The concert was among the first events in Hanson Dyer Hall, the marvellous performing space at the heart of the spectacular Ian Potter Southbank Centre, which opened in 2019 as the new home of the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music and is one of Barry’s many significant accomplishments during a decade as Dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts and Music at the University of Melbourne. With its ample use of wood and soft green fabrics, Hanson Dyer Hall feels like a sacred forest grove, a place where ordinary time stops, and musical time can flower. This live recording allows us to re- experience the concert and celebrate both Barry’s music and his close collaboration with the artistic staff and students of the Conservatorium. Several of these works were written specifically for Conservatorium colleagues, and all the works are performed here by staff and students playing together as members of the Ormond Ensemble, under the baton of Associate Professor Richard Davis. The excitement of the occasion and the setting will be palpable to the listener. This is a bouquet from the garden of Barry’s musical imagination, and indeed most of these works are infused with a vivid and specific sense of landscape, weather, and flora and fauna. These diverse landscapes, brought to life in sound, are also animated by a multitude of human energies, as the soloists and the ensemble move together with the vectored synergies that Barry imagined. This sound garden allows us to savour the world of colours, gestures, and resonances in Barry’s music, and the live recording conveys the sense of community and place that has always energised his creative passion and achievement.

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.

  • Info About April 2017 Repertoire
    General Information About Australian Music Australian choral works with orchestra Given modern Australia’s British roots, it is no surprise that the Choral Society, or its heirs and assigns, survives as a major musical organisation in most capital cities. And as well as merely serving up a diet of Messiahs and Belshazzar’s Feasts, many have commissioned new works. Resident composers since Isaac Nathan, who arrived in 1841, have composed choral works of various kinds; Eugene Goossens’s The Apocalypse of 1954 out-Waltoned Walton but failed to set the world on fire. Subsequent choral-orchestral works have in the main tended to be in the oratorio tradition, often specifically for public ceremonial events, such as Barry Conyngham’s Antipodes for Victoria’s sesquicentennial celebrations in 1985, or Peter Sculthorpe’s Child of Australia for the national Bicentenary in 1988. Others, like Moya Henderson in her recent work based on the Anna Akhmatova ReQuiem, use the choral-orchestral forces to explore important humanitarian and political issues.

    # ! " #$ % &''( Nigel (Henry) Butterley (b. 1935) is recognised as one of Australia’s foremost contemporary composers. His works span most compositional genres. By making a case for the value of sketch study in the process of musical analysis, the principal purpose of this thesis is to augment understanding of Butterley’s music and in particular, his compositional processes and procedures through the various stages of the genesis of a composition, from the sketch to final score. Butterley’s string quartets, composed between the years 1965 to 2001 provide the basis for this study; these works are contextualised and examined to illustrate his approach to composition in microcosm and also his individual style within the genre of string quartet writing. This study focuses on the examination of preliminary sketches, drafts and holographs, as well as the scores of the completed works. Initially, analysis is based on preliminary sketches; this will be augmented by a formal analysis of the completed works. Traditionally, formal analysis deals with the final product, something that has been created, and in a sense, views a work retrospectively. Sketch study, in contrast, examines the work as it is being created and is concerned with the attendant compositional issues and choices available to the composer and the processes followed as he or she creates the composition. The current work will identify significant common features in all the string quartets, and will trace Butterley’s compositional trajectory through these works demonstrating that individual characteristics of Butterley’s style, emergent as early as 1965, continued to be utilised in 1995 and remain present in the Bagatelle of 2001.
