LISTENING GUIDELISTENING GUIDE

Nigel Westlake (Born 1958) Cudmirrah Fanfare

Nigel Westlake’s Cudmirrah Fanfare begins with a trumpet melody accompanied by repeated, Morse code-like rhythms in the strings and percussion, punctuated by timpani. The trumpet melody is soon reinforced by full, resonant brass, and adorned by the shimmering sound of the crotales (small tuned cymbals). The horns introduce a new melody characterised by vaulting leaps, and joined by trombones before the opening melody returns, now in two parts, accompanied by simple three-beat loops in the winds and percussion, crossing against the five beats of the time signature. To close the work, the trumpets sound out a final flourish echoed by the horns, joining the two parts of the work together.

Gordon Hamilton (Born 1982) 482 Variations on a Very Short Theme

Just three notes from a Beatles recording provided the inspiration for Gordon Hamilton’s 482 Variations on a Very Short Theme. The three-note theme on the lyrics “in a yellow” is sped up, slowed down, moved up and down throughout endless combinations of instruments, turned backwards and upside down, extended out into longer melodies, and, in the middle episode, used as the basis for an achingly beautiful chorale featuring solo strings and harp. Strings play many extended techniques, including “snap” pizzicato, playing with the wood of the bow, and playing

harmonic overtones in glissandi (slides). A surprise Mexican dance emerges in the trumpet and percussion in tribute to the conductor before the music moves towards a fanfare ending constructed from segments of the original tune.

Joseph Twist (Born 1982) Peace at the Last - World Premiere

Peace at the Last is a setting of words from John Henry Newman's 19th century sermon "Wisdom and Innocence", a passionate plea for respite from the pressures of daily life and the ultimate hope of peace. "May He support us all the day long, till the shades lengthen and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in His mercy may He give us a safe lodging, and a holy rest and peace at the last." Orchestra and choir join forces to create a kaleidoscope of musical ideas on this short musical journey, combining and contrasting rhythmic music, choral chanting, melismas, melodic lyricism and plaintive, choral sonority. The juxtaposition of musical ideas throughout reflects both the passion and tranquility of John Henry Newman's comforting words which are just as appropriate and significant today as ever. Originally written in 2008, Twist's Peace at the Last has been revised for tonight's world premiere performance.

A Note from the Composer I am truly sorry I am unable to be at tonight’s world premiere. Originally from Queensland and now based in Los Angeles, unfortunately my schedule does not permit a visit back home for this wonderful event. I cannot say ‘thank you’ enough for this opportunity, to the Queensland Symphony Orchestra and Alondra de la Parra; Brisbane Chorale and Emily Cox who inspired so much in this work from my days singing in her wonderful choirs; and my mentor Philip Bracanin who so greatly influenced and nurtured my love of composing, including this work. Thank you all so much.

- Joseph Twist

Peter Sculthorpe (1929-2014) Earth Cry

Peter Sculthorpe set out to compose a joyous work about Australia, but was burdened by concerns about the environment and climate change. These concerns are reflected in Earth Cry in the slow, harrowing music that frames fast, rhythmic “ritualistic” music. In these slow sections, instruments often play in unison, for example lower brass double lower strings, creating an expansive atmosphere and evoking the vast landscape of Australia. Featuring William Barton on the didgeridu, it is an impassioned plea from the composer to attune to the land around us as Indigenous Australians have done for many thousands of years.

Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) Five Mystical Songs V. Antiphon

Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Five Mystical Songs is a setting of poems by the seventeenth-century poet and priest George Herbert. The final movement, “Antiphon”, is a triumphant hymn with a strong rhythmic drive that is fostered by the hemiola, a musical figure that replaces two groups of three beats with three groups of two beats.

