‘A Revolutionist by Nature’
Australian composer and pianist Percy Grainger is known for his unusually dedicated approach to preserving his own legacy. In 1918, Scottish writer and music critic D.C. Parker published a booklet titled Percy Grainger: A Study, constituting the first standalone Grainger biography. This work contains early examples of tropes that would later characterize scholarly constructions of Grainger: tropes that had, in fact, come from Grainger himself. Th…

The British (and International?) Music Society
In the aftermath of the First World War, Henri Verbrugghen founded the first Australian branch of the British Music Society. The BMS – a product of post-First World War cultural renewal – was established in London to ‘champion the cause of British composers at home and abroad’. In Sydney, these aspirations extended to promoting music from Australia, and through affiliation with the International Society for Contemporary Music, music of the rest o…
‘You have to work ten times harder’
Since the 1990s, UK government policy has sought to increase access to higher education, with a plan to improve social mobility. However, enhancing the employability prospects for all has proven difficult to achieve through widening participation alone. This research explores this paradox, via the experiences of first-in-family undergraduates as they prepare to enter the UK graduate labour market. The concept of capital development is applied to …
Thérèse Radic’s A Whip Round for Percy Grainger (1982) and the Archive on Stage
autobiographical projects-including his extensive autobiographical writings and the autobiographical museum he built at the University of Melbourne-as well as within the dynamics of Australian theatre in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This article argues that Radic's presentation of Grainger, his life, and music, was mobilized at a particular moment of cultural introspection in late twentieth-century Australia to aid in the exploration and criti…
Primitive, Antique, and Modern’
In 1933, the city of Sydney hosted the first dedicated musical exhibition in Australia. Showcasing historic instruments, manuscripts, and ephemera in the settler-colonial society of Australia, this exhibition raised uncomfortable questions about the nation’s history. This article explores the exhibition in the context of contemporary musical culture and collecting practices, arguing that this event physically manifests ongoing debates about the f…

Music and Victorian Liberalism
Liberalism and liberal thought played a key role in many of Victorian Britain’s musical practices and institutions. Music also appears prominently, as an example or metaphor, in the works of many liberal writers and thinkers. Yet, until now, there has been no concentrated scholarly exploration of the multiplicity of relationships between music and liberalism in Victorian Britain. Sarah Collins’s edited volume Music and Victorian Liberalism: Compo…
The Only Thing “Womanish” is the Composer’
The 1880s saw a burgeoning of exhibitions of ‘Women’s Work’ across the world. These events focused on the artistic and industrial abilities of women, signifying an unprecedented shift away from the emphasis usually placed on maleness and masculinized technology in contemporary exhibition culture. The first Exhibition, held in Bristol in 1885, included a musical novelty: a concert entirely of works composed by women. The next, in Sydney in 1888, i…

METHODS: Participants (n = 360) were randomized to a waiting list control group or to receive either a VR or an SC self-management booklet. VR involved provoking dizziness in a controlled manner by making repeated head movements in order to promote neu…
Spirituality and Well-Being in Frail and Nonfrail Older Adults
Previous studies have identified that spiritual beliefs contribute to psychological well-being (PWB) in older people, but limited research has considered the effects of spirituality on PWB when physical health deteriorates and people become frail. We recruited 233 British participants from warden-controlled retirement housing to complete interviewer-administered questionnaires. Results showed that, after we controlled for marital status, age, edu…
