Introduction

The catalogue presented below began life as a response to an email enquiry from a French recorder player/teacher seeking information about Australian repertoire for his instrument. On reviewing the available suveys -- Strong (1980), Tattersall (1984), Shanahan (1985), Tattersall (1987), Baxt (1990) and Tokimitsu (1996) -- it seemed to me that there was a great deal we still don't know about the matter. I resolved to do something about it.

If to date some half-dozen surveys of music for recorder by Australian composers have been published, do we really need yet another?

A first step has been an exploratory trawl using readily available library and internet resources as well as the contents of my own library. To date I have consulted the on-line library catalogue of the Australian Music Centre (AMC), the State Libraries of South Australia and Western Australia, the Universities of Queensland, Sydney, Wollongong & Western Australia, Monash University, Australian National University, and, of course, the invaluable reference works cited below. To these I have added a few items from my own music collection, old programmes and my memory, such as it is. The list presented here is rather more comprehensive than what has come before: It includes some 500 items.

For each item in this catalogue I have adopted as a de facto standard something like the data structure of the AMC's on-line library catalogue. The numbered entries are as follows:

  1. Title. / Author. - year of composition.
  2. City: Publisher & Catalogue Number.
  3. Format (number of pages); dimensions.
  4. Instrumentation.
  5. Duration.
  6. Notes, including reviews.

In some cases I have appended a brief note.

For instruments of the recorder family the usual abbreviations for the different sizes of instrument are applied, namely:

There is a discouraging consequence of this systematic categorisation. The sad fact is that even a brief perusal of the catalogue is enough to convince the reader that for much of this repertoire (small as it is) we lack essential details, amongst them knowledge of the publisher, date, or library where a particular score can be consulted. And too often the reader has to guess the nature of the work, its length or its intended audience, and so on.

I have opted for inclusion of all material I have encountered. In revisiting this topic so soon, it might be argued that we would do well to devise suitable criteria for inclusion and exclusion. This line of thought will lead us to ask ourselves questions such as the following:

Should we include only published works, and what does "published" mean? Does it include any manuscript lodged with the Australian Music Centre? Does it include any home-brewed composition recorded with a note-processor and published from home or on the Internet?

Do we restrict the list to items which have been recorded or broadcast or publicly performed? Do we exclude arrangements of existing compositions? Do we invoke some kind of "peer review"? Do we exclude pedagogical items?

What about items which have been recorded as improvisations? Are they compositions?

Come to that, what is an Australian? After all, we claim Hughes (born overseas but living here most of his life and writing music about Australia) and Benjamin and Grainger (indisputably Australian in style, but living overseas because they didn't like it here).

This list could easily be extended.

In my view such qualms are, in large measure, misplaced in a situation where despite so many surveys three items for recorders by Alfred Hill have hitherto been missed, and two of the most prolific Australian composers for the recorder have been either ignored (Mike Leadabrand whose Songs from the Deep alone amounts to some 150 pages of music) or seriously un-represented (Glyn Marillier who has published a score of compositions and many arrangements), one suspects because they live on the Western coast of the continent. And certainly one of the most interesting, another Western Australian (Diarmuid Pigott), has been omitted, perhaps because he is something of a recluse who publishes exclusively on the Internet. Similarly, works by WA's Robert Schulz and Margaret Quayle have hitherto gone un-noticed. This neglect, which includes a bias towards the confections of Australia's 'Far East', just won't do!

Surely a bibliographer in this context could do worse than simply eschew any "point of view" whatsoever. If the net is cast sufficiently widely we are less likely to leave anything out. Those who use a bibliography are best able to decide which references they wish to keep in contention, given a particular task. If the bibliographer is too selective this will effectively deny readers any such choice. That much seems obvious enough.

Thus I have included all items which concern Australia or Australians or Australiana. Amongst them, I have listed a piece from the American Music Centre Library entitled The Woylies at Home by David Cleary (1986) on the basis that Woylies (a sort of Bandicoot) are distinctly Australian creatures, and Cleary may well be an expatriate Australian. Similarly, I have included John Tavener's Let's Begin Again, which, though from the pen of a noted British composer, was jointly commisioned by the Festival of Perth. There are Anthony Gilbert's Igórochiki, Paluma, Flame-Robin which draw on Australian bird-song for their thematic material, and his Chant of Cockeye Bob which was written for primary schools in Bendigo, Victoria. And I have included two works by Canadian composers (Neil Currie and Jana Skarecky) which were premiered in Australia by an Australian player (Ian Shanahan).

