The 17^th Annual Flute Ensemble Competition, 2010

 

A “Festival of Exciting Flute Ensemble Performances”, traditionally referred to as the “17^th Victorian Flute Guild Flute Ensemble Competition”, occurred from 8.30am on Sunday the 23^rd May, 2010 at Fintona Girls School in Balwyn, and finished close to 8.00pm. Not quite 12 hours of non-stop ensembling and over 60 groups performing.

The standard of flute ensemble playing is constantly improving and becoming more exciting each year; the groups who return to compete against each other and the welcome of newly-formed ensembles create a great atmosphere. We acknowledge the dedication of all the students, their flute teachers and conductors who rehearse and rehearse to deliver such fine performances on this day.

 

There are 4 categories of ensemble types in each age group / section including – Duets, Duets + One Other Instrument, Small Ensembles of 3 to 5 Players, and Large Ensembles of greater than 6 Players. Every section attracted quite a number of entries and as always the Large Ensembles sections were highly competitive, all being accomplished ensembles.

 

The adjudicators this year included Gabrielle Hill and Kerry Winter for the 13 years and Under Sections, Pip Robinson and Carolyn Ondaatje for the 16 Years and Under sections, Mary Sheargold and Hedy Martin for the 19 Years and Under Sections, and Alan Hardy and Yolette Levy for the Novice and Open Sections.

Many factors influenced the adjudicators in coming to their decisions including: quality of tone, rhythmic sense and rhythmic pulse, a good range of dynamic variation, interpretation of articulation, good intonation within the group, blending of tones, historical and contemporary stylistic factors, and of course the ever present “X - factor”.

 

There was a great line-up of pieces ranging from duets, trios, quartets, quintets up to larger ensembles from traditional composers to the more contemporary works demanding alternative techniques, original flute ensemble works as well as arrangements of other pieces. Many included piccolos, alto or bass flutes or just a great big group of C flutes.

Special mention must be made to our final item of the competition every year – (led by Carolyn Grace) the biggest of flute group on the day, about 70 of her flute students, members of the Victorian Flute Ensemble and other flute students, to perform as Planet Flutes. What a great sound they created!

 

The winning groups in the competition this year were:

 

A -   13 Years & Under - Duet:                   Kate Cosman & Tully Roberts

B -   13 Years & Under - Duet + One:         Freya Rich & Jackie Hu (Blackburn HS)

I have compiled a list from the competition to give some ideas for repertoire for next year or for any other performances they may wish to do.

As with all successful events there is a great team of capable, enthusiastic and reliable helpers for the day who support this event year-in and year-out. I convey my personal thanks and it is a great pleasure to work with - Evonne Neal, Danielle Brede, Annette Sloan, Carol Galea, Todd Callendar and Rosemary Kenna – who together with the other members of the Victorian Flute Guild Committee, helped out and were readily able to respond to all situations capably and with a smile. J Thank you!

 

Credit of course goes to all those lovers of the flute on our planet that make this event possible, the directors, conductors and performers in all the groups for the overwhelming effort they put into their performances in the support of flute playing in Victoria.

And many, many thanks to all the parents, support teams, and all the members of the audience, who willingly bring their flautists to this occasion and encourage them in the pursuit of their flute studies. 

 

Looking forward to seeing everyone again at “The 18^th Annual Flute Ensemble Competition” next year, 2011, and hope to see many new faces too! We will confirm the dates with you at the end of this year.

Our much loved and respected President Nariida Coleman passed away on June 23 after a fight with cancer.

 

Nariida started her flute studies in Bendigo with Colin Bubb then continued as a student of the Founder of the Victorian Flute Guild, the late Leslie Barklamb, who became her mentor.  She was the founding Honorary Secretary of the Guild and has been a member of the Committee a number of times - she was part of the Committee of the first Australian Flute Convention hosted by the VFG.  She recently re-joined the Committee and has been our inspirational and hard-working President for the last 2 years.

