THIS MONTH @ FINE MUSIC As I write this month’s editorial, we have just received the July 2019 McNair Listener Survey results. It is with gratitude to our loyal and new listeners that I can now report that these are the highest figures ever recorded for Fine Music. The figures represent a significant increase by just under one third of our audience in a two-year period. In the survey of the Sydney radio audience, our FM and DAB+ broadcasts combined recorded an average of 240,000 weekly listeners and 638,000 monthly listeners.

As we celebrate this milestone achievement and approach our 45th anniversary, I want to highlight what an extraordinary feat it is that we have delivered such a highly respected and vitally important part of our cultural landscape. While our main competitors have access to many more resources than we do, including national coverage, government funding and larger professional staffing teams, we at Fine Music manage to deliver what is essentially the same service, with very limited resources, and have done so for almost 45 years. As Station Manager I want to acknowledge the hard work of our staff, programmers, presenters, librarians, receptionists, recording engineers, magazine writers, editors, and indeed all who, directly or indirectly, interact with our listener base.

As a passionate music lover and loyal subscriber, we know that you appreciate our community radio station and the work that we do to encourage an active live classical and jazz music scene in our community. We hope you join us in celebrating this achievement and help us to spread the word. Fine Music is the radio station created by music lovers for lovers of music.

A MOVABLE MUSICAL FEAST CATHERINE PEAKE OUTLINES SYDNEY SYMPHONY’S SEASON

In 2020, the planned renovations of the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall, home of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, are due to commence. The renovations, the most comprehensive ever undertaken, are designed to improve acoustics and theatre systems as well as backstage and stage areas, and will also be directed towards improving access.

With the renovations scheduled to begin early in the New Year, and expected to continue for two years, the orchestra’s temporary new residence will be the Sydney Town Hall which, incidentally, was its home before it took up permanent residence in the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall in 1973. Situated in the centre of the city, Sydney Town Hall is an iconic Sydney landmark and well known for its Victorian architecture and imposing street presence.

The projected move has not put a dampener on the Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s program for 2020, and nine major concerts are planned. The extended program offers new concert series in addition to the continuation of previous series. A major strand of the 2020 program will highlight the work of four renowned conductors with strong links to the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, with Vladimir Ashkenazy, David Robertson, Donald Runnicles and Simone Young presenting concerts of their own creation during the two years of the orchestra’s relocation.

In recognition of his long-standing connection with the orchestra, eminent conductor Ashkenazy was this year named the first-ever Conductor Laureate of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. In 2020, he will present a series entitled Northern Lights Festival. The first concert will feature Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suites nos 1 and 2 and Sibelius’ Symphony no 5 in E flat major, op 82 with additional works

by Sibelius planned for the second concert including his Karelia suite, op 11 and his Symphony no 1 in E minor, op 39.

SEPTEMBER 2019

As the Sydney Symphony’s first Principal Guest Conductor, Scottish conductor Donald Runnicles will be leading the orchestra in Beethoven’s Missa solemnis in D major, op 123, considered one of Beethoven’s greatest achievements. The Sydney Philharmonia Choirs will be joining the orchestra for the performance. Runnicles will present more vocal work in his second concert Italian Opera Gala, with works by Verdi, Mascagni and Leoncavallo. He will also be conducting Mahler’s Symphony no 4 in G major, the final movement of which incorporates one of Mahler’s earlier songs Das himmlische Leben (The Heavenly life) sung by a soprano.

Internationally distinguished conductor Simone Young will present the concert A Viennese Gala with works by Johann Strauss I and Johann Strauss II, and will lead the orchestra in a concert featuring Brahms’ Symphony no 4 in E minor, op 98, the last symphony that he wrote.

Following his final year in 2019 as the Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s Chief Conductor and Artistic Director, David Robertson will be a guest conductor of the orchestra in 2020. He will lead a performance of Brahms’ A German

Requiem in which the orchestra will be joined by the Sydney Philharmonia Choirs, and will also conduct Mendelssohn’s Symphony no 4 in A major, op 90, known as the Italian, as well as Richard Strauss’ Serenade in E flat major, op 7, a serenade for winds which has been described as ‘short as well as sweet’.

In the absence of a chief conductor for 2020 several conductors, in addition to the four above, will be taking the podium next year. In 2022, and after an international search, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra will announce its new chief conductor to coincide with its return to the Sydney Opera House.

With the year 2020 being the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth, American conductor Marin Alsop will lead the Sydney Symphony in a performance of Symphony no 9 in D minor, op 125. The concert will form part of a global celebration, the international ‘A Global Ode to Joy’ project, for which Alsop will conduct different orchestras around the world, offering re-imaginings of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Alsop will present the Ninth Symphony with the Sydney Symphony collaborating with Indigenous musicians in a performance including traditional music

that will ‘seek to bring diverse communities together in themes that underpin Beethoven’s choral work’.

In other concerts, Australian harpsichordist Erin Helyard will lead the Sydney Symphony in the complete Brandenburg concertos, BWV1046-1051, and conductor David Stern will present a Classics in the City concert with music by Handel and Telemann. Having previously worked with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, conductor Alexander Shelley will

most popular concertos in the repertoire. The Grammy Award winning violinist performs a wide repertoire and is often referred to by colleagues as a ‘musician’s musician’. With conductor Fabien Gabel conducting the orchestra, renowned cellist Daniel MüllerSchott will perform Dvorák’s Cello concerto in B minor, op 104.

Continuing the celebration of Beethoven’s anniversary, pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet will be joining conductor Kirill Karabits to

Donald Runnicles

conduct Rimsky-Korsakov’s symphonic suite Scheherazade, op 35, and the conductor for Tchaikovsky’s Symphony no 6 in B minor, op 74 will be Spaniard Jaime Martin. Although the work is known today as the Pathétique (pathetic) symphony, Tchaikovsky called it the Passionate symphony.

In a concert that touches on the Germanic repertoire and the French Impressionists, Jun Märkl will present Ravel’s Piano concerto in G major, a concerto ‘heavily influenced by jazz’, as well as the concert overture The Hebrides by Mendelssohn and Debussy’s La mer. Finnish conductor and violinist Pietari Inkinen will conduct Stravinsky’s The rite of spring, and the orchestra will present more Sibelius with The swan of Tuonela. Australian composer and conductor Nicholas Buc will lead the Sydney Symphony in concert in conjunction with American singer-songwriter Ben Folds.

In addition to renowned conductors joining it onstage in 2020, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra will be presenting concerts with invited international and Australian artists.

As part of the Sibelius concerts conducted

by Ashkenazy, violinist Akiko Suwanai will perform the Violin concerto in D minor, op 47.

Cited as being ‘symphonic in scope’, it is the only concerto that Sibelius wrote. Suwanai currently plays the 1714 Dolphin Stradivarius, on loan from the Nippon Music Foundation.

Robertson will once again take the podium, this time in concert with violinist Augustin Hadelich who will perform Mendelssohn’s Violin concerto in E minor, op 64, one of the

present the Piano concerto no 4 in G major, op 58. Beethoven was the soloist in the public premiere of the work, and a contemporary review stated that the concerto was ‘the most admirable, singular, artistic and complex Beethoven concerto ever’.

