A Way with Words — language, linguistics, and callers from all over
One of the most powerful words you'll ever hear — and one of the most poignant — isn't in dictionaries yet. But it probably will be one day. The word is endling, and it means “the last surviving member of a species.” The surprising story behind this word includes a doctor in a Georgia convalescent center, a museum exhibit in Australia, the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, and much more. Also: how important is linguistic accuracy when it comes to a movie? Does it detract from your enjoyment if a fictional character utters a word or phrase that you suspect was not in use at that point in history? Finally: what's the first big word you remember using — the one you just couldn't wait to show off to your family and friends? Plus: a rhyming puzzle, fulano, in the soup, bedroom suit vs. bedroom suite, swarf, boondocks, good people, and tons more.

In this episode Tripod and Poggo find themselves on the road (but only after a flight to Hobart). We're recording live from the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra right before This Gaming Life and we're joined by an exciting guest. The post Episode 40: The Road appeared first on Tripod.
This week's guest is Genevieve Lang, a fellow mum who also sends her children to a Montessori program here in Australia. Now, this was one of those school situations when you realize that amongst us parents, we are still interesting adults with extraordinary life experiences. And it was during the recent lockdown that I had the opportunity to hear her play the harp for us all during our very own harp half hour. What began as an intimate and very personal performance over Zoom turned out to be an opportunity for me to follow my curiosity and ask Genevieve to be a guest on this podcast. I have to say, I needed to muster my courage to make this ask. And this is the kind of bravery that I want to teach you too as a coach. It's the type of courage to share your talent with a new crowd or to reach out to a fellow parent and ask them how they decided on their career. It's the kind of bravery that we all need to live more enriching lives and to ultimately find it within ourselves to finally pursue our purpose right now, even in the midst of messy and uncertain times. It's also the courage that I feature front and center in my free download that you can find on my website on www.melissallarena.com/courage. Have you yet grabbed your own copy of my Courage Makerspace Playbook? In this playbook, you'll have an opportunity to grow and test your own courage muscles. See where they are today and where they can use some strengthening so that you can get more out of your life. Pick any one of my 7 specific exercises and see where you rise up versus fall a bit apart. We all have our own sore spots when it comes to being courageous. So be sure to grab your own free Courage Makerspace Playbook right now. In this episode, we cover how some of our best and most intimate memories come out of ordinary moments including when she once played her harp in a carpark. She also shares her take on courage and the kind it took for her to hold back a bit in her own artistry to ensure the audience got what they needed (i.e. moment of silence to heal in some cases). We discuss where the women in music are and have been, as well as some orchestra best hiring practices that are also applicable to business that you may want to implement yourself. About Genevieve Lang Genevieve Lang has performed regularly as a section and guest principal harpist with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. She has also enjoyed a long association with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. Genevieve is a founding member of SHE (Seven Harp Ensemble), a group directed by harpist Alice Giles, which is active in commissioning and performing new Australian music. As a soloist she has performed with the Tasmanian, West Australian and New Zealand Symphony Orchestras. Genevieve has presented courses in chamber music appreciation at the University of Sydney's Centre for Continuing Education and tutored the Australian Youth Orchestra's music journalism course, Words About Music. She has undertaken traineeships in artistic administration and music presentation, which gave her the opportunity to work with a number of Australian orchestras and with ABC Radio. Since then, she has worked with Gondwana Choirs, the Australian Youth Orchestra, and Pinchgut Opera. Genevieve regularly delivers pre-concert talks for the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, and has edited various publications for the SSO for the last 10 years. Amidst all that, she's still a very busy harpist! Share this conversation with anyone who enjoys classical music, who might really miss the arts, someone who is also interested and curious about what it actually takes to become a harpist and truly perform on the world's various stages. Enjoy this conversation today! Highlights Memories: Memories are made in the ordinary moments and the sensations that you experience in your body if you have that level of awareness of rising joy or catching it on the wing, and retaining it. Mastery: Mastering any skill, art or performance exists in the mind of letting go of aiming for perfection and allowing what happens and allowing for the audience to receive it in a very different way to how you might perceive it. Audacity: You have to learn how to channel what is the negative and nervous energy into a positive one and an excitement. It's very much a mental game. Healing: Harp therapy has massive applications from both ends of life – from neonatal tiny little tots in the neonatal ICU right through to end of life, palliative care, and everything in between. Simplicity: To play the harp therapeutically in a medical setting or a respite setting, you have to do very little plucking of the strings. In fact, the medicine is in the spaces between. The resonance of the harp, the way it sounds, and the way it lingers in your body, mind, and your ears is where the therapy is to be found. Simple music is what does the trick. Courage: As a classically-trained performer where she played music with deep complexity, Genevieve felt very uncomfortable with leaving so much space. And it took so much courage for her to hold back and learn to become comfortable with silence. Pattern: Math and music have a correlation in terms of patterns because we see patterns in music all the time and there are math patterns in nature and science. Curiosity: Feeling the need to diversify a little bit away from purely performance, Genevieve took a music journalism course. Is there another way to bring your talents to the world? Explore your alternatives! Creativity: For Genevieve, the act of crafting a narrative and selecting the words of telling the story from start to finish was more creative than anything she has done on the harp for 10 years. An orchestra is an act of performance, but writing words and composing words was a creative art. Ensemble: SHE is a beautiful acronym for Seven Harp Ensemble, that Genevieve is a part of. The individual makeup of the group changes depending on people's availability. History of women in music: Women in music are everywhere. But for a really long time, they've been silenced by societal norms. For example, Clara Schumann had a 61-year career as a concert pianist. Hiring: Women in orchestras started to grow, even outnumbering men. And that's because the screening process has changed where they've gotten rid of gender bias. Diversity: Businesses have adopted the orchestral model in a lot of places. They saw this diversity emerging from this new process of screened auditions. Brain Integration: Music, particularly for a developing mind, is an incredible full brain workout. Emotions: How music elicits emotions is a mystery Genevieve wants to cherish and doesn't want to understand otherwise it will remove a layer of that wonder of being human.