 

She had extensive experience as a teacher both privately and in a number of schools, her last full-time position was at Genazzano FCJ College as Director of Woodwind for a number of years.  Nariida had a passion for ensemble work: she conducted the Victorian Flute Guild Ensemble for many years and her school groups always performed with enthusiasm at concerts and at the Ensemble Competition. She took ensembles on trips throughout Australia as well as a trip to America and the UK with the Billanook College and PLC flute ensembles which gave the participants a wonderful opportunity to perform in concerts on these excursions.

 

Nariida was an AMEB examiner for many years and enjoyed the interaction with students at all levels – her ability to put students at ease enabled them to perform to the best of their ability. Her knowledge of the flute repertoire, her rapport with her students and understanding of their needs, hopes and problems was enormous enabling them to aspire to continue with their flute studies.

 

She had retired from full-time teaching and had diversified her talents to become a Marriage and Funeral Celebrant which she greatly enjoyed and always conducted the ceremonies with careful planning of the requests of the various people involved.  She worked as a volunteer at the Boroondara Volunteer Centre where she took on the work of assisting clients to find volunteer work to suit their talents.  She also was a telephone counsellor for Life Line which she enjoyed but at times found challenging.

 

When Nariida took on any responsibility she approached the situation with her full attention, efficiency and flair and was always respected by her many students and colleagues and known for her elegance, cheerfulness and readiness to help anyone in need.

 

The Flute Guild and wider community have lost a truly remarkable lady.

Victorian Flute Guild is currently seeking leaders and volunteers (of any age) to come and support the Guild into the 21st century. With a team of dedicated volunteers, passionate about the flute and the flute community, we inspire you (and Your friends) to become involved with your State's Flute Guild and share in the excitement of furthering the flute and flute playing (on any level- beginners to professionals).

Overview of Events

The Victorian Flute Guild is gearing itself up for an exciting year of events. With our VCE Repertoire Reading Day around the corner, this event is sure to excite teachers and students alike into preparing for these most challenging (yet fun) exams. We have our VFG Flute Ensemble and Leslie Barklamb Scholarship competitions this year as well. The Guild has been providing these special events to the Melbourne community for over 30 years. Looking ahead, 2011 looks like a year full of special overseas guests and some concerts with a twist, stay posted.

Behind the Scenes

The Guild is lead by a vibrant team of board members, some new to Melbourne and others pure natives of the Melbournian musical life style. Our Guild is passionate about the flute, flautist and flute music, and will do their best to represent the State of Victorian flute playing throughout Australia.

If you have not subscribed for your copy of our journal the "Flautist," do so NOW! Our tireless editor Margaret Rogers does a splendid job of creating a fantastic resource for flautist of all ages and abilities. With short bios on composers and flautist, there is a new piece of music each copy and a calendar with many events featuring the flute throughout Victoria.

Our coordinator of the annual Flute Ensemble Competition, Carolyn Grace, has been taking on the complexities of this task for many years now. Her energy, drive and committment to the flute, flautist (of all ages and abilities), and flute music are INCREDIBILE. This lady is one of the true powers in the Guild, and is an extremely talented arranger of flute ensemble music. Come down and check out the VFG Flute Ensemble rehearsals.....the group is getting bigger, better and stronger each year.
Make a difference in your committment to the flute, get involved! Carolyn will do the rest for you! We are blessed to have her on board.

There are many other key leaders in the Guild, our President Nariida Coleman, who has heaps of wisdom and years of leadership to go on. Annette Sloan, who bascially does so much for our Guild that you could not count the amount of projects and hours spent by her doing something or other for the VFG. Jim has been keeping the Guild a float for I believe he said 30 plus years at the last meeting.....I will check my figures, but that sounds like a solid career to me. Let's face it to provide scholarships and cash prizes takes a level of dedicated organization, and Jim has done a fine job in providing VFG with the ability to continue it's support of the Victorian Community.

Many other behind the scenes folks are Evonne Neal who tireless supports the VFG Flute Ensemble (with her refined and lyrical piccolo playing) and helps out wherever she is needed. There is Kevin, Todd and Peter Bartels and always involved with the Barklamb Scholarship and preparing students to enter the Flute Ensemble competition. These men, you could say, are out in the field working with our future flute players of tomorrow. Thanks gents!