Musicians from the Sydney Symphony Orchestra will also take centre stage during concerts presented next year. In its 2020 Regional Tour, Principal Cello Umberto Clerici will conduct the orchestra with Concertmaster Andrew Haveron performing Bruch’s Violin concerto no 1 in G minor, op 26, one of the composer’s most famous works. Clerici will conduct again in a concert with international violinist Karen Gomyo performing Mozart’s Violin concerto no 3 in G major, K216, written by the composer when he was 19 years old.

The orchestra’s Principal Trumpet David Elton will play Haydn’s Trumpet concerto in E flat major, Hob.VIIe:1, which has been listed as ‘a favourite of the trumpet repertoire and possibly Haydn’s most popular concerto’.

Throughout its 2020-2021 residence in the Sydney Town Hall, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra will also be performing in its other regular venues: the Sydney Opera House’s Utzon Room, the City Recital Hall and the new Sydney Coliseum Theatre in Rooty Hill.

The Cocktail Hour series will once more be presented in the Utzon Room, where members of the orchestra will perform a variety of chamber works. A new Symphonic Hour series will incorporate hour-long concerts at the Sydney Town Hall featuring major works performed and conducted by international as

well as Australian artists. English conductor Alexander Shelley will take the podium in two separate concerts as the orchestra performs Debussy’s Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune and Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, and Australian conductor Alexander Briger will conduct Shostakovich’s Symphony no 5 in D minor, op 47. When first performed in 1937, the work was so well received that the audience gave it an ovation that lasted over half an hour.

The Family Series concerts, designed for the younger audience, will take place at The Concourse in Chatswood. For the second concert in the series, Umberto Clerici will conduct the orchestra in Paul Patterson’s Roald Dahl’s Little Red Riding Hood with narration by media personality Wendy Harmer. Patterson wrote the piece for narrator and orchestra in 1992, basing it on a script by Roald Dahl that was intended for a possible television adaptation.

Another series, Mozart in the City, will be expanded to create the new Classics in the City series, presenting rarely performed works from the Baroque and Romantic periods.

The International Pianists in Recital series returns, with the 2020 program featuring pianists Elisabeth Leonskaja, Jonathan Biss, Cédric Tiberghien and Lauren Zhang, winner of the 2018 BBC Young Musician award. The Sydney Symphony Presents series will also continue, with the orchestra performing live in conjunction with film excerpts being shown on the big screen.

BALAKIREV’S ISLAMEY ROBERT GILCHRIST DISCUSSES THE ‘UNPLAYABLE’ WORK “It’s unplayable,” said the virtuoso pianist and composer Mily Balakirev. “There are passages in this work that I simply can’t manage.” Even Alexander Skryabin seriously damaged his right hand while frantically practising this composition.

The work was inspired by a series of musical excursions by Balakirev to the Caucasus Mountains in the 1860s. The region is home to more than 50 ethnic groups, and no fewer than three language families are unique to the area. During his working holidays, Balakirev was impressed by the region’s rich folk music traditions. It was here that he stumbled upon a melody that would later serve as the basis of a theme in his best-known piano piece, Islamey, an oriental fantasy.

Balakirev made the acquaintance of a Circassian prince, who frequently played folk melodies on an instrument bearing a startling resemblance to a violin. One of these melodies was a dance tune called Islamey, which features in the first movement of Balakirev’s piano work. The second theme is based on a love song from the Crimean Tatars. Balakirev hurriedly completed Islamey in September

a number of ossia passages to technically simplify the musical text. Technical brilliance aside, the work attempted to preserve a national style of music. Although Islamey became popular abroad it was seldom played in Russia. However, Alexander Borodin included quotations from the piece in his opera Prince Igor, while Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov did the same in his symphonic suite Scheherazade.

In fact, the melodies preserved in Balakirev’s Islamey are still present in current folk music of the former USSR.

Mily Balakirev

1869 to provide the pianist Nikolai Rubinstein with a ‘showstopper’ for a recital scheduled in December. Rubinstein claimed that he had struggled with the piece and found it so difficult that ‘few would be able to master it’.

From the very beginning, it seems, Islamey gained the undeserved reputation of being unplayable.

Balakirev revised the work in 1902, adding

Islamey became a favourite recital piece of many pianists including Liszt. It also influenced later composers, with Ravel saying that with Gaspard de la nuit his goal was to make it more difficult than Islamey.

Leaving aside the enormous technical challenges of the work, Balakirev managed to create a lasting musical document to accompany the burgeoning awareness and awakening of his nation’s music.

Composed 150 years ago this month, Islamey can be heard in The Piano Alone on Saturday 28 September at 9.05am.

TURNING OLD MUSIC INTO NEW ELAINE SIVERSEN DESCRIBES A LIFELONG FASCINATION a prominent feature of the work of several composers but Respighi’s interest was in preClassical music which he couched in 19th century Romantic forms such as is found in symphonic poems. An exception was the littleknown 19th century piano pieces of Rossini from which he brilliantly crafted the ballet La boutique fantasque. The Concerto à cinque for oboe, horn, violin, double bass, piano and string orchestra is based on a passacaglia of Tartini. It represents some affinity with the neoclassicists, but relies heavily on the Baroque concerto grosso and in particular on the concerti grossi of Telemann and Vivaldi.

Ottorino Respighi had a lifelong fascination with music of the past. His violin playing took him to St Petersburg as a young man where he played, not as a violinist, but as a violist in the St Petersburg Opera Theatre Orchestra. He took the opportunity while there to study orchestration with Nicolai RimskyKorsakov and, after returning to Italy, he began composing numerous works based on earlier music using the colourful orchestration techniques he had acquired in St Petersburg.

His three suites of Ancient airs and dances easily come to mind, the title being indicative of the early music source. They are brilliant and tasteful reworkings of lute pieces from the 16th and 17th centuries. Another popular suite is The birds. Here Respighi’s source was music of the 17th and 18th centuries that represented an attempt to transcribe into musical notation birdsong and bird actions, such as fluttering wings or scratching feet.

This love of early music led Respighi to investigate even earlier music resulting in his Concerto gregoriano for violin and orchestra, and the three piano Preludes on Gregorian themes. Concerto in modo misolidio for piano and orchestra uses plainchant as the 4

basis of the first movement, moving through several different styles. In the Finale there is a passacaglia although this is more in the Romantic tradition of paying homage to the Baroque era.

In the early 20th century, neo-classicism was

Respighi’s scholarly achievements included transcribing, modernising and publishing editions of several Baroque composers: Monteverdi’s Lamento d’Arianna, Benedetto Marcello’s cantata Didone and music of Johann Sebastian Bach and Vitali. For Respighi ‘interpreting’ the old masters gave him a sense of fulfilment and, through his compositions and transcriptions, he showed an understanding of the spirit of this earlier music.

Respighi’s ‘new from old’ music can be heard in Sunday Special at 3pm on 29 September.

‘A GRAND PRIESTESS OF THE ART’ PAUL COOKE CONSIDERS CLARA SCHUMANN’S LEGACY “The death is announced of Madame Clara Schumann, the eminent pianist, and widow of the famous composer, Robert Schumann.” So began an article in the Sydney Morning Herald published on 23 May 1896, which leaves us in little doubt as to the nature of Clara’s fame.

