Podcast appearances and mentions of peter sculthorpe

Peter en de Wolf, Peter Beets én Peter Sculthorpe komen samen in één muziekstuk. Die laatste is op 29 april geboren, dus dat vieren we komende week! En dat geldt ook voor Duke Ellington, dus ook zijn muziek klinkt in deze aflevering!

Violist Irina Morozova has a long and distinguished career, including as principal viola of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, the Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra, and guest principal of the Sydney Symphony and Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestras. But it's as part of the Goldner String Quartet that she and her fellow musicians Dene Olding, Dimity Hall and Julian Smiles, have found a significant place in the hearts of Australia's classical music lovers. Long been considered Australia's pre-eminent string quartet, the Golders are considered among the best quartets in the world. They've recorded 19 albums covering repertoire from Beethoven to Peter Sculthorpe and have performed internationally including at London's Wigmore Hall and at the Biennale in Venice. But this year, their 30th season, is also their last, with their farewell concert taking place this Sunday 8th of December at the Verbruggen Hall of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in association with Musica Viva. Irina talks about the significant place the Golden String Quartet has had in her life and heart. The music she shares is done so with thoughtfulness and passion, and her story is inspiring.

In de loop van de jaren zeventig en tachtig werden tal van Australische componisten ook in Europa en de Verenigde Staten steeds meer bekend. Onder hen was Peter Sculthorpe de meest ‘Australische' door zijn gebruik van bijvoorbeeld de klankenwereld van de didgeridoo. Maar ook de nachtelijke geluiden in het kwartet van Andrew Ford zijn fascinerend. […]

Peter Sculthorpe, Don Banks en Carl Vine studeerden in Europa of de VS en ontwikkeleden een geheel eigen taal. Toch waren zij bovenal ook overduidelijk Australiërs door hun opvallend onconventionele toontaal. De dogmatische houding die in Europa ten aanzien van een ‘moderne' muziek golden, speelden in Australië ook niet echt mee. Maar wel de invloeden […]

Synopsis On today’s date in 1899, Edward Kennedy Ellington was born in Washington, D.C. The son of a former White House butler, Elllington was born into a comfortable middle-class African American household. After piano lessons from the aptly named Miss Klinkscales, Ellington composed his first original piece, “The Soda Fountain Rag.” Two important mentors were a local dance band leader, Oliver “Doc” Perry and a high school music teacher named Henry Grant, who introduced Ellington to classical composers like Debussy. “From both these men I received freely and generously,” recalled Ellington. “ I repaid them as I could, by playing piano for Mr. Perry, and by learning all I could from Mr. Grant.” Always a stylish dresser, Ellington was nicknamed “The Duke” by friends, and while still in his teens, the five-piece dance band he formed was playing in New York City. That ensemble grew to 11 men by 1930 and to an orchestra of 19 by 1946. The Ellington orchestra was an ensemble of jazz virtuosos, and for them Ellington would compose some 2000 original works, a body of music extensively documented in public and private recordings, and now regarded as one of the most astonishing musical accomplishments of the 20th century.

Internationally-renowned composer Anne Boyd is in conversation with composer Thomas Metcalf, discussing her life and music ahead of a performance of her String Quartet No. 2 ’Play on the Water’ later this year. This is part of the TORCH project ‘Pixelating the River’: Engagement with Contemporary Music through Graphical Inputs, played by the Kreutzer Quartet, alongside a new work by Thomas Metcalf. Professor Anne Boyd AM is one of Australia’s most distinguished composers and music educators. Her undergraduate studies were in the Department of Music at the University of Sydney, where Peter Sculthorpe was her earliest and most influential composition teacher. The award of a Commonwealth Scholarship enabled her to undertake a PhD in composition at the University of York (1969-72), where her supervisors were Wilfrid Mellers and Bernard Rands. In 1990, Boyd became the first Australian (and the first woman) to be appointed Professor of Music at the University of Sydney. Before this, she was the Foundation Head of the Department of Music at the University of Hong Kong (1981–90) and taught at the University of Sussex (1972–77). The hallmarks of her musical style are its transparency, gentleness and delicacy, attributes which reflect her long involvement with Asian traditions, especially those of Japan and Indonesia. Two solo CDs of her music are Meditations on a Chinese Character (ABC Classics, 1997) and Crossing a Bridge of Dreams (Tall Poppies, 2000). Professor Boyd was honoured with an AM in the Order of Australia in 1996, an Honorary Doctorate from the University of York in 2003, the Distinguished Services to Australian Music Award at the APRA-AMC Classical Music Awards in 2005 and the 2014 Sir Bernard Heinz Award for service to music in Australia. Biography taken from Faber Music, 2021 Thomas Metcalf is a composer and DPhil candidate in Music at Oxford University (Worcester College), where he is researching the transformation of graphical spaces into determinately–notated music – focusing on a range of composers in the 20th and 21st centuries. His research has been recognised in the UK and internationally, appearing in peer-reviewed journals as well as diverse conference settings in Europe. Beginning his composition training with Robert Saxton at Oxford in October 2014, Thomas subsequently achieved a first–class BA in Music and an MSt in Composition with distinction as the Ogilvie–Thompson Scholar of Worcester College. Since January 2020, Thomas has studied with Kenneth Hesketh, focusing specifically on graphical methods of determinate composition, a process that is present in much of Hesketh’s recent work. Thomas’s works have been performed by a variety of ensembles, such as the ANIMA Collective, BBC Singers, Christ Church Cathedral Choir, GBSR Duo, Oxford Philharmonic, St. Pancras Parish Church Choir, and the Villiers Quartet. He has worked with composers such as Judith Weir, Michael Zev Gordon, Henning Kraggerud, and Dario Marianelli. He has also collaborated with festivals such as Oxford Lieder Festival (2018), Oxford Chamber Music Festival (2019), and the Vale of Glamorgan Festival (as part of the Peter Reynolds Composers Studio) (2020).