As anyone can see running a Guild takes energy, I mean vibrant energy. This team is here to serve you Victoria, so get involved.

Take up thy flute and become a member of this forward looking team today.

As the excitement of Australian Flute Festival comes upon us, some flutist are hard at work preparing for the Flute Quartet competition. This years work is by composer Michael Rosiak, and is a challenging composition to say the least. With outer sections that fly along at a steady pace, the piece is based on team work, and there needs to be an understanding of this right from the start. Several ensembles here in the Melbourne area are rehearsing for their shot at the prize and a true moment of well deserved recognition.

The Victorian Flute Guild wishes them all the very best.

The VCA Flute Ensemble will premiere two new works by Melbourne based composers next month at the Australian Flute Festival in Adelaide.
Their program of Australian music titled, "Blow Pipes" will feature exciting sounds and techniques for the extended flute ensemble.

Johanna Selleck, fine flautist and well-established composer has written "Blue Canticle" for the ensemble, which consists of many sonic extended techinques and a few low flutes. It will feature the sub-contrabass, contrabass, two Bass, and three Alto flutes, along with four C flutes. It is a one of a kind and a must hear. The other new composition is by Vaughan McAlley, who is a professional singer, recording engineer and darn good flute palyer. Vaughan has composed a two movement work for flute quintet (two C Flutes, Alto, Bass and Contrabass flutes) that is rather serene yet filled with melodic twists and turns. Probably a first of it's kind, with the inclusion of the Contrabass flute, the work is set in two movements titled, "Serenade"and "Burlesque."

The other pieces on the program by Russell Gilmour "Blow Pipes," an intense short work which will feature a flavourful flute tone, and "On the Wire" by Houston Dunleavy, a high octane, energetic, rhythmic work.

The VCA Flute Ensemble is a semi-professional student based ensemble that has a strong interest in new music. They plan to record these works along with other compositions, later this year. Please come and support their concert.

Vale Glenda Williams

Vale Glenda Williams (nee Higgins) – (22 December 1954 to 28 January 2009)

We were all saddened to hear of the untimely recent passing of Glenda Williams, one of our outstanding players and teachers over many years. Unfortunately, Glenda recently suffered a series of brain haemorrhages which were finally to lead to her premature death on 28 January 2009 at the age of 54. Glenda was a very active and successful flute player from an early age and was the inaugural winner of the prestigious Leslie Barklamb Scholarship in 1973. She was equally at home as a soloist, member of a chamber ensemble or as an orchestral player and similarly was able to perform all styles of music including baroque and classical repertoire up to contemporary music. She will be mourned and greatly missed not only by her immediate family – husband Michael and children Gavin, Kingsley and Bonita – but also by all of her other family members and her wide range of students and friends from the flute world and elsewhere. This was clearly evidenced on the day of her funeral service where the attendance filled the relatively-spacious Ewing Memorial Uniting Church to overflowing. The service was particularly moving, starting with the Overture to one of her favourite operas Mozart’s “The Magic Flute”, live performances by the Victorian Flute Guild Ensemble (Vivaldi Cantabile from Il Gardellino and J.S. Bach Air from Suite in D) and a particularly beautiful solo performance by Prudence Davis, the Principal Flute of the MSO (1st movement of the J. S. Bach Sonata for flute alone and Debussy’s Syrinx). This was especially moving as the latter was played by Prue as it was originally intended in effect from ‘off-stage’ and brought a wonderful close to the instrumental offerings in the service. Altogether, these offerings provided a wonderful musical tribute to a fine person and a fine musician. (Jim Scroggie)

The following was a personal profile written recently by Glenda as a Committee Member of the Victorian Flute Guild and originally published in The Flautist Vol. 38 No. 4 November 2007, p 14.