The article went on to provide a not entirely accurate potted biography, together with an account of a visit by a young Australian pianist, Elsie Stanley Hall, perhaps ‘the very last person to have the honour of an interview with this renowned pianist and most kindly woman’.

Clara was born on 13 September 1819 to Friedrich Wieck, piano teacher and instrument dealer, and Marianne Tromlitz, singer and pianist. They divorced in 1824 and thereafter Friedrich made it his life’s work to ensure that Clara became a concert pianist, enforcing a strict but enlightened regime that included study of counterpoint and composition. His persistence (and hers) certainly reaped rewards. Clara’s first public appearance was in 1828, playing a piano duet, Kalkbrenner’s Variations on a march from Moses, and she made her solo debut as a concert pianist in 1830.

Her early repertoire, like that of her contemporaries, favoured technique over taste, and virtuosic theme-and-variation style music by composers such as Herz, Thalberg and Czerny predominated. Clara, however, increasingly programmed music with more substance: she introduced many of Beethoven’s piano sonatas to Berlin audiences, and championed younger composers such as Chopin and Mendelssohn and, later, Brahms.

She also programmed music of the past, with performances of works by J.S. Bach, Domenico Scarlatti, Haydn and Mozart. Allied to this increasingly sophisticated repertoire was her pioneering of the solo recital and of playing from memory.

As a pianist she was very highly regarded.

Liszt saw her as ‘a grand priestess of the art’; Paganini thought she ‘had a vocation for art because she had feeling’; Mendelssohn believed that she was the best interpreter of his Capriccio. The Manchester Guardian wrote, in 1856, when she visited Britain: “Comparing Madame Schumann with the leading pianists of the day, we would say at once that she surpasses them all in that great quality which we sum up expressively by the word ‘soul’. She is all music; and, as she bends over her instrument, it is very easy to see, from her expressive gestures, that the wooden instrument ... has become a golden gate through which her spirit passes into the purest regions of harmony.”

Clara Schumann

Clara’s praise of Elsie Stanley Hall’s pianism at their meeting (that ‘she played brilliantly, with grace and elegance’) reminds us too that Clara was a Professor of Piano at the conservatorium in Frankfurt from 1878: her students were exposed to a wide repertoire, much sight-reading, and opportunities to attend operas and orchestral rehearsals, following the music while reading a score.

The courtship and marriage of Clara Wieck and Robert Schumann has been characterised as the ‘most feted Romantic love story in the history of Western music’, but their intended equal musical partnership did not last.

Composing gave Clara great pleasure but she had little time for it: she made it possible for Robert to compose but she was increasingly occupied with the birth and care of children, at the same time as pursuing her performance career as the main breadwinner.

Clara continued to perform for most of the 40 years after Robert’s death in 1856. Her most constant musical partner was the violinist Joseph Joachim, who had performed in the same Leipzig concert as Clara in August

1843. They gave over 238 concerts together, and were highly regarded for their playing of Beethoven’s violin sonatas. George V of Hanover described Joachim’s interpretation of Clara’s Three romances for violin and piano as a ‘marvellous, heavenly pleasure’. Although there was obviously a financial imperative, Clara insisted that she felt ‘a calling to reproduce great works, above all, also those of Robert, as long as I have the strength to do so’. To this end she edited, published, premiered and continued to perform his works. She may also have been guilty of preserving his legacy according to her own tastes, with Robert tending towards the experimental in the structure and style of his music but Clara praising those of his compositions that were ‘not too obscure’. She didn’t include his Violin Concerto in the first complete Schumann edition.

Liszt, Spohr and Chopin all praised compositions by Clara, and Mendelssohn conducted the premiere of her Piano Concerto, but by the time of her death and until comparatively recently her composing career was largely ignored. Her early compositions, not all of which have survived, were intended to show off her virtuosic pianistic skills, but the Three romances of 1839 ushered in more intimate and considered pieces. In the next 15 years, until she ceased composing after the death of Robert, she continued to write solo works for the piano but also turned her hand to Lieder and chamber music. The Piano Trio, written while she was pregnant, and therefore unable to tour, is regarded as one of her finest works, displaying an ‘autumnal, melancholy quality’ and a ‘mastery of sonata form and polyphonic techniques’.

EXPLORING LESSER-KNOWN MUSIC ELAINE SIVERSEN HIGHLIGHTS THREE PROGRAMS Baroque composer Johann Pachelbel and Engelbert Humperdinck of the Romantic era may appear to be ‘odd bedfellows’ when placed in the Sunday Special program on 1 September at 3pm. While the music of these German composers is vastly different, the link is their entry into the world on, or just prior to, 1 September some 201 years apart.

Humperdinck was born on that day in 1854 but Pachelbel’s birth was probably the day before because he was baptised on 1 September

It was at this time in 1890 that Humperdinck began work on Hansel and Gretel. Based on a tale by the Grimm Brothers, the opera premiered in Weimar on 23 December 1893 and since then has been considered to be a Christmas season opera. The music, a combination of German folk-style music and Wagnerian techniques, appealed to the audience and was an instant success. Humperdinck has a tenuous connection to Sydney: in 1914, he applied for the post of Director of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, but when war broke out the post went instead to the Belgian Henri Verbrugghen.

Saturday Matinee on 7 September at 2.30pm features an oratorio

by Antonio Caldara. Oratorios developed in the 17th century and, although similar in musical style to opera, were based on

Johann Pachelbel

1653. Both became significant composers of their eras although Pachelbel had more influence on musical development.

Pachelbel was an organist and teacher who composed sacred and secular works in many genres. As an organist he was influential in bringing the South German Organ School to its peak. His main legacy is his contribution to the development of the chorale prelude and fugue which culminated in those of Johann Sebastian Bach. It seems that the nine-year old Bach met Pachelbel, a long-time friend of the Bach family, when Pachelbel was invited (along with other composers) to provide the music for the wedding of Sebastian’s older brother Johann Christoph Bach, who had been a pupil of Pachelbel and, in turn, taught the young Sebastian.

Humperdinck is remembered mainly for his opera Hansel and Gretel, which tends to overshadow the rest of his works, but it’s his other music we’ll hear. Although he composed his first work at the age of seven and won several prestigious prizes, his career was not particularly illustrious; most of it was spent teaching, with one of his most important posts being a professorship at the Hoch Conservatory in Frankfurt.

been added from John 11:1-2 and 12:1-4.

He also included the figures of Celestial and Earthly Love (representing good and evil) for the dramatic purpose of staging a combat for the soul of Mary Magdalene. Her irresolution and anguish are movingly depicted although this is not in the Biblical narrative.

Composers working in another 17th century Italian city will be heard in Baroque and Before on 27 September at 10pm. In Naples in the early part of the century several composers combined to write music for a 1620 masque called The sylvan and oceanic delights of Posilipo. Posillipo (modern spelling) is a promontory overlooking the sea near Naples and this masque included the usual nymphs and shepherds found in pastoral masques but also many aquatic creatures. It was commissioned by the viceroy Don Pedro Girón, Duke of Osuna, in an extravagant attempt to ingratiate himself with the Habsburg King Philip III of Spain. No record now exists of the music or even of the composers who contributed to this production and the recording being broadcast is a composite of works from the Naples of that time, most composers being little known. It was reconstructed by Philip Pickett in 1988 with sinfonie, balli and other dance movements alternating with songs and madrigals relating to woodland and sea creatures, and to minor deities.