The Engine Room Guest: Laurie Kennedy, has been mentioned in many of my previous interviews due to him having been an in-demand drum teacher and player in South Australia for 40 years. His playing career began in NSW when families gathered together and listened to music shows, drama serials, light entertainment and quiz programs on the radio, Rock 'n' roll was popular in dance halls, and Jazz and Coffee Lounges were The Scene! He has worked with the 'who's who' of the entertainment industry, working in Television, Radio, Musical Theatre, Cabaret, Jazz, Rock, and Orchestral. He has had a truly remarkable musical journey and it was an honour to have him share his story with me. If you enjoy historical stories about the Australian Music Industry, then this episode is definitely for you! The first professional band that he joined was the 'Warren LeRoy Trio', playing at the El Rocco followed by the 'Macambo Quartet' who were very popular at the Macambo Coffee Lounge, where they had a stint of around 4 years during the early 1960s. Late in 1965 he joined his one and only Pop Group called The Grape Escape with Brian Godden, Chris Bonett, and singer/songwriter Norma Stoneman. The Grape Escape signed to RCA Records and released a couple of singles with ''The Easy Life'' (Feb 25th 1967) being the most successful, he returned to NSW when the band called it a day. Laurie worked as a studio drummer at TCN-9 on the Desmond Tester Children's Television show the 'Channel 9- Pins', prior to moving to Adelaide in 1968. In Adelaide he played with the Borodin Quartet at the Paprika Nightclub for 5 years, the band worked 6 nights a week, 7 hours a night! His first teaching job was at Pulteney Grammar School, followed by Blackfriars Priory School, and St Peter's College. In addition, Laurie was an in-demand lecturer in drum, percussion, and rhythm at the Elder Conservatorium, University of Adelaide for 32 years, and lecturer at Noarlunga TAFE for 10 years. He wrote ‘A Guide to Exploring Rhythm - All Instruments and Voice', among other teaching materials. Laurie lived, played and taught in Adelaide for half his lifetime, returning to live in NSW to be closer to his sons when he retired. He has accompanied international Jazz and Variety Artists, did many concerts tours and recordings with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, as well as concerts with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. Recorded with Don Burroughs, James Morrison, George Golla, Errol Buddle, Ted Nettelbeck, Schmoe (Sylvan Elhay), Andy Sugg, and many others.