“My career playing the flute all started at Perth Modern School, when the WA Education Dept introduced free tuition on an orchestral instrument to selected students. I was thrilled to be offered a place in the first year of the course. Before this I had lived in a small country town so had not ever heard or even seen a flute. I loved the flute from my first ‘try’. Sometime after this I begged my parents to pay for private lessons (with Owen Fisenden), to supplement the school class lessons. I enjoyed playing in Concert Band and the School Orchestra. Following this there were State Music Camps and later National Music Camps, as well as the Australian Youth Orchestra. As the piccolo player, I went on an Asian Tour and the following year an American Tour - all very exciting!

During this time I moved to study at the University of Melbourne. My teachers there were Leslie Barklamb, Peter Edge and Vernon Hill (MSO). The Leslie Barklamb Flute Scholarship was established, and I am pleased to have been the first winner of the Senior Section (nee Higgins). Now I get to help choose the set pieces!

While still at Uni I was fortunate to be able to play casually in the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra for about six months. This was a fantastic opportunity and I learnt so much about orchestral playing. Another highlight was being the soloist playing Mozart D major Concerto No 2 with MSO in the State Final of the ABC Concerto and Vocal Competition, (now called Young Performers Awards). Mind you I felt quite terrified and “glued to the floor”!

Just before finishing Uni, I was performing in a chamber music concert at Montsalvat when I was asked if I would like to audition for the Elizabethan Melbourne Orchestra. Although rather surprised at this, I did follow up and had an audition. The following year I became Principal Flute. The Orchestra later changed its name to the State Orchestra of Victoria – and is now known as Orchestra Victoria. I held the position of Principal Flute for 12 years. We toured all over Australia playing for the Australian Ballet and the Australian Opera. I met my husband Michael at an “after the show” party. He still works for the Australian Ballet as Production Manager. Children came later, but I found that school, kindergarten and touring did not mix too well, so I left the orchestra to balance the “family time”.

My favourite operas and ballets to perform were by Richard Strauss, Mozart, Prokofiev, Mahler, Puccini, and Britten. After 12 years, I felt I needed a break from ballets by Tchaikovsky and Adam, (now Orchestra Victoria has a huge variety of works, and much less touring.) There were some very funny incidents that I remember. Bantam chickens once flew into the orchestra pit during a performance of “Boris Godounov” in the Adelaide Festival Theatre. One just brushed the end of my flute as it landed - very hard not to laugh and try to keep playing as it clucked between the next player and me, until interval!

I began examining for the AMEB soon after leaving the orchestra, and taught at Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School for many years. I still teach at Lauriston Girls’ School, Loreto, Mandeville Hall, and privately. I love hearing flute players play for me in their examinations. This may be in the Hawthorn Studios or country towns such as Mildura, Horsham or Traralgon. I still play my Sankyo silver flute with John Lehner (Flutemakers of Australia) gold headjoint.

I hope readers of this magazine, as well as practising their flutes, will continue to support the Professional Arts organisations that we are privileged to have in this country. Real theatre is so much better than watching something on a plasma screen! If we want good orchestras of high standard, quality ballet and exciting opera, we must attend, support, encourage and then speak our opinions. Arts organisations employ so many people, and help to add some balance to this sports-crazy country! We also need to ensure all students in our Primary schools have access to music lessons. It is not a question concerning the expense, what’s important is that students are exposed to “classical” music. I teach students who have never been to an opera, the ballet or to a symphony concert, yet they financially manage to own some amazing technology.

I urge all music performers, and especially the great numbers of flute players who read this, to support people like Richard Gill, and to be aware of the importance of passing on a love of music to future generations.”

1. Young Performer’s Recital - “A Magical Afternoon of Solo Flute Music”

On Sunday 27 July 2008, an outstanding recital of solo flute music was presented at the Richmond Uniting Church by one of the leading players on the international platform – our very own Andrew Day (see below). The program featured the J.S. Bach C major Sonata BWV 1033 and the C.P.E. Bach unaccompanied A Minor Sonata Wq 132, the ever-popular Debussy Syrinx, Honegger Danse de la Chevre and Varese Density 21.5, two works new to Australian audiences (Carter Scrivo In Vento and Ichiyanagi In a Living Memory), a DeLorenzo Caprice, the Takemitsu Air and finally the Paganini Caprice Op. 1 No. 21 (interestingly this latter work was the set piece for Andrew’s original Barklamb Scholarship win). Andrew’s title for the program was “A Magical Afternoon of Solo Flute Music” and this was very appropriate as, on a cold wintry afternoon, he brightened the day for all of those fortunate enough to attend. This concert is one of a series being sponsored by David Temby of Temby Australia and the Victorian Flute Guild is extremely grateful for his sponsorship and support of this series and other similar events in recent years.

