Send Email Send Email
  
Tomorrow  (Friday  24 April,  Eve  of  St  Mark,  Eve  of  Anzac  Day)  I  will 
be  playing  Jiri  Ropek's  Variations  on  the  Easter  Sequence  "Vicimae 
Paschali  Laudes"  at  St  Andrew's  Cathedral,  at  the  usual  time  of  1.10
pm.

Ropek,  like  Messiaen,  was  as  much  theologian  as  composer,  and  his 
music  searches  out  the  Easter  themes  of  Life  and  Death,  of 
Resurrection  and  Cosmic  Triumph,  with  quite  remarkable depth  and  
intensity.

A  rare  chance  to  hear  music  rarely  performed  in  Australia.

   (David  Malloy  tells  me  he once  played  this  piece  at  St  Mary's 
Cathedral,  but  I  think  that  was  about  20  years  ago,  so  I  doubt  if 
many  will  feel  that  the music  is  boringly  hackneyed  and  familiar !)

John Aitchison.

Dear Mark
 
 
The Organ is an Estey Organ which is a pump organ (you work it with our feet) . It is in good condition and about 1900. The organ is with Lawsons Auctioneers and will be sold tomorrow Friday 17th April. Can you email your members? It has a stool also.
 
 
You may ring me for details but I can only receive incoming calls due to a problem with thephone and no answering message. I am also off the computer but will check my emails daily.

Dear Mark Quamby


I have the following organ for sale. How do I circulate your members?

I have a small organ for sale. It is about 1.2 metres square and the
same height, made of wook and is worked manually by pedals. It dates from
about 1908. I dont know the make. I think it is American. It was
purchased at a church fete some years from the Anglican Cathedral in
Goulburn ago and is in storage. I wish to sell it as soon as
possible.


Is there any way you can help me with establishing a fair price?

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

Send Email Send Email
  
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.

newsletter for young organists which can be downloaded from the "Organ

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

when switching off the organ) and an article on exploring Australian
organ music, particularly for school music examinations which require

The first issue is 10 pages!

Have you ever wondered if there are or were any organs in the Northern Territory?  Western Australia OHTA councillor, Bruce Duncan has been researching this and has supplied with me with all his information, including photos, which I have just uploaded to the OHTA website.

Please click here to find out more:


Cheers,

Mark

Robert Ampt writes:

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.

I am trying to contact a singing teacher called Michael
Dale. I think he recently performed in a concert in the Blue
Mountains with Heather Moen-Boyd. Does anyone have contact
details ('phone of email)?

Many thanks in anticipation, John Aitchison.
