Australian Heritage Series

Trio Lamorna (1933)

By Frank Hutchens

Regular price $70.00 Sale

Trio in three movements for violin, cello and piano

  • Allegro Moderato – Andante
  • Adagio – Piu Mosso
  • Poco Andante - Allegro

The name “Lamorna” comes perhaps from the Cornish word meaning a traditional folk song/ ballad associated with Cornwall and dealing with the courtship of a man and a woman. Although the premiere performance was given in November 1933, the only existing manuscript was in a lamentable and unfinished state.  There were so few piano trios written before 1935 by any Australian composer and it is hoped that the reconstruction of this lovely work will be a welcome addition to the repertoire.
Composed 1933

      Two Songs by Gordon Rodda (Rodda)

      By Brennan Keats

      Regular price $10.00 Sale

      Medium voice and piano.

      • 1. Prayer, c.2'00
      • 2. On a Gate & Tower at Yu-Chou, c.0'50

      A gifted musician and pianist but little is known of Gordon Rodda.  He shone on one occasion when the Australian pianist William Murdoch returned home during 1929 and one of his engagements was to play the Greig Piano Concerto with the ABC Orchestra in a broadcast.   At the last-minute Murdoch became extremely ill and was unable to perform.  Gordon Rodda was asked to ‘step in’ and so memorised the work overnight and the broadcast went ahead.

      It is understood that Gordon was to go to Germany to further his pianistic career during the mid 1930’s and there he disappeared.

      Composed by Gordon Rodda 1928/29.  Edited by Brennan Keats 2020.

      Urashima

      By Horace Keats

      Regular price $350.00 Sale

      A Japanese Fantasy

      For solo voices, chorus and orchestra, c.20'00

      “Urashima”, the poem which has been set to music by Horace Keats, is a legend translation from the Japanese.  It may be described as a narrative fantasy in a compact form; and the story told in the lines is as follows:

      The narrator, who has the opening and closing passages, remembers as he walks by the sea an old story of a fisher-lad, Urashima, considered the best fisher of his village, who one day sailed his craft out beyond the farthest visible horizon.  As he looked about him, seeing nothing but the ocean and the sky, there appeared from the waves the daughter of the Sea King.  She threw an enchantment upon his mind, causing him to love her deeply; and she took him to the Immortal Isles, where they plighted their troth and lived in love.  But after a few days (as it seemed to him) had passed, he told her that he would go home to see his parents.  She did not try to keep him, but asking him whether he meant to return to her; put into his hands a small casket.  In his excitement he did not hear her tell him that if he wished to return to the Immortal Isles he must on no account open it.  Hastening home to his bewilderment he found that the village, His home, everything, had disappeared and that the grass grew over all.  So distressed was he that, hoping for some magic spell to work, he hastily opened the casket; and a small cloud, a trail of mist, drifted from it towards the Immortal Isles, and he himself, looking down, saw that he had grown old, incredibly old and shrivelled; his hair was white; his whole body was bent double with age.  In his grief he fell upon the ground and wept, and as he wept he fell asleep in death.  Urashima – pron. U-rash-im-a
      Composed 1935
