SHEP – At the beginning of the next ten years
The State Honours Ensemble Program is a
wonderful example of a strong tradition
growing from relatively modest beginnings. It
has developed from a visionary initiative into a
firmly established aspect of music learning in
Queensland, bringing together young people
from all over the state to share their passion
for making music. Interest in SHEP has now
spread to other States, and we welcome wider
participation in this valuable activity.
For us at Queensland Conservatorium, it is a
delight to welcome hundreds of emerging
How much fun is making music all day? How
many new friends do you make and old ones
reconnect with when you do that? What
terrific new music you learn and play and what
wonderful conductors you have to work with too.
You must be at SHEP!
Welcome to you all!
When I see you all at the beginning of our time
together I marvel at what great music we have in
schools across Queensland. What great teachers
too! Then there are all of you; the future of music
in our state and country. One day you may play in
a famous ensemble in Europe or sing with the “Met” in New York. One day you
may be one of the conductors that inspires young musicians at SHEP or, most
importantly, you may be a teacher who makes a difference in students’ lives –
like nominating them for this wonderful program.

Our journey together through these next few days is not just about the music,
or you, or me; it’s about all those involved – you, your family and teachers, the
conductor who leads you, the administrators who put the program together
for you and those who you will lift up when you perform on Sunday. This is
about all the people who make SHEP the wonderful celebration that it is.

SHEP – Where the names came from
Graham Lloyd
Major Graham Lloyd
enlisted in the Australian
Regular Army in 1972 as
an apprentice musician
studying the clarinet. Upon
graduation he received
the Boosey and Hawkes
prize for instrumental
proficiency, and was posted
to the 4th Military District
Band in Adelaide, South Australia.
In 1982, he began his Student Bandmaster Course at the Royal Military School
of Music Kneller Hall, Twickenham, London, and received many prizes and
awards. On his return to Australia in 1985, he was promoted to lieutenant and
appointed as the second-in-command/deputy music director of the Band
of the 5th Military District, Perth. In February 2004, Graham accepted the
position of officer commanding/chief instructor at the Defence Force School
of Music. Graham’s main interests are conducting, composing, arranging and
teaching.
He has arranged and composed more than 400 works for concert bands,
brass bands and orchestras for every possible occasion from major concerts
in the Opera House to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo in Sydney in 2005. He
completed his Master of Music Composition at Melbourne University in
1999, studying with Professor Brenton Broadstock. He has been published by
Muso’s Media in Australia, Barnhouse Publications in the USA, and De Haske
in Europe.
Percy Grainger
(1882 - 1961)
Percy Aldridge Grainger
was born at Brighton, near
Melbourne, in 1882 and
from an early age showed a
precocious musical talent,
making his first public
appearance at the age of
10 years.
Following studies in
Germany, he began a concert career in England and toured South Africa and
Australia. In 1906 he met Grieg, who became enthusiastic about Grainger’s
talent. He settled in the USA, giving a sensational debut in New York in 1915
and gave summer sessions in Chicago from 1919 to 1931.
His wide-ranging musical output was influenced by his studies of folk music,
and featured experimental combinations of traditional tonality with “gliding”
intervals, the use of polyrhythm and unusual, even electronic, instruments.
As early as 1937, he wrote a quartet for electronic instruments, notating the
pitch by zigzags and curves and rejected common Italian designations of
tempi and dynamics. An energetic eccentric, Percy Grainger has gained a
certain measure of affection and stature in the public mind as an Australian
musical pioneer.
6 SHEP 2012
Brian Hogg
was born in Yorkshire,
England, and came over to
Australia in 1964 with his
parents. He now considers
himself as an Australian
and works in the creative
ministries department of
the Salvation Army.
He has a Diploma of
Music and a Bachelor
of Education, and enjoys a growing reputation as a composer/conductor.
Through his activity as a musician in the Salvation Army, his works for brass
band have been played and recorded internationally. His compositions for
concert and symphonic bands have earned him the Australian Band and
Orchestra Directors’ Association’s Composer of the Year in both 1986 and
1989. He has twice won an award for significant contributions to the school
band repertoire presented by Brolga Music Publishers and has a growing
international reputation as a composer for both brass and symphonic bands.
His published works range from beginner bands to university level. During
the past ten years he has adjudicated at contests and numerous festivals
throughout Australia where his own compositions have found their way onto
the repertoire lists. As a conductor, the role of community music-making is
an important issue, and with wide experience with all levels of musicians, he
strives to continually extend the musicianship of the ensembles he works
with.
William Lovelock
(1899 - 1986)
William Lovelock was
educated at Emmanuel
School, Wadsworth and
Trinity College of Music,
London, where he later
became a member of the
teaching and examination
staff. He also held a
number of organist posts
in London, including four years as private organist to the first Viscountess
Cowdray.
From 1939 to 1956 he was examiner in music at the University of London,
where he received a doctorate in composition in 1932, and was Dean of the
Faculty of Music from 1954 to 1956. He saw active service in World War I and
World War II. From 1956 to 1959, Lovelock was the founding director of the
Queensland State Conservatorium of Music. Following this he was active as
a composer, adjudicator and examiner, as well as music critic of the Courier
Mail in Brisbane.
His many compositions, unapologetically Romantic in style, range from
large orchestral, choral and band works to teaching pieces for children, and
14 concertos. Some of his works were intended especially for Australian
performers, such as his Trumpet Concerto (1968) for John Robertson. A
number of other compositions helped to fill gaps in the repertoire of certain
instruments, such as tuba, double bass, and xylophone. Lovelock also wrote
about 25 textbooks on music theory and history, a number of which remain
in use in Australia.