In my view, the critical thing now is to fill in the details of what we already know rather than worry unduly about what work is and isn't going to be of interest to our readers.

For my part I undertake to trawl shoals further from home by including the results of searches of the remaining State, College, Conservatorium and University Libraries whose catalogues are available to me over the Internet.

Readers (perhaps even the composers themselves) may wish to copy the following list to their hard disc, annotate it with the missing details where they know them and email it to me. All contributions will be duly acknowledged. I see this as very much a joint effort and myself as merely the compiler.

This presentation is far from the last word; indeed, it is but a new begining. Hopefully, unlike its predecessors, this approach will lead in time to a dynamic, self-correcting and authoritative document.

In this context, mention must be made of Walter van Hauwe's on-line Catalogue of Contemporary Blokflute Music available at the Stichtung Blokfluit site launched in July 1998. This ambitious project aims to compile a comprehensive information base of 20th-century recorder music with data logged in some 40 fields and will clearly become the principal repository for data in this arena. To date, although a total of some 3,650 items have been catalogued, as yet only some 85% of Australian compositions have been logged. On a world-wide scale the scope is enormous.

  6. An electroacoustic composition, featuring recorder player Ian Shanahan. All the 'voice' samples of politicians, refugees, and commentators are taken from the public domain - radio and television. The recorder was the chosen instrument of the Hitler Youth Movement. As well as being a world renowned chess problemist and a composer, Ian Shanahan is a Grandmaster of recorders. This piece utilises the full range of recorders from bass to sopranino. The recorder plays, at different times, the role of interjector and commentator - the outspoken voice of the protagonist, the fanciful swoop of a bird in a flight of freedom, and the mournful cry of the disenfranchised spirit. Quarter tones are used frequently creating fragmented speech-like utterances. They are also used chromatically to create seamless fluid runs at very high speed. Quarter tones, too, create a human voice-like quality in the slower 'wailing' section. Multiphonics - colourful discords created by unusual fingering techniques - are interwoven throughout the music - and have a particular function when used against descending inverted minor triads. Some passages are beyond the possible, involving up to four different recorders over several octaves with no time at all to change instruments. This is intentional, and I regard this music as an electronic studio piece - not able to be realised 'live' without much simplification. Part of the idea, also, is to take a very old instrument into the electronic age, where, I must say, I think it sits very comfortably.

  6. The dynamic range of the recorder, like the harpsichord and the guitar, has often been considered too soft to compete in the modern orchestra and the use of the instrument has largely been confined to performances of early music and chamber works. While usually associated with Baroque sounds and musical ideas, the revival of interest in the recorder during the early twentieth century is most notable in the English 'Pastoral' school which espoused strong Neoclassic ideals.

    In his Suite for Recorder and Strings written in 1983 while still a student, Stephen Cronin attempts to explore two aspects of twentieth century Neoclassicism. The first and third movements are obviously Neoclassic in design; the structure of the latter is fugal and its material is quite freely derived from the first movement. The central movement, a musical reference to Ralph Vaughan Williams to whom the work is in homage, uses free modal harmony and characteristic rhythmic configurations.

    Cronin's Suite was written at the suggestion of Bruce Mac Ray, a music student at the University of Queensland. It was premiered in 1984 by John Martin and the strings of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Patrick Thomas at a concert of new music at the ABC Ferry Road studios, Brisbane – John Martin (pers. comm.)

    This work has been recorded by Western Australian recorderist Tamara Herman and is now available on her CD Woodworks

    There is a real audio performance of this music here.

    This piece came about as a result of discussing the role of the nightingale in mythology with the classicist Peter Bryant, specifically the story of the "Musical Battle" between a Lutenist and a Nightingale, in which the two compete, and the poor bird, though the victor, dies from the exertions. From shame at this outcome of his display of vanity, the minstrel then smashes his instrument. So, I wrote a small "echo song" for the two, with the appropriate bird trills before, and a tour de force at the end. It served its turn, but ultimately was rather too mannered for my taste. At the time, I purchased a Compaq Concerto (pen driven computer) for the purposes of writing music, and decided that I should write a concerto (of course!). So I thought I would change the short illustration into a concerto. The Echo Song is now the second movement, the bird trills are incorporated in the first movement, and the tour de force at the end. The complexion of the entire piece is now changed (I think for the better), but I felt that the strangeness of the music should have an explanation. This piece is dedicated to Peter, in acknowledgement of many wonderful hours of companionable discussion of such topics.