Engelbert Humperdinck

religious themes rather than on mythological or heroic themes.

They were intended to be ‘spiritual exercises’ or ‘edifying entertainment’ to be sung in the oratory or nave of the church.

Caldara was one of the most prolific of the early oratorio composers with 43 oratorios to his name (and many more believed to have been lost).

He wrote them for wealthy patrons in his native Venice and for other patrons in Rome, Antonio Caldara Florence, Mantua and Vienna.

Caldara’s oratorio to be broadcast this month is Maddalena ai piedi di Cristo (Magdalene at the feet of Christ). While the libretto by Lodovici Forni is based on the New Testament account in Luke 7:36-50, the character of Martha has

The masque is the centrepiece of the program, which includes works by Giovanni de Macque, a Netherlander who spent most of his life in Italy, and works of one of the most important composers of the time, Girolamo Frescobaldi.

THE BAROQUE SECULAR CANTATA REX BURGESS FOLLOWS ITS PROGRESS In the late 16th century there was a move by composers to imitate the use of recitative as practised by the ancient poets. The earliest examples are in operas by Jacopo Peri and Giulio Caccini, each based on Ovid’s Orpheus and Eurydice, and having their first performances in Florence in 1600 and 1602 respectively.

Initially confined to opera, the desire to include recitative soon extended to works suitable for performance in camera. Initially these were strophic renderings of short dramas or stories, sung by one voice, with a recurrent bass on a single instrument: normally lute, cello or harpsichord.

Alessandro Scarlatti

A cantata is normally a medium-length narrative-style composition for one or more voices with instrumental accompaniment.

Its content may be either sacred or secular, the focus in this article being on the latter.

Derived from cantare, the word is one of many introduced to music via the Italian language, others including sonata, toccata and ballata.

The word’s first use is attributed to Alessandro Grandi, in four books published in the 1620s as Cantade et Arie, where the cantatas were strophic variations, while the arias were strophic continuo songs. Grandi’s term gradually was adopted by other composers, with its increasing use heralding the emergence of the chamber cantata, which was destined to become the dominant vocal form throughout the entire 17th century.

After the introduction of the chamber cantata in its initial format, among the next innovations were the insertion of instrumental ritornelli and sinfonias, and an air repeated at different points in the narrative, thereby creating

a primitive kind of rondo. As the century progressed, the cantata in this style was brought to a high level of perfection by various composers, including Giacomo Carissimi, who sometimes introduced a second voice, although it was still usually with only a single accompanying instrument.

The next development was in the accompaniment. More instruments were added with parts becoming increasingly elaborate. By way of illustration, the cello parts in some of Alessandro Scarlatti’s more than 600 cantatas were so difficult that it was considered the mark of a very distinguished artist to be able to play them.

As the century advanced, the vocal part also expanded to include both recitatives and ariosi, and interspersed with strophic arias at key lyric or dramatic points.

Roman composers led the way, especially Carissimi and Luigi Rossi, followed by a second wave including Antonio Cesti, Giovanni Legrenzi and Alessandro Stradella. At this point the Italian cantata may be seen as having reached its full maturity. It remained for later composers, notably Vivaldi, Antonio Caldara and especially Benedetto Marcello to add their contributions, in his case totalling almost 400 works. However, with the emergence of the Neapolitan school under its leader, Alessandro Scarlatti, composers then largely shifted their focus to the opera, which was then coming increasingly into vogue.

By 1650 the Italian cantata had become so popular that its composers were producing them, in one writer’s words, ‘by the bushel’.

With only a single Italian-style work by Charpentier from around 1683, it would, however, be more than 50 years before French composers began to create their own distinctive form, the cantate française.

Jean-Baptiste Morin being the first composer of works with an identifiably French flavour.

The merits of French versus Italian music having become quite polarised, Morin’s stated objective was ‘to attempt to retain the sweetness of French melody, while using greater variety in the accompaniment, tempos and modulations characteristic of the Italian cantata’. This ‘sweetness’ consisted of a more smoothly flowing lyricism, able to move with the grace of the dance, and with delicate ornamentation capturing textual nuances.

It was from these beginnings that the French cantata evolved, with the form being cultivated by numerous other composers, including André Campra, Michel de Montéclair, Joseph Bodin de Boismortier, and especially LouisNicolas Clérambault, whose five books are considered the most valuable contributions to the repertoire. Starting in 1706, more than 1000 French cantatas were published up to the early 1730s, after which composers’ interest shifted instead to the shorter and less ambitious form, the cantatille.

Despite the presence of Handel there from 1712 onwards, the secular cantata made only a brief and undistinguished appearance in England in the 18th century, Handel himself having written almost all his 100 cantatas while in Italy during the preceding four years.

It remains to mention Germany, where the cantata was long cultivated as a primarily sacred genre. There are a few early Italianstyle examples, but it was only when the leading composers of the late baroque, Telemann, Hasse and occasionally Bach, turned their attention to it that the secular cantata achieved a standing comparable with that of its Italian and French counterparts.

Around the turn of the 18th century, French society started moving away from the operaoriented and otherwise sedate atmosphere at Versailles to the more cosmopolitan one in Paris. Italian arias were being published and Italian music performed increasingly often in salons and other establishments. Ensuing decades saw a large influx of musicians from across the Alps, with one writer ruefully observing that ‘cantatas and sonatas spring Benedetto Marcello right out of the ground here; no musician Cantatas by many of the composers mentioned arrives without a cantata or sonata in his can be heard in four monthly Sunday Special pocket’. programs, commencing at 3pm on Sunday 8 French cantatas soon started appearing, with September.

LEGACY OF A MUSICAL REVOLUTIONARY DAVID OGILVIE LOOKS AT WAGNER’S INFLUENCE “It’s so rich and deep, it’s like a drug sometimes. If you give up and let go, it really drags you into a mysterious world.”

— Jonas Kaufmann on the music of Richard Wagner

One hundred and fifty years after the premiere of Das Rheingold, it is hard to imagine the directions serious music, particularly opera, may have taken without the tremendous influence of the life and work of Richard Wagner. Scarcely any important musicians of the second half of the 19th century and the early 20th century remained indifferent to his legacy, regardless of whether they considered themselves ‘Wagnerians’ or found themselves in opposing camps in both art and views of the world. His influence has spread beyond composition into conducting, philosophy, literature, the visual arts and theatre, right up to the present day.

Wagner was a revolutionary. Not simply a supporter of the 1849 Dresden uprising, he was an active participant and was forced into exile. He wanted to change society and elevate the arts to the centre of the human experience. His operas exist on a scale of unprecedented ambition and employ concepts that transformed both the nature of the art form and the approach of later composers. Instead of opera progressing through individual arias, duets, etc., Wagner composed in ongoing, unbroken spans of music, its fabric woven out of leitmotifs, recurring themes symbolising characters, ideas or qualities, which are transformed according to the drama.

Das Rheingold is the first of the four music dramas that constitute The ring, although it was written last and is in effect, a Prologue.

