Introducing

AUSTRALIAN COMPOSERS ONLINE& other University Library accessible resources for Australian compositions

Australian Composers Online is a new TIES Grant funded teaching resource initiative of theUniversity Library, making available to all students and staff through the Library Online Catalogue http://opac.library.usyd.edu.au/ a database of more than 200 e-scores of musical works by leading Australian composers, contemporary and historical, in downloadable PDF format. This resource will encourage the study and performance of Australian music within the University, and complement 4 online services already accessible through the Library Catalogue, Australian Music Presented, Classical Scores Library, Naxos Music Library and Music Australia, plus those to be found externally via the new Australian Music Centre website.

20 Contemporary Australian ComposersFor Australian Composers Online, we

asked 20 Contemporary Australian Composers not currently represented exclusively by commercial music publishers, to license us to publish electronically, internally within the University for a period of 2 years (2009-2010), a selection of their scores, in a variety of “modern classical” genres, orchestral, vocal, chamber and instrumental. Included are works by University staff composers, Michael Smetanin (Chair of Composition), Trevor Pearce, Mary Finsterer, Damien Ricketson, and

Paul Stanhope, and by several notable staff and student alumni of the Conservatorium and the University Music Department.

Nigel Butterley - Senior Composer LaureateLeading this contemporary cohort is our Senior

Composer Laureate, Nigel Butterley, who has allowed us to include scores of 28 works, a massive conspectus of his long and distinguished career, including some dozen now out-of-print works originally published byJ. Albert & Son in the 1960s and 1970s.

Historical Australian Composers ArchiveIn addition, our inaugural Historical Australian

Composers Archive centres on out-of-copyright printed editions and manuscripts by two Sydney-born composers of the early 20th century, Roy Agnew and Frederick Septimus Kelly. Made available with the kind permission of his executors, is a selection of 15 works from the Conservatorium Library’s archive of manuscript scores by Raymond Hanson who taught composition at The Con in the middle of last century (Nigel Butterley among his students). We also includedone composition by Hanson’s teacher at The Con, Alex Burnard, composed for the University of Sydney’scarillon and first published by the University in the early 1930s. From the same University imprint comes another carillon composition, specially written for the Sydney instrument by the English composer and conductor Hamilton Harty, then on tour for the ABC. Also from a recent publication of the University’s “Archive of Australian Judaica” comes a selection of works by Boaz Bischofswerder, a Berlin synagogue cantor, who with his composer son Felix Werder was transported to Australia and interned at Tatura during the Second World War.

Why are some composers not represented?Copyright restrictions prevented the inclusion

among Australian Composers Online of several composers who are currently under exclusive license to commercial music publishers. For that reason

the resource does do not include some current and former University staff members, notably Anne Boyd, Matthew Hindson and Peter Sculthorpe, as well as such major figures as Carl Vine and Brett Dean. But works by all of these and many others do appear in the4 Complementary Online Resources listed below, as do works by many deceased Australian composers also still in copyright, including several with close University and Conservatorium connections: David Ahern, Edgar Bainton, John Antill, Tristram Cary, Clive Douglas, Lindley Evans, Fritz Hart, Peggy Glanville-Hicks, Frank Hutchens, Eugene Goossens, Marjorie Hesse, Alfred Hill, Mirrie Hill, Dulcie Holland, Robert Hughes, Miriam Hyde, Horace Keats, George Marshall-Hall, James Penberthy, Esther Rofe, and Margaret Sutherland.

Australian Composers Onlineis therefore complemented by 4 other key online music archives already accessible through the Library electronic catalogue http://opac.library.usyd.edu.au/ . In the catalogue menu, simply select databases and electronic resources, under databases by subject select Music, and you will find the databases below listed in alphabetical order.

Australian Composers OnlineHISTORICAL ARCHIVE

Roy AGNEW (1891-1944)

A pupil of Alfred Hill at the Conservatorium, Roy Agnew came to public notice after Benno Moiseiwitsch performed two of his piano pieces, Deirdre's Lamentand Dance of the Wild Men at the Sydney Town Hall in 1920. In London in the mid 1920s and again in the early 1930s, Agnew studied with Cyril Scott. In 1938, Agnew presented a weekly ABC radio’s “Modern and Contemporary Composers” session, featuring Webern, Berg, Busoni, Szymanowski, Debussy and Stravinsky. Agnew was appointed to the staff of Sydney Conservatorium at the beginning of 1944, but died in November of that year.

Roy Agnew’s The Breaking of the Drought, for contralto and orchestra, was part of the program at an all-Australian concert presented in 1938 by the Sydney Conservatorium Orchestra, under its director, Edgar Bainton. You can listen to a 1993 ABC recording of the work (Elizabeth Campbell, mezzo-soprano; Adelaide Symphony Orchestra; Roland Peelman, conductor) online at ABC Classic FM’s Australian Music Presented, either through the Library Catalogue, or direct: http://www.abc.net.au/classic/australianmusic/stories/s2346651.htm

Roy Agnew recorded a comprehensive selection of his own piano music for the ABC in 1943, including many of the works in the Australian Composers Online archive. These recordings have now been streamed from the National Film and Sound Archive Collection and may also be listened to online through the National Library of Australia’s Music Australia site; as a sample, listen to Agnew’s Sonata Ballade at http://malcolm.screensound.gov.au/olcmedia/audio/00039612.mp3

Frederick Septimus KELLY (1881-1916)

Kelly was born in Sydney and began his education at Sydney Grammar School before being sent to England to Eton in 1893 at the age of twelve. He later studied at Oxford under Donald Tovey. He was a member of the British rowing eight that won a gold medal at the 1908 London Olympic Games. In January 1911 he embarked on the Orontes on his one and only return visit to

Page | 4

Sydney, where he presented three solo recitals and two chamber concerts. One of the works performed was his Serenade for flute, horn, harp and strings, which he composed on the ship on the way to Australia. It was written for Melba’s close friend and flautist, John Lemmoné, who was returning to Sydney on the same ship, and who gave the first performance on 21 July 1911. Kelly’s original manuscript piano score of the work is in the Conservatorium Library’s Rare Music Collection, and has been digitised along with most of his published output. Kelly enlisted in the British forces in the First World War and was killed in action in France on the Somme in November 1916. One of his last works, also in Australian Composers Online, was his 1915 Elegy for Strings written as a memorial for his friend the poet Rupert Brooke.

Raymond HANSON (1913-1976)

Hanson studied at the Conservatorium with Alex Burnard between 1945 and 1947, as recipient of a Fellowship in Composition. He joined the staff in 1948, and taught here until 1974. His students included composers Nigel Butterley, Richard Meale, Barry Conyngham, and Don Burrows. His complete manuscript archive of compositions is held in the Conservatorium Library’s Rare Music collection, and this digitised selection of 15 of his most important works has been made available through the kind permission of the Hanson family and his executors.