We're on our tenth episode! Blimey that's flown. To celebrate, out big guest chat of the ep is with the award winning Australian-British conductor Jessica Cottis who has, among others, performed with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, and the BBC Concert Orchestra, and has been described as “cool, contained, super-articulate and engaging” - given that the first three at least are the opposite of us, she seemed like the perfect guest.The early morning recording (read 11:30am) also sent us somewhat giddy, so expect our most consistently lewd recommendations chat yet, complete with inappropriate underwear and EE Cummings - don't worry though, we're not quite as randy as Bernadine Evaristo.

Welcome to episode 20 -We were beyond excited to interview the wonderful artist, Blak Douglas, at his Marrickville studio last week. Blak Douglas was born in Western Sydney to a Dhungatti Aboriginal Father and Caucasian Mother, Blak Douglas was trained in illustration & photography and became self–practiced in painting. Blak Douglas is also a classically trained Yidaki player performing nationally and internationally accompanying the likes of Albert David, Christine Anu, Gondwanna Voices, Paul Jarman, Jessica Mauboy, Jane Rutter, Music Viva and Peter Sculthorpe. He has been a finalist in the Archibald prize three times along with the Mosman art prize, the Wynne prize and won the Kilgour art prize in 2019 and much more! @blakdouglas was incredibly candid and open about his career, the Archibald prize, his use of materials, the art world, sponsorship by @3m masking tape and @permaplastik paint. He spoke about the political aspects of his work and his upcoming 'Blak Swans' series focusing on his response to the Blak lives matter movement - ‘So the immediate image that sprung to my mind is that of the ultimate metaphor for such an empowering individual… the Blak ballerina. The antithesis of white conservatism and clinical colonialism. A sacrilegious spectacle of uncouth representation. Here we have the beginnings of freedom of race, culture and most importantly – movement & grace. A celebration of EVERYTHING that has been denied to our Grandmothers, Aunties and Mothers. My suite of sweets dance at will across THEIR countries, celebrating THEIR connections and emotions. All the while, mimicking the very art form that has become the conservative constraint that has for some 200yrs silenced her dances upon this continent.'He is painting Dujuan of @inmyblooditruns for the 2020 Archibald prize. We can't wait to see that one. We learnt so much from this interview, thanks again Blak Douglas. Find out more about him at www.blakdouglas.com.au  Happy listening and don't forget to rate, review and share this podcast!

Mabel and Ivy Windred-Wornes are a sister folk duo who started busking Appalachian folk songs when they were 11 and 8. Songwriting followed, and now they're regulars on the folk festival circuit. They sing gorgeous harmonies and play violin, guitar, banjo, cello, piano… the list goes on. Australian Music and Modernism, 1960–1975 charts a time in Australia's recent past when music (and the arts in general) were a vital and stimulating part of the national discourse. Composers such as Peter Sculthorpe, Richard Meale and Nigel Butterley, Don Banks and David Lumsdaine, brought an Australian accent to cosmopolitan modernism.

Mau Power is the first rapper to emerge from the rich musical traditions of the Torres Strait Islands. His new album ‘Blue Lotus the Awakening' features the Yorta Yorta singer, songwriter and guitarist Benny Walker. And some of the most beloved and intimate music is made by just three instruments: piano, cello and violin. Seraphim Trio has just released a five-disc album celebrating the history of piano trios –from Dvořák to Mendelssohn to Peter Sculthorpe.

This coffee break explores music that pushes the limits of sound that can be called music--compositions that don't contain the balance of harmony, rhythm, and melody. We listen to pieces from the 18th Century William Billings, the recently passed composer Peter Sculthorpe, and others. We check out what it sounds like when the piano is played from the inside out, then ask the question, can environmental sounds be called music? Contact the show at yccb@mauriceriverpress.com

Work for string orchestra by Phyllis Chen performed by A Far Cry on April 17, 2014 and works for clarinet and piano by Peter Sculthorpe and Richard Stoltzman performed by Richard Stoltzman, clarinet and David Deveau, piano on January 11, 2015.Chen, Phyllis: Three LullabiesSculthorpe, Peter: Songs of Sea and SkyTraditional: Amazing Grace, arrangement by Richard StoltzmanOn this podcast, we’ll hear three works that we’re grouping under the title Sweetly Sung. All three pieces were written within the past several decades, some based on real, traditional folk songs, others on imagined lullabies.The first of the three pieces is by composer and pianist Phyllis Chen, who is particularly known for her performances on an instrument rarely seen in the classical concert hall: the toy piano. We’ll hear Chen perform with A Far Cry, a set of three Lullabies she wrote for string orchestra and herself, as soloist.Following the lullabies are two pieces featuring clarinetist Richard Stoltzman and pianist David Deveau. First is Songs of Sea and Sky, a 1987 piece of about 15 minutes by Australian composer Peter Sculthorpe. The work builds on a traditional tune from the tiny island nation of Saibai.Last, we’ll hear an arrangement of another traditional tune, this one much more familiar to American listeners: Amazing Grace, arranged by the clarinetist himself, Richard Stoltzman.

The land drew Sue and David Woods to Australia's 'red centre,' to establish Campfire in the Heart as a place of spiritual reflection, while it also also inspired Peter Sculthorpe's music, according to composer and close friend Anne Boyd.
