Title A name given to the resource Orchestral harp Subject The topic of the resource orchestral instruments; Multivocal exhibition Old Quad Description An account of the resource At the turn of the twentieth century, when Australia’s first permanent orchestras were beginning to emerge, the University of Melbourne employed Walter Barker as Victoria’s first university level harp teacher. Barker established himself in Melbourne touring Australasia and America with well-known singers, playing in one-off concerts and occasionally performing in Alberto Zelman’s Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. His influence on the development of harp playing in Victoria is seen in his students and grand-students, probably the best known of whom was another Melbourne Symphony Orchestra player Adrian Bendall. Bendall’s mother, Alicia Maud Bendall nee Bartlett, learnt how to play from Walter Barker and she, in turn, taught four of her own children and five of her grandchildren. Mary Anderson, Alicia Bendall’s granddaughter, continues this important tradition of harp playing as principal harpist with Orchestra Victoria. Walter Barker was born in 1864 in Yorkshire. He won his first prize at an eisteddfod at the age of nine before entering the Royal Academy of Music (RAM) in London in 1879 at the age of 14. He was recommended for entry into RAM by Welshman and royal harpist John Thomas but also studied organ, violin and piano. A thumb accident led him to focus his studies on the harp and in 1880 he won a Bronze Medal in the RAM competitions before graduating as an Associate a few years later in 1883. Barker first visited Australia while on tour with singers Madame Patey and Ada Crossley performing in Bendigo in 1890. He immigrated to Australia in 1895 after a tour with the Trebelli Concert Co. and later also toured with Charles Santley, Mrs Palmer, Antonia Dolores and Armes Beaumont. Walter Barker was the first harp teacher at the University of Melbourne’s new conservatorium working there in 1895 and then from 1916 until 1925. In 1906 Barker performed in Melbourne at a farewell concert arranged for Mrs W.J. Turner who was returning to England. A review of this concert in The Musical Monthly described Barker’s playing as exquisite. A concert program for a performance by Zelman’s Melbourne Symphony Orchestra on 15 December 1917 in the Melbourne Town Hall lists Barker as the harpist. On this occasion he played the beautiful ‘Meditation’ from the Opera ‘Thais’ by Massenet with violinist Imelda Clancy. By 1925 Walter Barker had tragically lost nearly all his eyesight and was forced to retire. Reflecting upon his career, The Australian Musical News wrote of Barker: “No finer harpist has been heard in Australia than Mr Barker, and for years his name was almost inseparable from leading concert platforms”. After he died on 27 September 1933 at his home in Queens Parade, Barker’s widow donated his 1830s Erard harp to the University of Melbourne's Grainger Museum the year the museum opened in 1938. The Barker harp is a double-action pedal harp made by Sebastian and Pierre Erard in London. Barker brought this harp with him when he emigrated from England and loved the instrument so much that he did not want anyone else to play it after his death. Barker’s harp was “the subject of something like worship by the fine musician, especially after the years in which it had been associated with his many successes”.

Title A name given to the resource Dolls used by Mona McBurney for her opera The Dalmatian (c. 1926) Subject The topic of the resource Opera; minatures; stage design; The Dalmatian; Mona McBurney Collection; Multivocal exhibition Old Quad Description An account of the resource The Dalmation was the first opera written by a woman to be performed in Australia. Its libretto was adapted from F. Marion Crawford’s novel, Marietta: A Maid of Venice. Excerpts were performed in late 1910, and the first full performance was given in 1926. As scholar Louise Jenkins has observed, ‘The opera stands as proof of the benefits that can be reaped when society provides equal encouragement, support and opportunity for men and women in their musical endeavours.’ The score of the opera The Dalmatian is held by the Grainger Museum. Conservation treatments on the McBurney Collection, to prepare the objects for display in the exhibition Multivocal (2020-2021), have been generously funded by Julia and Kevin Selby.

Title A name given to the resource Carved box 漆器雕花盒 Description An account of the resource DESCRIPTION: Oblong, hinged lid, on four ball-shaped legs. Inscribed brass plaque on inside lid (see Inscriptions). Currently contains 7 silver-coloured large beads. Inside it is another box, cardboard, also with an inscribed lid. INSCRIPTIONS: On inner lid: "Percy Grainger Hon. Musician Art Club SASKATSEN 1936". On outer lid: "Miss Hedley Yule 1922". Cinnabar lacquer over brass. Size: 4.4 x 10.0 x 8cm. OVERVIEW: The elaborate decoration of lacquerware requires intensive labour to produce. Carved lacquer is the purest form of lacquer art and a uniquely Chinese achievement in lacquer art. The decoration to the lacquerware is carved on built-up layers of thinly applied coats of lacquer into a three-dimensional design. This method of lacquer production reached its greatest flourishing from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century in China. This carved lacquer box depicts a young scholar with his boy attendant paying a visit to a senior scholar. It may relate to the Confucius tale about Confucius visiting Laozi for philosophical discussion on the meaning of life. The tale symbolises eagerness to seek new knowledge.

Title A name given to the resource Pair of Chinese vases 晚清粉彩瓷 Description An account of the resource Chinese ceramic ware is an art form that has been developing for thousands of years and prospered in various forms. Prior to the seventh century, monochrome wares dominated the ceramic production and favoured by the aristocracy class. It is not until the ninth century, multicoloured ceramic ware became popular in China. The increasing trades and importation of foreign pigments in Ming dynasty brought a greater range of colour and tone to Chinese porcelain. More complex patterns and subject matters start to appear the surface of the Chinese porcelain. During this period, craftsmen draw inspiration from folklore engravings and closely related to civilian’s life and work. This pair of Chinese vases is a fine example of the close-to-life subject matter used on porcelain. It provides a lively depiction of people in the vegetable garden.
