Bach began when he encountered the Bach interpretations of Louis Pabst in Australia at the age of ten and then subsequently studied the Well-Tempered Clavier and other compositions by Bach with him. Yet it was after a few weeks of studying Bach–Busoni transcriptions with Ferruccio Busoni in Berlin during the summer of 1903 that the compositions of Bach took on greater aesthetic and poietic significance for him. Even despite the fact that the relationship eventually ‘soured’, discussions with Busoni in Berlin (and subsequently in London and the United States) reinforced some of Grainger’s burgeoning countercultural aesthetic ideas, especially ones deriving from the music of Bach: scepticism about the concept of ‘originality’, an interest in flexible instrumentation, and an idealization of polyphony. Although several scholars have discussed the Busoni–Grainger relationship, its importance for Grainger’s artistic ideals has yet to be explored in any degree of detail. Through analyses of scores, manuscripts, essays, concert programmes, recordings, and letters, including unpublished documents from the Grainger Museum at The University of Melbourne, this article presents the first detailed exploration of the ways Grainger’s aesthetics, poietics, and interpretations were influenced by Busoni’s vision of Bach. In so doing, the article lends greater insight into the development of Grainger’s unique compositional style, and contributes to current discourse about the role and value of adaptations in the early twentieth century. In particular, it reveals that while participating in an early-twentieth-century fascination with the music of Bach, the ideas Busoni transmitted to Grainger held even wider ranging significance. They represent a move away from the modernist notion of progress into a proto-postmodernist mindset in which appropriation, reuse, adaptation, and reshaping hold as much value as the original and new.","PeriodicalId":41713,"journal":{"name":"Musicology Australia","volume":"39 1","pages":"29 - 45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08145857.2017.1332976","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43246402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

‘The Above Mentioned Aliens’: Rudolf Mersy’s German Band in New Zealand, 1913–1919 “上面提到的外星人”：鲁道夫·默西在新西兰的德国乐队，1913年-1919年

Strikingly, twelve of these so-called ‘enemy aliens’ comprised a German band led by Rudolf Mersy (1867–1949), a composer renowned in his homeland as the ‘Aschbacher Mozart’. Drawing upon previously restricted files held at Archives New Zealand (Wellington), this article uncovers the origins of these musicians, their activity in New Zealand prior to the advent of war, and the circumstances surrounding their internment. Somewhat surprisingly, given the cramped (and at times brutal) conditions on Somes Island, Mersy and his fellow bandsmen continued to be active as musicians throughout their captivity. The extant documents, which include official reports and confiscated letters written by the Prisoners of War (POWs) to family members, also reveal poignant details concerning their daily lives. Yet despite their earlier successes as touring musicians, in the immediate aftermath of the war lingering anti-German sentiment and the advent of recorded sound combined to ensure the disappearance of the once perennially popular German Band from the global musical scene.","PeriodicalId":41713,"journal":{"name":"Musicology Australia","volume":"39 1","pages":"1 - 14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08145857.2017.1332971","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45268647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each shines a radiant light on the rich and diverse contribution to music by women, showing how they are changing the fields of composition, music analysis and musicology. Two of the books, Reconceiving Structure in Contemporary Music by Judy Lochhead and Analytical Essays on Music by Women Composers edited by Laurel Parsons and Brenda Ravenscroft, engage close readings of music, locating themselves in the field of music theory/music analysis. Both deal with twentieth-century and twenty-first-century female composers in the western classical tradition. The third book, Gender, Age and Musical Creativity edited by Catherine Haworth and Lisa Colton, covers a range of historical periods, genres and musical styles. This book overlaps the body of work in critical musicology as well as more broadly reaching out to gender, queer and cultural studies. It makes a unique contribution by extending the categories routinely used to study music—gender, ethnicity, class and sexuality—to include the rarely addressed category of age. It questions the","PeriodicalId":41713,"journal":{"name":"Musicology Australia","volume":"38 1","pages":"182 - 193"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08145857.2016.1239240","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59640339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