Episode 5, 2020: Ibert’s Flute Concerto Wednesday 1 July 2020 ANAM Music Librarian, Phil Lambert thinks French composer Jacques Ibert’s most popular compositions sparkle like French champagne. First coming to public attention in the early 1920s, Ibert’s oeuvre is known for being polished and entertaining, never driven by any theory, agenda or the desire to gain attention through shock value. But lest you think that his range is limited, try tracking down Orson Welles’ 1948 film, Macbeth, which owes its ominous and oppressive atmosphere to Ibert’s excellent score. Ibert wrote his Flute Concerto between 1932 and 1934 for his contemporary flautist Marcel Moyse, who is probably considered the greatest flautist of his time. Knowing that he was writing for a virtuoso, Ibert did not spare this composition from any technical difficulty. This is the challenge ANAM alumna Cassandra Slater (flute 2019) had to overcome when mastering this piece for the Grand Final of the 2019 ANAM Concerto Competition . In this episode of ANAM Radio, Cassandra shares with us how she trained “almost like an athlete” to make sure she had the stamina to perform this rather demanding piece with the Tasmania Symphony Orchestra. She also shares some insightful anecdotes about the piece’s second movement, written after Ibert’s father passed away. Cassandra was one of three finalists to perform in the Grand Final of the 2019 ANAM Concerto Competition with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra in Hobart. The music you will hear is from her Melbourne performance where she performed the piece with Louisa Breen on piano.

Episode 2, 2020: Bartók’s Violin Concerto Wednesday 3 June 2020 The 1930s sees the Hungarian composer Béla Bartók at the height of his career as he produced succeeding masterpieces exhibiting strict counterpoints and new sounds. That is why the Violin Concerto he wrote for his close associate, violin virtuoso Zoltán Székely was seen as a step backwards by some as Bartók had to relent to Székely’s request to stick to a more traditional three-movement composition. ANAM Music Librarian Phil Lambert thinks otherwise and revisits this Bartók masterpiece performed by ANAM alumnus Johnny van Gend (violin 2019) at the 2019 ANAM Concerto Competition. Hear Phil and Johnny chat about the great Hungarian composer and the grand ending of the Violin Concerto which again showed Bartók accommodating Székely’s wishes to have the spotlight on the violinist at the end of the performance. Johnny was the winner of ANAM’s 2019 Concerto Competition that was held in Hobart with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. The music you will hear is from his Melbourne performance where he performed the piece with Peter de Jager on piano. Johnny was also the inaugural recipient of the ANAM position in the Bavarian State Opera’s Orchestra Academy in Munich, Germany. To watch the video recording of Johnny's full performance, visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1thGovmLg64&feature=youtu.be
Episode 1, 2020: Prokofiev’s Sinfonia Concertante Wednesday 27 May 2020 After a disastrous premiere in 1938, Sergei Prokofiev put away his Sinfonia Concertante. It wasn’t until 1947 that it resurfaced, when a 20-year-old cello student, Mstislav Rostropovich, discovered it from the archives and performed it at the Moscow Conservatory. After that performance, Prokofiev worked with the young virtuoso to improve the composition – the rest is history. In this episode of ANAM Radio, cellist James Morley talks to Phil Lambert (our Music Librarian) about how he first discovered Prokofiev’s Sinfonia Concertante and why he decided to perform it as part of ANAM’s 2019 Concerto Competition. James was one of three finalists to perform in the Grand Final of the 2019 Concerto Competition with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra in Hobart. The music you will hear is from his Melbourne performance where he performed the piece with Leigh Harrold on piano. James received the Audience Choice Award for this performance.

Art works made for festivals have to be pretty attention-grabbing to rise above the general clamour of sound, food, booze and big audiences. Does this mean that these art works have to be big, bright, loud and spectacular or is there room for quieter, more contemplative work at these events? We speak to Dark Mofo Creative Director Leigh Carmichael, artist Michaela Gleave, and artist, producer and SITUATE provocateur Paul Gazzola. In this episode you will hear sound from A Galaxy of Suns by Michaela Gleave, produced for Dark Mofo 2016 with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, and Fort Evil by Andrew Harper, produced for BRAINSTORM at the Tasmanian College of the Arts for Dark Mofo 2016.