The evil Alberich steals gold from the bottom of the Rhine, where it is being guarded by three Rhine maidens. He does this knowing that anyone who forges a ring from the gold, and renounces love, will gain power over the world. Thus begins a downward spiral of murder, abuse of power, industrialism and environmental destruction. But it is also a tale of love, liberation and atonement.

All three of the other operas to be broadcast

Christopher Columbus

Entrance of The Gods into Valhalla, from Das Rheingold

by Fine Music in September, Rusalka, The wreckers, and Atlántida, bear the imprint of Wagner’s legacy in one form or another.

Rusalka, like The ring, uses mythological subjects, most likely inspired by the fairy tale The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen leavened by the rusalki of pagan Slavic culture. Of Dvorák’s major operas, Rusalka is the most ‘Wagnerian’, with a variety of drama-creating musical techniques, elaborated with astonishing invention. These included the use of leitmotifs for Rusalka, her damnation, the water sprite and the forest, although he employed far fewer than Wagner.

The orchestra is at least an equal partner to the vocal roles and, on many occasions, it could even be seen to be the chief bearer of the opera’s expression.

composer Manuel de Falla commenced work on Atlántida, over which he would labour for 20 years without being able to finish it. Inspired by the poem by Jacinto Verdaguer, he originally intended to create a great stage cantata to represent the mythological-allegorical story of the legendary city of Atlantis submerged by the sea, later connecting with the discovery of the new world by Christopher Columbus, and signifying a celebration of Spain’s spread of Christianity. But after Falla’s death in Argentina, only 20 minutes of fully viable full score existed. The rest comprised outlines, sketches and fragments, which even decades of effort by his devoted pupil Ernesto Halffter never managed to work into a convincing whole. Yet scenes here and there, and above all, the formidable ten-minute Prologue, suggest the magnitude of the achievement, Ethel Smyth’s The wreckers is a different kettle had he ever managed to pull it together. of mermaids, more verismo than mythological.

The plot details the events of a stormy night Interestingly, one of Falla’s main references for set in a poor late 18th-century Cornish Atlántida was Wagner’s Parsifal, ‘for its intense community, whose pious Methodism somehow and serene mystical expression, among the justifies their belief that God occasionally most sublime manifestations that we owe sends them wrecked ships to plunder (and to the art of all times’. Falla held conflicting incidentally, murder the survivors). Like attitudes towards the German composer, Dvorák, her greatest musical variously describing him as a ‘victim of his influence seems to have been times’, citing his ‘musical heterodoxy’ in his Wagner, with dense, brassy, avoidance of the laws of tonality, and his ‘facile’ rich orchestration and use of use of excessive sequences. Nevertheless, he repeating leitmotifs, together praises Wagner’s strivings to achieve a ‘pure with flourishes from Brahms ideal’ even though this eluded him, and as and even Sullivan, prompting Germán García Tomás writes in Opera World, critics to label her work a ‘listening to the vocal treatment of the seven synthesis drawing its ideas Pleiades it is difficult not to remember the song from others, a document of its of the Rhinemaidens’. time.

These four operas can be heard in September In 1926, the Spanish at 8pm on Wednesdays.

Nevertheless Karlowicz developed an original musical language expressed through harmony and colourful orchestration. His life was cut short in 1909 at the age of 32 when he was caught in an avalanche while skiing in the Tatra Mountains. His music has an important place in the history of Polish music between that of Chopin and Szymanowski.

One of Australia’s most loved and acclaimed sopranos, Sara Macliver and Australian-born international conductor Benjamin Bayl join the Australian Haydn Ensemble for a stunning program of Handel and Scarlatti.

The program centres around the theme of ‘The Delirium of Love’. Handel’s cantata Il delirio amoroso was written during Handel’s time in Italy and was first performed in 1707.

It features a virtuosic soprano line that is beautifully balanced by solo writing for oboe, recorder and cello. Handel later reused parts

of the work in Acis and Galatea and Jephtha.

Il delirio is beautifully contrasted by Silete venti, one of Handel’s most transcendent motets which traverses the boundaries of divine and mortal love.

The program also features Handel’s beautiful and tragic love aria Tornami a vagheggiar from Alcina, along with two powerful concerto grossi: the first by Charles Avison, after Domenico Scarlatti; the second by Alessandro Scarlatti.

Can you think of any composers who wrote classical Spanish music, but were not Spanish?

How about Rimsky-Korsakov with his Capriccio espagnole, Bizet’s Carmen, Ravel’s Bolèro and Rapsodie espagnole, Tchaikovsky’s Spanish dances from his ballets Swan Lake and The Nutcracker, Debussy’s Ibéria, Chabrier’s España, Boccherini’s Fandango, Lalo, Liszt, … the list goes on!

MUSICAL FAMILIES ELIZABETH HILL EXPLORES MUSICAL INFLUENCERS The Italian early Baroque composer, Giulio Caccini, was one of the most influential creators of the new Baroque style.

Francesca Caccini

Recognising the young Caccini’s talent, Francesco de’ Medici took him to Florence where he became a famous tenor by the age of 30. Although well connected with prominent Florentine families, his advancement was not always honourably motivated and he was involved in various scandals. His intense rivalry with Emilio Cavalieri and Jacopo Peri caused him to scheme to have Cavalieri removed as music director for the wedding of Maria de’ Medici and Henry IV of France; and desperate to found the opera genre he rushed his opera Euridice to print some six weeks before Peri’s opera on the same subject was published.

life was the establishment of a famous singing group comprising his second wife and his three children. Caccini composed and taught until his death in 1618, with his foremost pupil being his daughter Francesca. Under her father’s tutelage, she showcased her talents in roles her father wrote for the stage, played lute, harp and keyboard, and taught singing, instrumental performance and composition.

She was also a talented poet and wrote lyrics in Italian and Latin for most of her published songs.

Her opera La liberazione di Ruggiero dall’isola d’Alcina (the first opera by a woman) was written when Florence was under the control of the Grand Duchess Maria Magdalena and Christine of Lorraine who, in the works they commissioned, pushed for confident, righteous female protagonists. Sadly, only a few of Francesca’s compositions have survived, including Il Primo Libro delle Musiche, a collection of 32 songs and four soprano and bass duets.

Spanish composer, impresario and influential vocal instructor, Manuel Garcia also sired a musical family. He was the celebrated tenor for whom Rossini created the role of Count Almaviva in The barber of Seville. A noted pedagogue, he was tyrannical in the musical education of his children, and was determined to make his daughter Maria one of the world’s most brilliant singers.

An important contribution he made to Court 42

SEPTEMBER 2019

Pauline Viardot

Manuel Garcia Junior was a singer, educator and vocal pedagogue. He studied as a baritone, but retired from singing in 1829 to study the physiological aspects of the voice.

A treatise he published in 1840 served as the foundation of all subsequent investigations into the voice, and his invention of the laryngoscope brought him world fame. He was a professor at the Paris Conservatoire, at the London Royal Academy of Music and at the Royal College of Music. He died in London at the age of 101.

