  • 'And There Came All Manner of Choirs:' Melbourne's Burgeoning Choral Scene Since 1950 *
    SYMPOSIUM: CHORAL MUSIC IN MELBOURNE ‘And there Came all Manner of Choirs:’ Melbourne’s Burgeoning Choral Scene since 1950 * Peter Campbell The great era of the community choral society in Melbourne—as for much of Australia—was probably the fifty years straddling the year 1900, but there is a continuous and frequently vigorous lineage traceable from the earliest years of settlement to the present. District choirs, including the North Melbourne and Collingwood Choral Societies, and the Prahran Philharmonic Society, were established in the period after 1850, during the prosperous gold- rush years,1 when wealth was able to support the cultural pursuits that were the trappings of higher social aspirations. Similar but later organisations include such choirs as the Malvern Choral Union, established in 1907.2 The Melbourne Philharmonic Society, which has been established in 1853, flourished after Bernard Heinze was appointed in 1937,3 especially once the ABC was engaging it for many performances, thus alleviating the Philharmonic of the burden of orchestral and promotional costs. This article examines state of choirs in Melbourne from the time of Heinze’s gradual lessening of duties at the Philharmonic, in the early 1950s, to the present day. Changes in purpose, structure and quantity (both in terms of the number of singers and the number of organisations) are noted, and social and musical reasons for the differences are advanced. A summary of Melbourne’s contemporary choral landscape is presented in order to illustrate the change that has occurred over the period under discussion. The lengthy, productive and intimate relationship between choir, conductor and broadcaster seen in the case of the Philharmonic, Bernard Heinze and the ABC, also exacted a great cost.

At the time, he was just 21 years old. Puccini’s Messa is often called the Messa di Gloria after its magnificent second movement, “Gloria in excelsis Deo,” which comprises almost half of the entire work.