It should be remembered that a program of solo flute music is particularly demanding where there is no accompanist to “lean on” and requires playing of the highest degree of virtuosity.

2. “In Preparation for Paris”

On Sunday 14 September 2008, Andrew presented a further concert at the splendid venue of St John’s Lutheran Church in Southgate; in this recital, he was joined by the talented pianist Leigh Harrold who has an international reputation and is in high demand as an associate artist. This program featured mainly modern works such as the Andersen Ballade and Dance of the Sylphs, Dufourt Duel A Coups de Gourdin (solo flute), Jolivet Sonata, Messiaen Le Merle Noir (The Blackbird), Takemitsu Air (solo flute) and the challenging Boulez Sonatine; these were offset by classical works such as the Mozart Rondo in D Major, the Leclair Sonata in E Minor and, as part of an encore, excerpts from the Bach Flute Sonata in C Major.

This recital was based on a program prepared specifically by Andrew as the only Australian flautist accepted into both the 2008 Eighth Jean-Pierre Rampal International Flute Competition in Paris and the 2009 Seventh Kobe International Flute Competition in Japan. He was recently one of only two flautists from around the world to reach the final of the highly-prestigious London Symphony Orchestra’s audition for the Principal Flute position.

Both of the above concerts were particularly rewarding for those who have followed Andrew’s outstanding development from his early days as a flautist. First, it is worth noting that, over the years, the Senior Section winners of the Leslie Barklamb Scholarship usually go on to great things in their flute career and Andrew’s recitals were excellent examples of this. He had previously won all sections of the Scholarship by the age of 14 – and it is wonderful to hear how his immense talent has developed since his early days. Almost all of his demanding programs were played from memory – in itself, no mean feat – and featured all of the requirements for successful interpretation of what was such a varied selection of pieces. His playing displayed the utmost control of elements such as pitch, technique, interpretation and mastery of not only the traditional classical repertoire and style, but also modern techniques such as the use of multi-phonics, flutter tonguing, key slaps and bending of notes. The performances were particularly notable for the use of wide dynamic ranges and tempi, clarity and precision of articulation and, perhaps above all, excellent tone and expressiveness. Andrew performs exclusively on a Muramatsu flute and extracts the ultimate from this beautiful instrument.

Andrew has studied extensively overseas and some detail of his overseas experiences and his general curriculum vitae can be found in The Flautist May 2008, Vol. 39, No. 2, page 6. It is suggested that any of his future recitals should not be missed by anyone interested in hearing the full capabilities and the mastery displayed by Andrew.

Another fantastic day at the Annual Flute Ensemble Competition and an enjoyable one for the many entrants in this year, the 15th Victorian Flute Guild Flute Ensemble Competition! It is so rewarding to feel the anticipation and excitement of the younger performers, together with the enthusiasm of the older groups as they get ready to perform in their ensembles after all the rehearsals they have dedicated themselves to.

Again held at Fintona Girls School in Balwyn, we ran the competition from 8.30am non-stop until just after 6pm on Sunday, May 18th with over 50 groups gathered together for the competition. The standard seems to be getting higher and higher every year, creating some fine performances from many and varied school and private flute groups. The Flute Ensemble is becoming a more popular group and there is a great amount of music both original and arrangements for this ensemble type.

Thank you to our generous sponsors this year including Flute Tree for providing the money for the venue, and Billy Hyde’s Music who provided a music voucher for each of the first prize winners. Both companies brought along a great display of flutes for all of us to try out and aspire to in the future.