Caccini received support from the Florentine noble Giovanni de’ Bardi who formed the Florentine Camerata, a movement of scholars, writers and musicians who influenced trends in the arts. With Caccini’s contribution, the Camerata developed the concept of stile recitativo, which resulted in the development of what came to be known as the Baroque style, and developed later into the operatic recitative.

One of the earliest examples of music written in the early Baroque style is Caccini’s Nuove musiche (1602), a collection of madrigals and arias for voice and basso continuo, the introduction to which contains an important treatise on singing styles. Caccini trained many singers in this new style, including Giovanni Magli, the castrato who sang in the first production of Monteverdi’s Orfeo. This new style of solo singing and new type of musical drama is one that we now call opera.

Paris, London, Europe and New York. She was always known by her married name of Malibran although she left her husband after one year. Sadly, a month after her second marriage to the violinist Charles-Auguste de Bériot, she died at the age of 28 after collapsing on stage as the result of injuries sustained in a fall from a horse. Described as having an extraordinary voice, Maria had many admirers. Rossini said ‘she surpassed all who sought to emulate her, and with her superior mind, her breadth of knowledge and unimaginable fieriness of temperament she outshone all other women I have known’.

While mostly remembered for her operatic performances, she also composed about 50 songs in French, Italian and English.

Manuel Garcia as Otello

Maria, who had a stormy personality, lived and died dramatically. She made her first stage appearance at five, and following her London debut at the age of 17 received acclaim in

Their sister Pauline’s place in the Garcia family’s artistic kingdom was secured at an early age. She studied singing with her father, and piano with Liszt, who said she was ‘the first woman composer of genius’. After her father’s death Pauline, managed by her husband Louis Viardot, focused her attention on singing but she remained an outstanding pianist throughout her life. Her operatic debut was as Desdemona in Rossini’s Otello and her extraordinary talent and charisma inspired dedications and roles written specifically for her. Not only a star of the operatic stage, she was a versatile musician who excelled as a

Combining the styles of Ravel and Stravinsky with English Romanticism, he anticipated many trends associated with later English composers. Wagner, Richard Strauss and Vaughan Williams were crucial in his musical development and he was inspired by the English folksong revival of the early 20th century. In turn he influenced a number of English composers, including Tippet and Britten.

Gustav Holst

linguist, composer, collaborator, entrepreneur, costume designer and teacher. She retired from opera at the age of 41, but continued to give recitals and teach until her death at the age of 89.

Pauline’s son Paul Viardot carried on the family tradition, becoming a violinist and musicologist. Encouraged by Bériot, his Aunt Maria’s husband, Paul studied at the Brussels Conservatory with Bériot’s successor Hubert Léonard.

Another famous father, Gustav Holst, is often thought of as a one-work composer. Certainly his claim to fame came with the international success of his orchestral suite The planets, but his oeuvre contains opera, choral works and instrumental pieces that were played frequently in the early 20th century.

After graduating from the Royal College of Music he made his living playing trombone and teaching. His most important posts were as Music Master at St Paul’s Girls School and Director of Music at Morley College, and his pioneering teaching methods were influential in musical education in many English schools.

The Holst Society, launched in 2017, is aiming to bring his work to a wider audience by promoting and sponsoring performances and recordings of his compositions, particularly the choral repertoire for which he was renowned.

Imogen Holst was the only child of Gustav and his wife Emily Harrison, a soprano and Gustav’s former student. Today, Imogen is perhaps best known as Benjamin Britten’s amanuensis (1952-1964), but she excelled as a composer and conductor.

Like her father, she was a pioneer in 20th century British music, dedicated to the task of encouraging amateur music-making.

During World War II she belonged to a group of musicians charged with organising musical activities in England’s rural areas. In 1943, she started a music training course at Dartington Hall in Devon, which became the remarkable music school, Dartington College.

In the early 1950s she moved to Aldeburgh, working closely with Benjamin Britten and for the Aldeburgh Festival, of which she was artistic director for over 20 years. At the encouragement of Peter Pears she formed and conducted a chamber choir of young singers in London known as the Purcell Singers, giving concerts and broadcasts of works ranging from seldom heard medieval music to 20th century pieces.

After retirement she devoted most of her time to completing a thematic catalogue of her father’s music, a proud tribute to his musical legacy.

Imogen Holst

Musical Families, featuring these three remarkable families, can be heard at 2pm on Tuesdays 3 and 17 September.

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES FINE MUSIC FAREWELLS JOE NEUSTATL “Enjoy, Learn, Discuss was my meeting point with Joe,” says Mary Lenart. Joe Neustatl became very involved in this Sunday afternoon series, presenting some interesting talks based on his huge collection of CDs. At other talks he participated in the Q&A and Mary, as one of the organisers, was grateful for his assistance in preparing refreshments for the attendees.

“His interest, his kindness and his friendly approach added to the pleasant atmosphere and value of the ELD presentations.”

Long before Joe became involved in these talks, Mary had listened to Thanks for the Memory, a nostalgia program that Joe had programmed and presented for many years on 2MBS-Fine Music, until a few years ago.

Having come from Czechoslovakia as an adult, Joe’s music choices were mainly influenced by Germanic and middle European culture. While the program was enjoyed by many people, Mary, who had come from Hungary, said that for the European-born audience, it brought back teenage memories. She said: “I would have never missed this program. We listened and sang together.”

Joe Neustatl

Joe’s other main programming contribution to Fine Music was operetta. He began in the early days with LPs but later, as technology progressed, he transferred many of them to CD so that we could still enjoy the many delightful recordings in his collection.

An important contribution by Joe that is not

generally known is that he was involved in the project of transferring station LPs to CD. He didn’t do the transfers but was on hand to translate any LP notes that were in Czech for the booklets that we were making for the CDs. We had many recordings donated by the Czech Consulate but the text on the covers was mostly in the Czech language. This was a common problem with European recordings and we were fortunate to have so many volunteers who had come from European countries who were able to assist with translations. Mary Lenart was also involved in translating the Hungarian notes. This enabled us to make booklets with the full original notes.

Joe Neustatl passed away recently at the age of 88 years. There are probably other aspects of his volunteer work of which most of us have no knowledge but we know that he was always so willing to do whatever was needed. He loved the ‘Fine Music family’ and is someone who will not be forgotten by those who worked with him. Since joining in the 1970s, Joe had given over 40 years of volunteer service to Fine Music.

CD REVIEWS THE GARDEN PARTY Celebrating Twenty Years of The Marais Project Guest artists: Belinda Montgomery, Melissa Farrow, Fiona Ziegler, Emily-Rose Sarkova Move MCD 592

HHHH½

ARROW Chaika Chaika 003 HHHH

The Garden Party is the latest CD release by The Marais Project, Fine Music’s Artists-inResidence ensemble for 2019. The ensemble was formed in 2000 and this disc is a celebration of its music making since that time.

How is it that a consort of viole da gamba, lute, theorbo and baroque guitar that specialises in music from 17th century France is still going from strength to strength after 20 years?

Its success is due to the sunny personality and vision of its leader Jennifer Eriksson who has ensured that The Marais Project would be a contemporary as well as a historically-informed ensemble. On this disc commissioned works by composers such as Stephen Yates and Kevin Hunt feature side by side with those of Marais and Bouteiller. The title track The garden party is a new jazz/baroque fusion work by Jennifer herself!