Sir Charles
Mackerras
(1925-2010)
Sir Charles Mackerras
was a conductor and
musicologist, and
introduced the passionate
and heartfelt music of
Leos Janácek, the Czech
nationalist composer, to
British audiences.
He was one of the great conductors of the 20th Century, with interests
ranging from the operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan to the high opera
of Wagner and Strauss, and was blessed with a rare ability to combine
performance and musicology.
He began taking violin lessons at the age of seven, and also studied flute, but
changed instruments after reading in a newspaper of a shortage of oboists.
After he orchestrated his own expulsion from The King’s School, Parramatta,
his parents relented over his musical ambitions. By the age of 16 he was
orchestrating music in the style of Mozart. After four years as oboist with the
ABC Sydney Orchestra he sailed for England in 1947.
Although based in London for more than 60 years, he remained an Australian
at heart, never losing his “Aussie twang” or his direct, sometimes brusque, nononsense
manner of speech.
Ray Schloeffel
(2002)
Ray Schloeffel was known
as ‘The Reverend’ and ‘the
Gentle Giant’ of Australian
fiddling. He first picked
up the violin as a teenage
ward of the state. He had
few formal lessons but
within a couple of years he
began making a living from
busking.
He kept his life as a musician quite separate from his adopted parents, who
rarely saw him perform. A professional player for nearly 30 years, he was a
member of many Sydney bands including Speewah, the Surfin’ Shamrocks,
McCauley’s Raiders, Grand Junction, the Wolverines, Tallowood, Gilligan’s
Ireland, and he was a founding member of the Fiddlers Festival.
While he did not record a lot of his music – he preferred to play live –
attempts are being made to collect his works and recordings for release in
the near future. Though not prolific, he was a brilliant writer. Blacktown Jig
has become an Australian fiddle classic, and several recorded versions are
available including his own rendition on Strung Out. When he passed away
he left a legacy of memories but no collection of his recordings.
Alfred Hill
(1869-1960)
Born in Melbourne, Alfred
Hill spent most of his
early life in New Zealand.
As a child he learned the
cornet and violin, playing
the cornet with Martin
Simonsen’s opera company
at the age of nine, and the
violin on tour with Charles
Harding’s Grand Opera
Company in 1884.
With his brother John, he travelled to Leipzig, where they studied at the Royal
Conservatorium of Music between 1887 and 1891. He studied under Gustav
Schreck, Hans Sitt and Oscar Paul during this time, and was the winner of
the Helbig Prize. He was invited to play second violin with the Gewandhaus
Orchestra, and so played under the conductorship of composers including
Brahms, Grieg, Tchaikovsky and Max Bruch.
He returned to New Zealand, and worked as a violin teacher, recitalist,
chamber musician, and conductor of choirs and orchestras such as the
Wellington Orchestral Society. With the Belgian violinist Ovide Musin, he
toured New Zealand and travelled to Sydney in March 1897. He remained
in Sydney where he conducted ensembles such as the Sydney Liedertafel,
and the Great Synagogue Choir, and on New Year’s Day of January, 1901, the
Commonwealth Celebrations Choir of 11,000 voices and 10 brass bands.
During his lifetime he wrote more than five hundred compositions, including
12 symphonies, numerous concerti, a mass, 17 string quartets and eight
operas.
Sally Sloane
(1894-1982)
The songs of Sally Sloane
are considered to be one
of the most important
sources of Australian
traditional folk music. She
was taught music by her
mother who sang and
played many instruments.
She is known mainly for
her substantial repertoire of songs but she also played the concertina, button
accordion (bush accordion), Jew’s harp, piano, fiddle, and the tin whistle.
Other songs that she sang were learned from older singers in her area, often
friends of the family.
Folklore collector John Meredith discovered her and her partner Fred in
1954. Over the next seven years, Meredith visited her more than 60 times
and collected more than 150 dance tunes and songs from her. Her repertoire
has been described as a mixture of Anglo-Celtic traditional music, Australian
traditional music, and popular songs from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
She was made an honorary life member of the Bush Music Club, and was still
singing in public well into her 80s. Her songs have been archived as part of
the Meredith Collection at the National Library of Australia.

