary Survey
    The Australian Symphony of the 1950s: A Preliminary survey Introduction The period of the 1950s was arguably Australia’s ‘Symphonic decade’. In 1951 alone, 36 Australian symphonies were entries in the Commonwealth Jubilee Symphony Competition. This music is largely unknown today. Except for six of the Alfred Hill symphonies, arguably the least representative of Australian composition during the 1950s and a short Sinfonietta- like piece by Peggy Glanville-Hicks, the Sinfonia da Pacifica, no Australian symphony of the period is in any current recording catalogue, or published in score. No major study or thesis to date has explored the Australian symphony output of the 1950s. Is the neglect of this large repertory justified? Writing in 1972, James Murdoch made the following assessment of some of the major Australian composers of the 1950s. Generally speaking, the works of the older composers have been underestimated. Hughes, Hanson, Le Gallienne and Sutherland, were composing works at least equal to those of the minor English composers who established sizeable reputations in their own country.i This positive evaluation highlights the present state of neglect towards Australian music of the period. Whereas recent recordings and scores of many second-ranking British and American composers from the period 1930-1960 exist, almost none of the larger works of Australians Robert Hughes, Raymond Hanson, Dorian Le Gallienne and their contemporaries are heard today. This essay has three aims: firstly, to show how extensive symphonic composition was in Australia during the 1950s, secondly to highlight the achievement of the main figures in this movement and thirdly, to advocate the restoration and revival of this repertory.

    British Piano Concertos Stanford • Vaughan Williams Hoddinott • Williamson Finzi • Foulds • Bridge Rawsthorne • Ireland Busch • Moeran Berkeley • Scott 1 DISC ONE 77’20” The following Scherzo falls into four parts: a fluent and ascending melody; an oppressive dance in 10/6; a return to the first section and finally the culmination of the movement where SIR CHARLES VILLIERS STANFORD (1852-1924) all the previous material collides and reaches a violent apotheosis. Of considerable metrical 1-3 intricacy, this movement derives harmonically and melodically from a four-note motif. 1st Movement: Allegro moderato 15’39” Marked , the slow movement is a set of variations which unfolds in a 2nd Movement: Adagio molto 11’32” flowing 3/2 time. Inward-looking, this is the concerto’s emotional core, its wistful opening 3rd Movement: Allegro molto 10’19” for piano establishing a mood of restrained lamentation whilst the shattering brass Malcolm Binns, piano motifs introduce a more agonized form of grief, close to raging despair. The cadenza brings London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Nicholas Braithwaite some measure of peace. In the extrovert Finale, the first movement’s orchestration and metres are From SRCD219 ADD c 1985 recalled and the soloist goads the orchestra, with its ebullience restored, towards ever-greater feats of rhythmical dexterity.