The Sydney-based ensemble Chaika takes its name from the Bulgarian word for seagull.

It is an appropriate name: there is a distinctly Balkan sound to much of their music, and many of their compositions have the natural world as theme or setting.

On Arrow, Chaika’s third album, the six musicians play clarinet, violin, accordion, piano, percussion, guitar and double bass, and all sing. Taking inspiration from jazz, classical music and various folk traditions, the result is music that blends and juxtaposes genres and textures, with instruments and voices sometimes intertwining, sometimes standing in isolation.

The first song on the album, Little bird, by violinist Susie Bishop, is also the longest, with slow and sinuous violin and accordion followed by clarinet and double bass giving way to an increasingly fast and rhythmic passage with

MOVE 50 24 Australian composers celebrate 50 years of Move Records Various performers Move MD 3450 HHH½

2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Move Records, the boutique music label from Melbourne that specialises in music recorded by Australian classical and jazz artists. To celebrate, Move has released a recording of works written to mark this milestone. Almost all of the pieces were specially composed for this recording, and originate from well-known composers such as Julian Yu and Brenton Broadstock, and from less familiar composers such as Eve Duncan and Linda Kouvaras.

The most prominent artist on the recording is Michael Kieran Harvey, who performs on 15 of the 24 tracks. There is jazz from Tony Gould and Christopher Young alongside experimental music from Ron Nagorka and Warren Burt, and songs sung by

Collaborations also extend to the excellent musicians who work with The Marais Project adding new colours and pleasure to the gentle braying of the viols. The beautiful soprano voice of Belinda Montgomery is particularly gorgeous in Bouteiller’s motet O salutaris hostia and Melissa Farrow’s powerful, yet oh-so-delicate, traverso playing and Fiona Ziegler’s tasteful violin virtuosity perfectly balance the continuo of bass viol and theorbo in Marais’ Pièces en trio in G minor. This being a Garden Party with the Marais Project don’t be surprised when singing accordionist EmilyRose Sarkova joins the fun.

Light-hearted yet tasteful, serious but entertaining, The Garden Party is an irresistible treat.

vocals, before dropping away to finish slowly.

The other composition with an avian theme, Pinguinos, also by Susie Bishop, is an upbeat instrumental describing the movements of penguins.

Two pieces are arrangements of traditional folk songs. I riden så (Ye ride so carefully through the grove with her) is Swedish and its haunting, evocative vocals convey its sombre theme. Çayelinden öteye (Let’s go beyond Çayeli) is Turkish and features much percussion and serpentine accordion. I found two songs by the clarinettist Laura Altman very appealing: Colour song has wordless vocals, at first ethereal, and then arpeggiated; Am I is quiet and dreamlike with massed wordless vocals over a piano figure.

This disc is recommended for its diversity, unpredictability and rhythmic verve.

Paul Cooke Merlyn Quaife and Lyndon Green. The CD as a whole resembles more a bag of lollies than a unified artistic voice, due to the large number of different composers and performers.

This diversity ensures that the CD displays the breadth of contemporary Australian music. In this short review it would be unfair to pick out any particular pieces, but the CD has something for everyone. Throughout the recordings, the upwelling of respect and warmth towards Move from all the contributors is obvious, and the CD is a wonderfully fitting way for Move to celebrate this significant point in its history. This recording is a time capsule of the music of today.

A TRIBUTE TO KEN WEATHERLEY ROBERT VALE PROFILES A GENEROUS BENEFACTOR Young musicians are being assisted in their careers through the very generous support of Fine Music benefactors. Some years ago, the bequest of Stefan Kruger led to the Kruger Scholarship being set up for classical performers. Now, due to the generosity of Ken Weatherley, the Weatherley Scholarship for young jazz performers has been inaugurated.

Fine Music Jazz presenter Ken Weatherley passed away on 4 July 2018 after a career in radio that spanned 40 years.

Ken, a graphic design artist, was born in London and became a stalwart of that city’s jazz scene. It was a golden era that included such iconic figures as Johnny Dankworth, Stan Tracey and Tubby Hayes. Ken migrated to Melbourne in the early 1970s. With the advent of FM transmission in the mid-1970s he became interested in broadcasting and presented jazz on a Victorian community station for three years. Jazz was at the core of Ken’s life and the conduit to so many of his friendships. His radio career was inspired by his friendship with leading jazz presenter of the day, Ralph Rickman.

2017 presented the Monday night program Jazz Nice & Easy, a title which was not only musically apt but also an expression of Ken’s warm personality. Ken was also a major contributor to the launching of Fine Music DAB+ by producing and presenting over 300 hours of programs. These included highlights from his London listenings and from contemporary and Australian musicians whom he admired. He prepared his programs well in advance and put them aside so that his presentation on air was fresh as he found new delight in his choices.

Ken transferred to Sydney in the 1980s and was a long-time presenter at Eastside Radio.

As well, he had a particular interest in the activities of the Jazz Department of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and was keen to see the fostering of young jazz talent.

He joined Fine Music in 2013 and until

Following Ken’s death, a sizeable bequest was left to Fine Music to support young jazz talent. In accordance with Ken’s wishes Fine Music has created a scholarship named in his honour thereby perpetuating his memory. Ken also left his music collection to the Fine Music Jazz Library, so his wide choice of jazz will continue to be heard on our various programs.

He is fondly and gratefully remembered by those who knew him and those who will benefit from his generosity.

The recipient of the Ken Weatherley Jazz Scholarship will be announced soon.

JAZZ AFTER HOURS FINE MUSIC WELCOMES A NEW JAZZ TEAM does not lose the originating melody, and jazz for the 21st century. Sue (first Sunday) brings a wide background of knowledge and tastes and is not afraid to delve into classical roots and up-tempo jazz along with the Great American Songbook. David (third Sunday) was brought up listening to the greats of swing, so this genre is his first musical love. Classical music has enhanced his deep knowledge of jazz, all presented with his smooth style.

Jazz has a history of late-night listening, and Fine Music’s Jazz After Hours reflects this with music that is engaging and stimulating, improvised and cool, smooth and gentle. The program embraces the jazz genres, so expect to hear some traditional and big-band themes, some bebop and Latin, mainstream and swing, and emerging jazz of the 21st century.

Fine Music has a goal to develop and promote emerging and Australian jazz, so included are live recordings, master musicians and exciting new student jazz.

Presenters Keith Pettigrew, Sue Jowell and David Knapp are bringing a fresh style to this Sunday night program, which was previously presented for many years by our late colleague Kevin Jones. Each brings a different essence to the program, along with common themes.

There is time to explore an album to reveal a performer’s craft through related tracks. There are also longer tracks to take listeners on a journey of inspiration and engagement, and of course there are some familiar favourites to stir the memories.

Jazz After Hours is a program for those who choose to engage with jazz and enjoy the stories that it tells along with the curiosities of its making.

You can hear it on Sundays from 10pm till midnight on 102.5, DAB+ and live streaming.

Keith Pettigrew

Keith is the latest volunteer to join the jazz team and will broadcast on the second and fourth Sundays. He has a preference for the earthy, breathy sounds of the baritone and tenor sax and double bass, improvisation that

WINTER SUITE CALLUM O’REILLY WINS THE YOUNG COMPOSER AWARD have great potential. This year’s recipient was Daniel Riley from Melbourne.