The day began with the youngest, 13 years and under groups to the more advanced age groups, Novice and Open Sections. There are 4 categories of ensemble types in each age group / section including – Duets, Duets Plus One Other Instrument, Small Ensembles of 3 to 5 Players, and Large Ensembles of greater than 6 Players. The 13 Years and under sections included many very young players not much bigger than the flute itself. It is great to see their keenness and exhilaration when performing together and developing their ensemble skills under the guidance of their teachers. This year the 16 Years and under sections had the greatest amount of entrants and a tough field was presented in the Large Ensembles Competition. The repertoire chosen for all the ensembles was varied and interesting, catering for the many types of flute ensembles, which are now developing throughout the schools and in our community, whether they have piccolo’s, alto or bass flutes or just a great big group of C flutes. It is great to hear such a wide variety of music written for flute ensembles together with many other people arranging music specifically for the flute ensemble. We are privileged to have an immense collection of accessible music to perform in this most popular type of ensemble.

The adjudicators this year included Evonne Neal with Kelly Williams for the 13 years and Under Sections, Todd Callander and Nick Grunden for the 16 Years and Under sections, Nariida Coleman and Peter Sheridan for the 19 Years and Under Sections, and Robyn Carrington with Nariida Coleman for the Novice and Open Sections. The adjudicators commented on the sense of ensemble in balance and blend of tone as an overriding element in this kind of performance. The ensembles need to present an energetic performance to the audience, while creating the style of the music in concert, and show that they are enjoying themselves. The interpretation of articulation, rhythm and rhythmic pulse, a range of dynamics and good intonation were often the deciding factors between the groups who were awarded first places. The adjudicators seemed to enjoy the performance of the groups and commented about the high level of competition particularly, in the Open Sections.

The winning groups in the competition this year are:
A - 13 Years & Under - Duet: Double Trouble (Ringwood High School)
B - 13 Years & Under - Duet Plus One: Phadon Phat & Jessica Lew
C - 13 Years & Under - Small Groups: Scotch College Year 8 Trio
D - 13 Years & Under - Large Groups: Genazzano Junior Flute Ensemble
E - 16 Years & Under - Duet: Double A’s
F - 16 Years & Under - Duet Plus One: Alice & Iris
G - 16 Years & Under - Small Groups: Genazzano College Senior Flute Quartet
H - 16 Years & Under - Large Groups: Genazzano College Chamber Flutes
I - 19 Years & Under - Duet: Michael & Emma (Macleod College)
K - 19 Years & Under - Small Groups: MLC Senior Flute Quartet
L - 19 Years & Under - Large Groups: PLC Flutes
N - Novice Section - Large Ensemble: Menzies Creek Flute Ensemble
Q - Open Section - Small Groups: Suite Flutes (Monash University)
R - Open Section - Large Groups; Victorian Flute Ensemble & Melbourne University Flautists (equal 1st)

This year we were light on for the duet and duet + 1 sections so everyone get together and create some duets for next years ensemble competition. Also we could do with more Novice groups, community groups, etc. You are welcome to enter and perform in this friendly environment.

We had a great team of capable, enthusiastic and reliable helpers for the day who support this event year-in and year-out. I convey my personal thanks and a great pleasure to work with Rosemary Boyle, Danielle Brede, Rosemary Kenna, Evonne Neal, Nariida Coleman and Mary Sheargold, together with the other members of the Victorian Flute Guild committee who helped out and were readily able to respond to all situations with a smile.  Thank you!
Credit goes to all the directors, conductors and performers in all the groups for the overwhelming effort they put into their performances in the support of flute playing in Victoria.


And many, many thanks to all the parents, support teams, and all the members of the audience, who willingly bring their flautists to this occasion and encourage them in the pursuit of their flute studies.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again at “The 16th Annual Flute Ensemble Competition” next year, 2009, and hope to see many new faces too! We will confirm the dates with you at the end of this year.