SHEP – Where the names came from (continued)
Malcolm Williamson
(1931 - 2003)
Malcolm Williamson
was born in Sydney and
studied composition
and horn at the Sydney
Conservatorium of Music.
His teachers included
Eugene Goossens. In 1950
he moved to London where
he worked as an organist,
a proofreader, and a nightclub pianist. From 1953 he studied with Elisabeth
Lutyens. He was a prolific composer at this time, receiving many commissions
and often performed his own works, both on organ and piano.
In 1975, the death of Sir Arthur Bliss left the title of Master of the Queen’s
Music vacant. His appointment to fill this post was a surprise, over other
composers such as Benjamin Britten, Michael Tippett and Malcolm Arnold,
such that William Walton had remarked that “the wrong Malcolm” had been
chosen. In addition, he was the first non-Briton to hold the post.
He wrote a number of pieces connected to his royal post, including Mass of
Christ the King (1978) and Lament in Memory of Lord Mountbatten of Burma
(1980).

Jarnach in Spain, and
studied with Alexander
Goehr in London. In 1972 he
studied composition with
Franco Evangelisti in Rome.
He was musical director of the Queensland Opera Company from 1968 to
1971. While there, he conducted the Australian premieres of works such as
Joseph Haydn’s L’infedeltà delusa and Georges Bizet’s Le docteur Miracle.
He also wrote a series of children’s operettas which were toured throughout
Queensland by the Queensland Opera Company. In 1969 he won the Albert
H Maggs Composition Award. In 1971, he received his Doctorate of Music
from the University of Melbourne. Musica Viva Australia commissioned him to
compose a work for the 1974 tour of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields.
His music includes operas; concerti for flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn,
trumpet, piano, violin, viola, and guitar; two symphonies; orchestral suites
and overtures; chamber works; sonatas for flute, clarinet and bassoon;
incidental music for dramatic presentations; film and ballet scores; and songs.
Betty Beath
Betty Beath is a composer
and pianist. She was
head of music at St
Margaret’s Anglican
Girls School, Brisbane
and taught composition
and musicianship
at the Queensland
Conservatorium Griffith
University. She has
produced works in
orchestral, chamber and instrumental music, art song, and music drama.
Her work is broadcast and performed widely in Australia, USA, the United
Kingdom, Europe, Mexico, Japan and Indonesia.
She was born in Bundaberg and began her musical training at the age of
three. By the time she was 17, she had won many eisteddfod competitions
and had twice been a finalist in the ABC Concerto and Vocal Competitions
and had been awarded a Queensland University Music Scholarship. This
scholarship took her to the Sydney Conservatorium, where she studied with
Frank Hutchens. Later she graduated from Queensland Conservatorium
specialising in piano and voice.
In 1974 she and David Cox were jointly awarded a South East Asian
Fellowship by the Australia Council which allowed them to carry out
research and gather materials for writing in Indonesia. Since then they have
developed a strong interest in the music and arts of Bali and Java, and have
co-produced many projects that are unique in bridging the cultures they
have experienced.

Pacific Honours Ensemble Program (PHEP)
PHEP Directors: Ralph Hultgren (Australia), Professor Scott McKee (USA)

Guidelines for Staff
1. Always insist on acceptable standards of behaviour. These standards are
achieved by example and within a climate of respect.
2. Value the contribution of each person, staff and student; establish
positive relationships.
3. Clearly state expectations. Consistency and a fair-minded attitude in
all situations will support the students and the program. Humour and
equanimity are excellent tools.
4. Success in resolving problems comes from identifying individual
concerns and dealing immediately with issues before they escalate.
Seek collegial support to help provide a satisfactory solution.
5. The natural exuberance of adolescents operating under intensive
performance conditions is inevitable. Staff should capitalise on this and
manage it productively.
6. The full benefit of SHEP 2012 can only be realised with the commitment
of all people involved. Therefore, where unacceptable behaviour
interferes with the achievement of the goals of the program, the
privilege of being a participant may be withdrawn.
7. The manager will be available to assist with any matters of concern
relating to the SHEP 2012 program.
Guidelines for Students
1. All participants must be able to attend for the full four-day period.
2. Participants represent their school throughout the event. Inappropriate
behaviour will not be tolerated. Young Conservatorium reserves the
right to exclude from the State Honours Ensemble Program 2012 any
participant who, in its opinion, places in jeopardy the safety or rights
of others, or who appear to have rejected the reasonable controls
placed upon them by the management and staff of the program. In this
circumstance there will be no refund of any fees paid by the participants
excluded from the program.
3. Participants are required to wear appropriate clothing and covered
flat footwear (not thongs) each day of SHEP. Students not wearing
appropriate clothing will not be allowed to participate in SHEP. Students
not wearing covered footwear will be withdrawn until appropriate
covered footwear can be transported to the Conservatorium. It is
extremely important students comply with workplace health and safety
recommendations. Should participants present with inappropriate
clothing or footwear SHEP staff will, with sensitivity, withdraw students
for consultation with the manager.
4. Participants will not be permitted to leave the Queensland
Conservatorium during the State Honours daily program. Participants
auditioning for positions with a tertiary institution in Brisbane will be
granted permission to leave for these appointments. Written notification
from parents/guardians will be required for participants required to
leave the SHEP program during rehearsals. A medical certificate will be
required for other absences from the program.
5. For the Finale Concert all students must wear their full school dress
uniform (not band uniforms). Where required, time is allowed
for changing before the concert. Home Schooled and Young
Conservatorium nominated students will be required to wear black and/
or white apparel with covered clean black shoes.