    Having made the conversion, I thought I would continue the strain of "pastoral interpretation" and depict the seasons. This is (truth to tell) an inspiration from four exquisite (jewel-like) silhouettes of the seasons that came with Microsoft Publisher. I will find out if they are web-displayable and display them if so. I've not begun with spring, as that is not the way of it in Australia. I've started with the intolerable might of summer heat, and moved through the cycle from there. The scenes are retrieved from childhood memories of the Hawkesbury-Nepean, and anyone who wants to know what that means can do no better than look at the paintings of Arthur Streeton.

    The movements are: 1.Summer - a sort of da capo aria affair, with alternations between the torpor of the heat felt in the shade, and the bustling of the natural world going about the business of staying alive. 2.Autumn - inspired by the sounds of boat horns echoing across Matilda Bay one autumn, in the rain and fog. 3.Winter - This is a scherzo - two wildish bits of flurrying, surrounding a piece in the form of a tango nuevo. Winter in Perth often has spells of the warm and langorous, surrounded by manic storms, with roof torn off and trees uprooted - arriving suddenly and as quickly gone. 4.Spring - Spring in Australia is not an awakening from the slumber or death that is the common representation in myth. The plants are always green, and something is always bursting into flower. But there is a sense of getting ready before summer that can at times have a faintly desperate quality.

    The piece is for the tenor recorder (though in some sections swapping to another instrument may be necessary) - it is ideally suited for the wonderful new keyed recorders that various workshops are producing. The ripieno is violin, viola, cello, bass, clarinet, cor anglais and horn.

    I wrote the In nomine after a prolonged period of absorption in the In nomine fantasias of the c16 and c17 in England. Primarily works for viol consort, or for broken consort (a consort of mixed instruments), they were derived from the practise of using a Vespers antiphon from the Salisbury rite - the Gloria tibi Trinitas - as the ground bass for fantasias. The fact that these pieces are called In nomines is because of a setting of the Mass to this ground by John Taverner, from which a section of the Benedictus - beginning with the words "In nomine Dominie" was widely printed in anthologies, and imitated by all the leading composers of the day. There are literally hundreds of these fantasias: by Bull, Byrd, Ferrabosco, Gibbons, Holborne, Lawes, Locke, Purcell, Tye, Tallis to mention only a few. The tune itself is depicted below. For more information, I cannot do better than recommend the section on the In nomine in Neighbour's excellent book on Byrd's music (Faber 1978, vol 3 pp 26-50).

    This piece is a compliment to the Concerto Pastorale, where the solo part is dramatically separated. I wanted to write something that showed the instrument blending in (which means restraint on the part of the other performers so the balance is maintained). This lent itself naturally to the fantasia form, and so to the In nomine. The fantasia is in three parts - the first is a straightforward ground bass fantasia, with a melodic motif arising in tribute to the original Taverner piece. This new melody is then used as the ground bass for the middle section, which provides dramatic contrast. In the third section the original bass is used, but the harmonic inflexion is coloured by the second melody. The original melody is played in the closing bars of the piece.

    Once again, the forces are tenor recorder, violin, viola, cello, bass, clarinet, cor anglais and horn.

    • Fanfare. This piece of music was inspired by the flourish with which the dedicatee ended a private performance of my Concerto Pastorale. I was amazed and delighted by the strength and depth of expression which the piper could conjure through his instrument, and wanted to write a musical flourish in tribute.
    • Air. This piece is a lament, an extract from an imaginary opera. It is written to take advantage of the break in timbre between certain ranges of the instrument, in imitation of an operatic Gigli sob.
    • Rejouissance. This movement was written in relief at a respite from an illness, and descibes a kittenish feeling.
    • Moto perpetua This is a sort of raggy minuet, with a dance theme decaying both chromatically and rhythmically. It was inspired by the difficulty one often faces in running out of notes in the lower range of the recorder.

    I wrote this suite under the influence of the English c16/17 composers. The tradition of suites comprised of a fantasia and two ayres is prevalent, particularly in the writings of my favourite, William Lawes. The fantasia was a complex contrapuntal composition, often with a theme (a ground bass, or a popular tune being threaded in, or even Cries of London being worked in - Gibbons did a spectacular version of that). The ayres were settings that did no damage to the integrity of the orginal tune, but managed to work some semblance of original thought into the setting through shadings of harmony.