Mind Your Mozart

Sunday afternoon, 1 June, 2008 featured the first concert from the Victorian Flute Guild’s 2008 Young Performers Series. Cleverly named “Mind Your Mozart”, the concert featured the four Mozart flute quartets for flute and strings:

Flute Quartet No.1 in D major, K. 285
Flute Quartet No.2 in G major, K. 285a
Flute Quartet No.3 in C major, K. Anh. 171 (258b)
Flute Quartet No.4 in A major, K. 298

Mozart was commissioned to write the quartets by a wealthy amateur flautist in 1777 and they were performed today by Mary Sheargold and Agatha Yim on flutes and Rebecca Adler, Lilian-Terri Dahlenburg and Aaron Yeoh on strings. It is worthwhile noting that a flute quartet can be either a combination of four flutes (as in the VFG Christmas Carols book) or a string quartet in which the 1st violin is replaced by a flute (as in this case) giving an ensemble of flute, violin, viola and cello.

Held in the Art Gallery behind Richmond Uniting Church, the concert had a friendly and relaxed atmosphere with the appealing combination of beautiful music followed by coffee and cakes!

The Quartets were all enjoyable to listen to, with a cheerful tone created through the lighthearted music. Performing the four quartets in succession resulted in a program with an overall joyful character with the contrasts between each quartet complementing the next. It was uplifting to hear beautiful music played so well and the ensemble did a brilliant job of bringing the music to life. The concert was an impressive start to the Young Performers Series for 2008.

Evonne Neal~

This year marked the 36th annual Leslie Barklamb Scholarship. Though our numbers across all sections were down on 2007, I am pleased to report that every entrant registered and appeared in their section - a fantastic achievement! With the support of a band of merry adjudicators (Lisa-Maree Amos, Peter Sheridan, Carolyn Grace, Rosemary Boyle, Laila Engle, Greg Lee, Christine Morris, Matthew Barker and Todd Callander) and volunteers (Jo Selleck, Glenda Williams, Evonne Neal, Carolyn Grace, Rosemary Boyle and Todd Callander), our Saturday preliminaries of the Senior and Intermediate sections, and the running of the 11, 13 and 15 years and under sections, provided a great day of entertainment for all the young flautists and their families. It was great to enjoy the cosy facilities at Fintona Girls' School, and we were very grateful for the support on the day from Wombat Woodwind and Brass, with repair expert Martin offering complimentary last minute repairs for all competitors. Thankfully, not too many people needed to call on him!

At the end of the day, we had our winners and finalists selected, and preparations began for the Finals on Friday 15 August 2008.

We were very lucky to have two outstandingly credentialed adjudicators for the finals in 2008: Alexa Still from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, and Emma Ayres, from ABC Classic FM. They clearly enjoyed the evening and were very encouraging to all the performers. A small audience gathered to hear some exceptional performances, accompanied by Alan Hardy's wonderful, very detailed commentary. A very big thank you to all the pianists who accompanied our winners and finalists and made the evening a very special one.
And now for the results!

The winners of the 2008 Leslie Barklamb Scholarship were:

Senior Section: (The Leslie Barklamb Scholarship)

First Prize: Jessica Jiang
Second Prize: Caitlin Ayers

Intermediate Section: (The Marion Brown Award)

First Prize: Hillary Huang
Second Prize: Mirai Kirsanovs

15 years and under section: (The Margaret Brooke Award)
First Prize: Phadon Phipat
Second Prize: Georgia Borghesi

13 years and under section:
First Prize: Phadon Phipat
Second Prize: Jessica Lew

11 years and under section:
First Prize: Jessica Ting
Second Prize: Anna Sing

2008 was a great year for us in terms of sponsorship and prize money. With the very generous support of Temby Australia, we were able to offer cash prizes of $1,000 and $500 in the Senior Section, and a $200 second prize in the Intermediate Section. Flute Tree donated a $400 gift voucher for the first prize in the Intermediate Section, and Wombat Woodwind and Brass offered much increased, generous cash prizes in the junior Sections. Without the support of the music industry, events like the Leslie Barklamb Scholarship would simply not be sustainable in the long term. We thank our sponsors warmly for their generous support, and hope that the industry stays enthusiastic and works with us again in 2009 to make the LBS a worthwhile endeavour for students.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my two years as Secretary of the Leslie Barklamb Scholarship Committee, and thank my fellow committee members, Alan Hardy, Anne Rose, Jo Selleck and Glenda Williams for their support and assistance during the year. I'm looking forward to hearing next year's performers, and hope that those who didn't win this year come back more determined in 2009.

