Offline

Since the latest Sydney Organ Journal was published, the cathedral authorities have decided to close the building for the two weeks of the October school holidays to undertake the annual maintenance program which was postponed in the July holidays due to the visit of the Pope. Thus the two recitals which were to be held on October 3 and 10 have had to be cancelled. The recitals will resume on October 17 with Elmo Cosentini from Vienna. For full details, please check the website http://www.sydneyorgan.com/SAC2008.html

Subject:: Query on music: "Moon Moths"

davidpowell_...

Offline

This may be off-topic for this group - I'm happy to have referrals!

First, does anyone have "Moon Moths"? - I presume it's the set of
pieces  by Albert Kussner, circa 1897.  I bought it on eBay weeks ago
but it hasn't turned up.

Second, I understand it's usually a piano piece.  Do you happen to
know if it was ever transcribed for organ?*

The reason for these queries is that, years back, an old gentleman
told me that this piece was played at an opening recital/dedication
for an organ that I'm helping to demonstrate this weekend.

*Even if the answer's no - this can be useful.  It would illustrate
the flexibility and ethos of the times with such things.

Certainly not in the same league as other things happening this week, but if you're in Burwood this Sunday for the Spring Festival:

some light festive music for 20 minutes or so from 11:30 am on the organ at

Burwood Uniting Church, 134a Burwood Rd (the sandstone church a couple of blocks North (right turn) out of Burwood Station)

Christopher Tambling etc.

Note: Parking at Westfield but not in Burwood Road or the church grounds that day.

Outside community engagement is happening at other times during the day.

Sydney" (Sydney Chapter of the AGO) has begun a special online
newsletter for young organists which can be downloaded from the "Organ
Music Society of Sydney" website. Four issues are planned per year at

The first issue is available now and contains an article by Jaques van

The decision some months ago to demolish the Wollongong Town Hall and relocate the Ron Sharp organ caused great public outcry. A fighting committee under the umbrella of the local branch of the National Trust has been successful in helping to overturn this decision. Help also came from the Wollongong City Council which made the original demolition decision; because of some of its questionable activities it has been sacked and replaced by Commissioners who were persuaded to overturn the demomiltion order. The National Trust has now also listed the building.

A concert (program attached) to demonstrate the level of support for the retention of the hall and organ has been organized for Sunday 29th June at 3.00pm. Entrance is free, which was the only way the concert was permitted to take place. Ron and Margaret Sharp will be present.

When the concert was first planned, it was as a protest. It has now turned into a celebration. All the same, a strong turnout will deliver a strong message. The saving of the very beautiful and exciting Ron Sharp organ in the favourable acoustic has been a triumph for both the organ world and the wider music establishment.

Just a reminder that this Friday, being ANZAC Day, St Andrew's Cathedral WILL be having an organ recital. Normally on Public Holidays we don't have recitals but this year, organist Brendon Lukin (who is a member of the RAAF Band) will be marching and playing tuba in the march and has offered to play a recital along with one of the trumpeters from the RAAF Band.

Because the march is expected to be still in progress in front of the cathedral during the normal recital time, the recital this week will be later at 2pm.

Unfortunately as I will be out of Sydney for a couple of days, I will not be present to welcome Brendon and Peter but I hope that many of you will be able to attend.

The program is as follows:

April 25 - ANZAC DAY - 2.00pm Brendon Lukin (LAC) - organ SGT Peter McCracken - trumpet (courtesy RAAF Band)

Dear Mark

Just on the off chance that any of your members should be visiting the U.K. I wonder if it is possible to circulate the upcoming Battle of the Organs event at Leeds Parish Church. If last year's battle is anything to go on it will be a truly memorable occasion. I have attached a press release together with a poster of the event. Would you pass this on - many thanks.

Yours hopefully,

David Hawkin,

Leeds Parish Church Choral Foundation Publicity.

Dear Friends,

The Victorian Society of Organists brings the unhappy news of the sudden and sad death on 3 April of our President,
Ian Harrison.     He died peacefully, but was on his own at the time.    His wife discovered the situation when she
returned home.

.    The date and time of Ian's funeral is as yet unknown but is expected to be Thursday or Friday of
next week.

Ian was an extraordinary gifted musician, composer, and music educationalist with many friends and associates who will
greatly miss him.     Of the many music connections Ian has had,   he was currently a lecturer at Melba Conservatorium
and Mel Waters, the Director of the Conservatorium, has organized
                      In Memoriam - Ian Harrison
with the performance of Bach and Handel music at Trinity Collect Chapel, University of Melbourn, on Thursday
17 April at 1-10 p.m.

Jane Edwards, one of this country's leading exponents of baroque music who has toured nationally with the
Australian Chamber and Brandenburg Orchestras, will perform with Mel Waters.   The centrepiece of their
programme is Bach's sublime solo cantata Mein Herze Schwimmt im Blut, BWV 199, with additional continuo
from Johathan Bradley.

Mel has asked that we spread the news of this recital to colleagues and friends, as we specially remember Ian's contribution
to our music world.

Please telephone me (03 9893 3095) or email if you would like further information.

Dear Brian,
As far as I’m aware, a list such as this does not exist, but many competent organists from around Australia know at least one or two works of Franck. For Sydney organists, check out the organ recitals diary on http://www.sydneyorgan.com – someone’s bound to include some Franck sooner or later.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hello All,

I am a new member, having recently moved to Australia from the States.

Does anyone know if there is a resource for organ performers in
Australia? I'd like to learn who the best players are. I am
particularly interested in finding someone who specializes in the work
of Cesar Franck.

Regards,

Brian