Michael Hurst (Born 1925) Swagman's Promenade, Four Traditional Australian Tunes Waltzing Matilda - Finale

Waltzing Matilda is the final work in Swagman’s Promenade, a medley of traditional Australian tunes composed by Michael Hurst for the first series of the Proms concerts in Sydney in the 1960s. The main tune, played by violins and winds, becomes a grand anthem accompanied by brass harmonisation, the pace gathering with a rushing violin ascent into the refrain, reinforced by the snare drum, until the trumpets convert “you’ll come a-waltz…” into a fanfare to close.

Joby Talbot (Born 1971) Hovercraft

Based on Joby Talbot’s memories of watching hovercrafts arrive at Pegwell Bay from France in the 1970s, the music of Hovercraft elicits what the composer describes as “terrifying

machines pounding across the ocean then remorselessly surging up the beach spouting great fountains of surf and with the noise of a thousand Lancaster bombers”. Opening upper strings with oboes, harp and vibraphone are interjected by low strings, winds and brass rising from the depths with lines that lengthen as they repeat.

The rhythms gradually become denser until a bold trumpet melody glistens above the full-textured orchestra, ushering in series of interlocking patterns held together by repeating marimba rhythms. The pulse becomes complicated after the low instruments drop out. The violins introduce a texture of overlapping rising patterns, before changing to a lyrical descending melody with the flutes until the repeating rising figures take precedence again. A loud tam tam hit introduces a huge rising pattern that accelerates while the upper strings, flute, and harp hammer out high, repeated notes. The opening idea returns, amplified, to bring the work to a boisterous close.

Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) Three Dance Episodes from On The Town The Great Lover Lonely Town (Pas de deux) Times Square: 1944 Leonard Bernstein’s Three Dance Episodes depicts the adventures of three sailors who spend 24 hours in New York. In The Great Lover, one sailor dreams about wooing a woman. The

George Gershwin (1898-1937) Rhapsody in Blue

Also set in the streets of New York is George Gershwin’s jazzy masterpiece, Rhapsody in Blue, beginning with the familiar soaring clarinet solo which leads into the opening descending, bluesy theme. Conceived on one of the composer’s train journeys, the work was inspired by the “steely rhythms” of a train. The piano enters with a rhapsodic solo introduced by a muted trumpet. The tempo increases to reflect the busy city, moving through Latin rhythms, until converting into a lush, romantic love theme, though never leaving the bluesy melodic language adopted throughout the work.

Henry Wood (1869-1944) Fantasy on British Sea Songs (arr. Lawson)

Fantasy on British Sea Songs was previously arranged for the 1905 Last Night of the Proms by Sir Henry Wood to mark the centenary of the Battle of the Trafalgar. The tuba, followed by the trombones, features in the first melody, “The Saucy Arethusa”. “Tom Bowling” features muted strings and a lyrical cello solo, finishing with flute and oboe, before the solo violin leads the ensemble into “Jack's The Lad”, the pace mounting to frantic degree. The oboe and harp lead “Home, Sweet Home”. “See, the Conqu'ring Hero Comes” features the horns, then the flutes before the full ensemble joins in a triumphant anthem.

Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) Make Our Garden Grow from Candide

Make Our Garden Grow is the closing number of Leonard Bernstein’s operetta Candide, based on a novella by Voltaire. Beginning gently in the woodwinds with harp, the strings swell under the slowly building, extended melody sung by the protagonist Candide and then his beloved Cunégonde, who join in a duet as they sing about finding redemption in the simple life. The texture builds as the whole orchestra enters with the choir, then the orchestra drops to feature the soaring solo chorus, before rejoining to form a triumphant, full ensemble.

Edward Elgar (1857-1934) Pomp and Circumstance: No.1, D major (Land of Hope and Glory)

Edward Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance is regarded by many as an alternative English national anthem, but is also played at many American college graduations.

It features military marches, brass fanfares, and its melodic “Land of Hope and Glory” theme, first heard in the first violins, horns, and clarinets, which are then joined by the full orchestra.

Sir Hubert Parry Jerusalem

Another contender for an alternative English national anthem is Hubert Parry’s setting of a poem by William Blake, Jerusalem. The majestic melody of this patriotic work is performed in a comparatively straightforward manner the first time. When repeated, it is sung in full voice accompanied by bursts of energy in rushing string countermelodies, brass fanfares, and resounding timpani.

