Title A name given to the resource Towel Clothes legend written by Percy Grainger for the Grainger Museum display Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Percy Grainger Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Grainger Museum Collection Description An account of the resource The towel clothes in the Grainger Museum are one of the highlights of the Costume Collection. Numbering 26 individual pieces or outfit, the towel clothes represent the Graingers’ innovative ideas and creativity in dress. Percy Grainger wrote about the towel clothes for the display in his Museum in the following terms: “Towel clothes made by Rose Grainger, Percy Grainger and Ella Grainger. The artist is not (as so many so called “inartistic” people seem to like to believe) a being supernaturally gifted with skill for some branch of art. To sing, make music, paint, draw, carve and dance is natural to all humanity, and it is only a lopsided civilisation, made on “specialisation”, that scares the “tame cats” of humanity into abandoning their natural right to an allround manysided life. The artist-type is not quite so tam-cat-like and more easily avoids what Tennyson called “the falsehood of extremes”. So the artist tries to keep the balance between normality and the slavish modes and crazes of the moment. In a licentious age he is a puritan; in a puritanical age he is a hedonist; in a dirty age he strives to be clean; in a drab age he is colour-seeking. My mother was devoted to Lafcadio Hearn’s stories of Japan and she worshipped many aspects of Japanese civilisation – for instance its cleanliness. And she and I often discussed the filthiness of European clothes: men’s coast in which the sweat of years is allowed to gather, our shoes that bring the dirt of the streets into our homes. And around 1910 (after we both had been fired by the beauty of Maori and South Sea island clothes and fabrics seen in museum in New Zealand and Australia) my mother mooted the idea of clothes made of Turkish towels – cool in summer, warm in the winter, and washable at all times. I leaped at the idea, seeing therein a chance to return to something comparable with the garish brilliance of the “skyblue and scarlet” garments of our Saxon and Scandinavian forefathers. I resented very much that the darkness and dullness of more southerly European fashions (after the Norman Conquest) had ousted the bright colourfulness natural to the north of Europe (think of the clothes made of bird’s feathers described in Lady Gregory’s translations of old Irish Tales). The result of my mother’s and my teamwork is the field of towel-clothing is seen in [this Grainger Museum display]. Between 1910 and 1914 I wore these clothes while giving many of my lessons in London and continually during my composing holiday in Denmark. In 1932 and 1933 my wife and I took up again this idea of clothing made of towelling and when in Australia in 1934 and 1935 we were amazed by the beauty of the bath towels on sale in Australia – some imported from England, Chekoslovakia [sic] and America, but most of them (and amont them the most beautiful ones) manufactured in Australia. Here was a chance to show what could be done with the beauty born of machinery – a beauty as rich and subtle, in its own way, as anything made by hand or loom. The problem was to use the towels with as little cutting and swing as possible, and in this skill my wife shone.” https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/0836e67e37fde25673cb6ca487be7892.JPG bc78b0e3041ce66c2d82b2b47326cfee Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Collection display featuring the Marshall-Hall Collection Description An account of the resource English-born George W.L. Marshall-Hall (1862–1915) was a composer, musician and conductor. He established the Conservatorium of Music at the University of Melbourne in 1895, and became the first Ormond Professor of Music. In 1892 Marshall-Hall founded the Marshall-Hall Orchestra, which was to have 111 concerts before foundering due to financial problems and Union action in 1912. He was a bohemian, and maintained close friendships with artists Tom Roberts, Arthur Streeton and others of the Heidelberg School. Percy Grainger met Marshall-Hall on a number of occasions. Grainger described Marshall-Hall as ‘a real good sort, & lots of fun’, and appreciated his ‘many practical tips’ for Grainger’s career development. Grainger deliberately sought out the portrait of Marshall-Hall by Tom Roberts for acquisition for the Museum, as part of a larger collection of Marshall-Hall material which he acquired in 1938 and 1939 from Marshall-Hall’s family. The Marshall-Hall Collection in the Grainger Museum is extensive, numbering in excess of 50 archive boxes of material. It includes musical manuscripts, and a supporting collection of letters and memorabilia. https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/793138634062f29703bddfaceb22f687.jpg e69923c71e21ab10238cd71a38d2c347 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

By contrast, the Music Museum would ‘preserve and exhibit things of general musical interest and things connected the general musical life of Australia’. Grainger sought out the musical collections of Professor Marshall-Hall, first Professor of Music at the University of Melbourne, as the first major acquisition for the Music Museum. After setting up the initial display for the Opening in 1938, Percy and Ella Grainger spent a further nine months at the Museum in 1955-56, working intensely to organise and enrich the exhibition contents.

Throughout the entire process Grainger worked closely with University Architect John Gawler. The first stage of the Museum was completed during Grainger’s visit to Australia in 1934-35. Grainger decided key features of the building. He chose the distinctive red bricks for their ‘rich color effect’, and specified glass bricks to create natural lighting. Grainger refused to have electricity installed in the building during his lifetime, due to fear of fire destroying the collections. He requested changes to Gawler’s ceiling and roof designs, to facilitate a second story in the future. Grainger had to leave Australia to continue his concert career prior to the completion of this first stage. Percy and Ella Grainger returned in 1938 to continue work on the second stage. The Museum officially opened on 10 December 1938, with 250 guests in attendance to view the building and the display of ‘manuscripts of musical works, musical instruments, paintings, and personal effects of composers’. https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/0884c283a8f2582a6d69c1e1f28120cf.JPG bd6ed3473be7674ea0b02b1bdc07b4d1 https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/12aa55b60f95b8d2af54802fd054d573.JPG e530b4a13588dbd442d4acb3bcbdf32b https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/d579451dec9bd94416c3c58a658cae10.JPG eea0c51a00531eaf28a51408d655382b https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/831f5363b528ce55e3097dc4fe7ad5c8.JPG 5a9e240a7f04c587d920150b2754c978 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