    The Fantasia is an exercise in form, as well as an attempt to write in contrapuntal idiom. It is in the form of a magnetic bottle, half-remembered from a science text book of youth, wherein the thing was shown containing plasma in a brief moment of time. The ends of the bottle were described as being singular, containing no size. This was reinforced by watching experiments in turbulence at the CWR at UWA where I worked as a technical clerk, and seeing the perturbation of a singular strand into a massive plume. I wanted to write a fantasia on one note (as Purcell did), but starting on the singularity of a held D, falling apart under the weight of its own forces, and then re-ravelling (if such a concept is possible) back to the original note. The first air is the Rorate Coeli from the Liber Usualis. This was first played to me over the telephone by my friend Ross Callaway, who was overjoyed at finding it in a recent acquisition from Pellegrini's Catholic Bookshop. The haunting nature of the tune kept it in my head for days - unusual phrase lengths, and the Da capo aria nature of it delighted everyone who heard it. So this was a natural choice - its Seasonal nature gives the name to the Suite.

    The second air is the Sallust aeternae, also from the Liber Usualis. This I found by going through the book until I found a tune to match the Rorate coeli in oddity and beauty.

    John Shaw Nelson (1872-1942) was one of Australia's finest lyric poets, and his poem 'Native Companions Dancing' attracted me enough that I wanted to set it to music. He describes the courtship dance of the Native Companion or Brolga: On the blue plains in wintry days, these stately birds move in the dance ... The wind, their unseen Piper, plays, they strut, salute, retreat, advance ..."

    John Tavener is, of course, a British composer. However, this work was jointly commissioned by the Festival of Perth, for performance in a Celebration of the composer's music presented in 1997. This warrants its inclusion here. Its Australian premiere was at the University of Western Australia's Winthrop Hall on 23 February 1997. The conductor was Lionel Friend. The recorder players were Tamara Herman, Nicholas Lander, Glyn Marillier & Jay Harrison. This performance was broadcast by the ABC on 25 May 1997. Co-commisioners of this work were the Norfolk and Norwich Festival, Greenwich Festival, and Festival d'Art Sacré (Paris).

    6. Our first duo concert (1995) included a bracket from Ade Monsbourgh's famous Recorder in Ragtime album (recorded in the 1950s) as well as Brazilian music by Gismonti and Pascoal. Ade is a light and playful response to these influences. Strangely, I first composed the tune and 'bass-line' accompaniment for Ade on a ten-course renaissance lute! Here the little Brazilian 4-string cavaquinho accompanies the soprano recorder. Recorded on CD Agua e Vinho Orpheus Music OM201 (1998).

Originally written for guitar solo, the 'low' voice flute (tenor recorder in d') lyrically enhances the tune in this version. Recorded on CD Agua e Vinho Orpheus Music OM201 (1998).

    6. Australian recorder player Zana Clarke has helped to transform the 'Ganassi' treble recorder in g' from the beautiful, but rather restricted realm of period renaissance ricercars and divisions to become a vital living and breathing contemporary musical instrument. In Zana, the 'Ganassi' recorder touches a little Brazilian sunlight – with the help of an egg-shaker! Recorded on CD Agua e Vinho Orpheus Music OM201 (1998).

    Acknowledgements

    I am indebted to Malcolm Tattersall who has himself trod this path before. Malcolm has spoon-fed me with references and information relevant to this project.

    I am grateful to John Martin for some pointed and useful critical comments on a number of issues relating to bibliographic work of this kind, not the least of which has been his thought-provoking questions concerning criteria for inclusion.

    I thank Diarmuid Pigott for his helpful suggestions on my Introduction and on layout.

    Composers Geoffrey Allen, Robin Bradley, Zana Clarke, Jeanette Hajncl, Robert Schulz, Malcolm Tattersall, Ben Thorn, and Rodney Waterman have accepted my invitation to update the entries under their names, for which I am very grateful. And they have added details of works by their peers, also.

    Last, but by no means least, I am indepted to Michel Quagliozzi, a veritable child of the avant-garde, whose insistent demand for information about music for recorders by Australian composers stimulated me to compile this catalogue. Michel is not an Australian: he hails from France. But then the French, like the intrepid early Portuguese, Dutch and English vistors to these shores were always anxious to discover Australia for themselves. Indeed, it is somewhat ironic that at a time when the debate about an Australian Republic is raging that the discovery of two 18th-century six-franc coins in a bottle at Shark Bay, Western Australia, left there by St Allouran in 1772 as noted in his journal, would seem to confirm that the Western part of our continent was first formally claimed by the French.