Thomas Arne (1710-1778) Rule Britannia

Equally patriotic is Thomas Arne’s Rule Britannia. This rousing melody is a Proms favourite, played on the strings with answering phrases featuring the trumpet and oboes, and timpani interjections, all coming together in a rising passage to usher in the choir.

Celia Fitz-Walter © 2018

music’s violent opening soon gives way to a playful violin melody with brass interjections, the trombone prominent. Snappy riffs lurch from instrument to instrument like a bumpy subway car. Lonely Town is bluesy, lyrical, and melancholy, representing a lonesome night in the city. Finally, Times Square presents an exciting scene in the lively New York district. A boisterous high clarinet sets the pace, the trombones complete the themes hinted at in the first movement, and then the saxophone sets off the slower, jazzy dance. The nervous, syncopated energy of “New York, New York”, the hit song from the musical, returns for a frantic ending.

William Barton Didjeridu For two decades, William Barton has forged a peerless profile as a performer and composer in the classical musical world, from the Philharmonic Orchestras of London and Berlin to historic events at Anzac Cove, the Beijing Olympics, to his recent contribution to the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony. With his prodigious musicality and the quiet conviction of his Kalkadunga heritage, he has vastly expanded the horizons of the didgeridoo — and the culture and landscape that it represents.

In 1998 and at 17 years-of-age, William Barton realised a lifelong dream when he was invited to perform with Queensland Symphony Orchestra; a milestone which sees its 20th anniversary in 2018.

BIOGRAPHIESBIOGRAPHIES

But the full, rapturous embrace of the classical music world came in 2004, when Tasmanian composer Peter Sculthorpe unveiled his Requiem with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and guest soloist, William Barton.

By the mid-2010s, despite a bare minimum of formal musical education, William Barton had won an ARIA Award for his classical album Kalkadungu, composed a world premiere work for members of the Berlin Philharmonic at Sydney Opera House, and unveiled his first string quartet, Birdsong at Dusk, with the Kurilpa String Quartet and his mother Delmae Barton on vocals.

Today he holds honorary doctorate degrees from the Universities of Griffith and Sydney, an adjunct professorship of music from the Queensland University of Technology and has released five albums on the ABC Classics label. His most recent, Kalkadungu: music for Didjeridu and Orchestra, features predominantly his own compositions.

Brisbane Chorale

Music Director Emily CoxAccompanist Justine FavellPatrons Roy Wales and Alan Mackay-Sim Brisbane Chorale, a symphonic choir of over 100 voices, has been under the leadership of Emily Cox since 2003. It is an independent performing organisation,

enjoying a close relationship with the Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University, as it has since its formation in 1983 by Dr Roy Wales, then Director of the Conservatorium. The Chorale recently launched a book documenting its history written by Professor Peter Roennfeldt, a publication made possible by a Brisbane City Council History Grant.

The Chorale has a reputation for outstanding choral performance and collaborates frequently with major orchestras such as Queensland Symphony Orchestra, Camerata, Brisbane Philharmonic Orchestra and Brisbane Symphony Orchestra, as well as choirs and other performance organisations. Its extensive repertoire spans music from the baroque to the present day and includes Australian and world premieres, including Kats-Chernin’s Symphonia Eluvium in 2011, a reflection on the Queensland floods.

For over two decades the Chorale has performed in QPAC’s Spirit of Christmas concerts. It has participated regularly in the 4MBS Festival of Classics, with recent memorable performances of Verdi’s Requiem, Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius, Rachmaninov’s The Bells, and Walton’s Belshazzar’s Feast. Celebrating the 4MBS Festival’s 25th anniversary in June this year, Brisbane Chorale, The Queensland Choir and Orchestra Corda Spiritus presented a sell-out ‘A Choral Spectacular’ in the Brisbane City Hall.