“I’m excited and humbled to have been selected from such a strong field across Australia. Hopefully in this performance I can communicate something special to the audience through my music,” says Callum O’Reilly who has been awarded the 2019 Fine Music 102.5 / Willoughby Symphony Young Composer Award.

Winning this competition provides him with $5000 to assist him in furthering his career.

As part of the prize, his Winter suite for solo trumpet and orchestra was premiered by the Willoughby Symphony Orchestra early in June. To have his composition played by a symphony orchestra is an experience that Callum says is unforgettable.

Winter suite, in three parts, represents Callum’s favourite aspects of winter: wind through leaves, rain and warmth from friends.

Naturally he has dedicated it to his two best friends. His musical inspiration for the piece comes from 70s jazz, hip-hop, minimalism and classical music.

The Fine Music 102.5 / Willoughby Symphony Young Composer Award is the only national award of its kind. In its 14th year the

competition attracted 18 entrants from all over Australia. The young winners gain recognition in the musical world and are given further opportunities to create music and to have it performed. Each year, as part of this competition, the Australian Performing Rights Association gives an Encouragement Award of $500 to a young composer considered to

Callum, who is 22 years of age, studied composition at the Western Australian Academy for Performing Arts and is currently writing his honours thesis. However, he was interested in music and composing from an early age. He played jazz and also guitar and classical drums in a concert band, but his inspiration to compose for orchestra came from listening to the music of Mahler, Copland, Bernstein and Gershwin, and to John Williams’ music for the Star Wars films. “I knew for sure that I wanted to compose orchestral music after listening to Mahler’s Second Symphony,” he says, and adds that the sound of the orchestra and the atmosphere of the concert hall really appeal to him. He is currently co-arranging music for the Perth Symphony Orchestra.

Composing music is a personal journey for Callum. “I am pretty spiritual about my music and I believe it’s a great way to explore things deep within myself that I can’t express using words.”

You can hear Callum’s Winter suite in the Willoughby Symphony concert, Pastoral, at 1pm on Monday 23 September.

A MUSICAL LIFE IN BRIEF ELIZABETH HILL PROFILES PEGGY GLANVILLE-HICKS In the late 1950s she retreated to Greece to write ‘the big works’, most notably the operas which lie at the heart of her creative output.

Her compositional career ended prematurely, and tragically, in 1967 following surgery the previous year for a life-threatening brain tumour. Against all medical expectations she went on to live for a further 24 years, returning to Australia in 1975 amidst a dawning recognition that one of the country’s most significant composers had returned.

Although now acknowledged as a significant Australian composer, Peggy Glanville-Hicks’ most productive years were spent in England and America.

Born in Melbourne in 1912, she began lessons in composition with Fritz Hart at the age of 15.

In 1931 she won an open scholarship to the Royal College of Music in London, where she studied composition with Vaughan Williams, piano with Arthur Benjamin and conducting with Constant Lambert and later Malcolm Sargent. In 1936 she studied in Vienna with Egon Wellesz, and in Paris with the great pedagogue, Nadia Boulanger.

Her training with Hart and Vaughan Williams (who were important figures in the revival of English, Welsh and Irish folk music) secured an affinity with English choral sound, consonant harmonies and modal melodies, especially traditional or folk melodies, and influenced her view on composing for the people.

Her move to America in 1941 shaped the musical direction of her late works and she became a highly influential figure in the 46

SEPTEMBER 2019

vibrant musical life of New York. After a brief neoclassical phase, she joined a small group of American composers who were using nonWestern music as their inspiration. During this time she also forged an illustrious career as a music journalist and arts administrator, working tirelessly to promote new music and the careers of young composers. Her forceful voice as a writer and commentator helped shape professional and public opinion on the state of American composing.

Glanville-Hicks’ career as a composer is impressive. She developed an interesting and distinctive style that reflected her ethnomusicological interests, and her fascination with Greek, Aegean demotic and Far Eastern music combined with contemporary techniques gave her a unique musical voice. She produced over 70 finelycrafted works, including operas, ballets, concertos, instrumental chamber pieces, songs and choral works.

Music of Peggy Glanville-Hicks can be heard on Monday 2 September at 2.30pm.

MUSIC IS AN ESSENTIAL FOOD MONA OMAR TALKS TO DAN BICKEL Music studio environment a stimulating one, attributing his enjoyment to his colleagues, an enthusiastic group of people, united by their depth of knowledge and passion for music, who have created a ‘self-selected refuge for like-minded individuals’.

Dan Bickel began listening to classical music on the radio from an early age. A native of Michigan, USA, he was able to listen to broadcasts on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) Radio, given Michigan’s proximity to the Canadian border. “In the 1950s and 60s CBC had an excellent range of musical and cultural programs … compared to the United States which, apart from the East and West coasts, a few larger inland cities and major university towns, was a classical broadcasting wasteland.” He believes the role of radio broadcasting should be to provide a wide range of music with informative commentary and no baggage except for that which you carry away inside your head. It was this belief that led Dan to begin to listening to 2MBS-FM shortly after its establishment.

He finally joined Fine Music as a volunteer in 2018 after retiring from a 35-year career as an entomologist at the Australian Museum. “I can kick myself for not coming in much earlier!” says Dan. When asked what influenced him to volunteer at Fine Music, Dan said that

Music has always been the centre of a wider cultural context for Dan, who believes listening to music exposes the listener to history, myth, geography and ethnic diversity. His music favourites include Sibelius, ‘for his profound and elemental music’, late 19th and 20th century composers, as well as a wide range of other music including jazz and contemporary music genres. He only recently started collecting recordings, as ‘they are a burden when moving around, and if you already know the pieces you are buying, you will never get a chance to hear new or exotic music’.

‘music is an essential food, it feeds the spirit … it is an important criterion for selecting the people you enjoy being with’. He finds the Fine

Although he learned to play the violin when he was younger, Dan discontinued playing after discovering he had many other interests, and is these days more than happy to help form the audience.

Our major programming celebration in September is to recognise the 200th anniversary of the birth of Clara Schumann. This is an opportunity to explore many of her compositions, most of which are not well known. In her lifetime she was acclaimed as a great pianist and the article on page 5 will show the high regard in which she was held.

Other anniversary celebrations are for the completion of the thrilling piano work Islamey by Balakirev (150) and the premiere of Wagner’s opera Das Rheingold (150).

The 2019 Fine Music / Willoughby Symphony Young Composer Award recipient, Callum O’Reilly, is also being recognised and you’ll be able to hear his winning composition, Winter suite for

Sadly, many volunteers who have given great service to 2MBSFine Music have passed on and we are unable to recognise them all in the magazine. However, this month we are remembering two volunteers who’ve contributed a great deal as programmers and presenters. Joe Neustatl, a volunteer since the 1970s, was mostly involved in nostalgia and operetta programs; Ken Weatherley, a more recent volunteer and member of the jazz team, has left a major bequest that has set up the Ken Weatherley Jazz Scholarship for young musicians.

I haven’t mentioned every article but once again our volunteer writers have provided some interesting and informative reading for you. Enjoy!