On Tuesday night May 1st (6:00PM) at Melba Hall the University of Melbourne Flute Ensemble will make history as they perform the premiere of Johanna Selleck's stunning new compsition for multiple flutes titled 'BLUE CANTICLE.' This piece will be directed by our own Peter Bartels and will feature consorts of C flutes, Alto flutes, Bass flutes and the contrabass and Sub-contrabass flute. The work was commissioned by Peter Sheridan and the VCA Flute Ensemble in 2009, though has never been premiered in the State of Victoria.

The work is about ten minutes in length and features numerous contemporary effects (ie: pitch glissandos, singing and playing, timbral trills, special tonguning effects as well as unique instrumental blendings) set against some of the most lyrical writing for the flutes in years. I dare say this work a short, concise, beautifully composed masterpiece and should be heard live.

Please join us for this most historic moment.

In his electronic music, Peter Tahourdin is concerned with modern technology as an added resource that carries its own aesthetic and may be used...as a means of shaping other musical resources...
Biography
Peter Tahourdin was born in southern England in 1928. He studied composition with Richard Arnell at Trinity College of Music in London, graduating in 1952. In the years that followed, various concert and broadcast performances of his music were given in England, Holland and Canada.
Peter came to Australia in 1964 and was appointed visiting composer to the University of Adelaide. The following year he was commissioned by the Australian Ballet to compose the score for Illyria, which was first produced, with choreography by Garth Welch, at the 1966 Adelaide Festival of Arts - it was later to appear on television. A long-standing interest in electronic music led him to undertake a year's course of study at Toronto University in Canada. On returning to Adelaide he became active as a composer, lecturer and broadcaster, and he established the first practical course in electronic music in Australia at the University of Adelaide in 1969.
He was appointed to the staff of the Faculty of Music at the University of Melbourne in 1973, first as lecturer, then senior lecturer, in composition. During the two years 1978-79 he was chairman of the Composers' Guild of Australia. His compositional output stems from a variety of commissions and interests, ranging from orchestral and chamber music to choral, electronic and educational music, as well as music for the theatre.
The five symphonies stand at critical points in Peter's career and are markedly different from one another, both in structure and in content. Equally, his chamber music reflects his changing approach to musical composition - from the tonal Clarinet Sonata (1962) through the four Dialogues (1971-84) and the Quartet for Strings (1982). All of these are concerned with the notion of direct yet varied interplay between the performers, to the Raga Music series (1985-88), which takes its structural base from procedures that underlie the unfolding of the raga in north Indian classical music.
In his electronic music he is concerned with modern technology as an added resource that carries its own aesthetic and may be used in its own right (Three Mobiles - 1974), as a means of shaping other musical resources (San Diego Canons - 1983), or as one element within a more complex whole (Ern Malley - A Dramatic Testament - 1976).
Peter retired from the University of Melbourne in 1988 at the age of 60 in order to work full-time as a composer. Since then he has written a number of works, including two operas: Heloise and Abelard and The Tempest. More recently he has composed solo works for violin, viola, `cello and bassoon, his latest being an Elegy for string orchestra and percussion, subitled A lament for a world that might have been (2005).
Peter's music has been regularly presented in Le Festival International Albert Roussel in Flanders (including the first European production of his chamber opera Heloise and Abelard in 2000), where he has been 'composer in residence' on two separate occasions. Peter is still composing at the age of 80 in Melbourne.
Peter’s Music for Solo Flutes is featured on the next page (with permission) and is available from the Australian Music Centre info@amcoz.com.au, together with the program note. The score exists in two versions - at sounding pitch and with the alto flute transposed. The transposed version is the one for performance purposes.
