Title A name given to the resource Bell-Field Description An account of the resource Federation Handbells, on loan from Museums Victoria, in a display created by postgraduate students from the Melbourne School of Design, for the exhibition How it plays: Innovations in percussion, 2019. The postgraduate students describe their work:<br /> <blockquote> <p><em>Bell-Field</em> builds upon the concept of the soundscape, creating an atmosphere that welcomes and captivates. Melbourne School of Design (MSD) Master of Architecture students from Studio 18 channeled these ideas to create a field where each of the 24 Federation Handbells would sit on top of a bespoke stand designed by the group. Surrounded by the handbells on display, visitors are invited to strike the handbells as they move through the space. This interaction causes sand to fall through an hourglass below, pairing each ring of a handbell with a visual display.</p> <p>In the design of each stand, students leveraged their knowledge of digital fabrication techniques and the facilities available at the Fabrication Lab within the MSD. Every component was fabricated and assembled in-house by the group. A slim black steel frame houses a bronze tinted glass cylinder filled with coloured sand which corresponds the note with its respective Boomwhacker colour. The stand rests within a geometric plywood box which opens to store the components of the stand when it is dissembled. The geometric profile is derived from a radial tessellation stemming from the center of the room. At the bottom lies a concrete base of similar profile, providing stability to the installation. The handbell completes the stand by holding the pivoting hourglass in place.</p> </blockquote> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Bell-Field display stands created by students of Studio 18, Melbourne School of Design, University of Melbourne, 2019.

This latter instrument, described as ‘the only instrument of its kind in the world’, is an example of the innovations that were happening in tuned percussion in this period. The actual metallophone — or one very much like it — is on display in the exhibition. You can see the metallophone being reconstructed for display in the video ‘Percy Grainger’s Tuneful Percussion’, a segment of which can be seen here: <br /><br /><a title="Assembling the Lynch Family metallophone" href="https://vimeo.com/318105947" target="_blank"><br /></a> <iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/318105947" frameborder="0" width="640" height="360"></iframe> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1920s https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/2fa4a36cbd50cbbe4c25367be44994fc.jpg 4ce5375fd7b2008b26493e7e50d94847 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 Box percussion instruments created for the Australian Percussion Ensemble, c.1974 Description An account of the resource Box percussion instruments created by John Seal were used by each APE member in a variety of performances. For the performance of John Seal’s Structures at the Melbourne International Festival of Organ and Harpsichord at St Peter’s Church, East Melbourne, in 1974, the box percussion instruments were arranged in a symbolic cross formation. In Structures, performers are free to choose instrumentation, register and tempi. For the concert at St Peter’s Church, Structures was performed as a fugue in the manner of American composer Steve Reich, with each percussion player in the ensemble equipped with headphones delivering a click-track to maintain the musical structure.

Title A name given to the resource Two metallophones, c.1910 Description An account of the resource Percy Grainger visited the musical halls of London in the decade before World War I, experiencing for the first time the sounds of the mallet percussion instruments used in jazz. To enrich his knowledge of these instruments, Grainger developed an arrangement with the London-based instrument making company Hawkes & Son. He would borrow different instruments, including newly developed forms of metal glockenspiels (metallophones), taking them home to experiment with their sound and technical characteristics. Grainger’s first composition that featured tuned percussion, Molly on the Shore, 1911, utilised a Hawkes & Son resonaphone.

Deagan to Percy Grainger, Chicago, 19 October 1916 Description An account of the resource Grainger enjoyed ‘liberty of the factory’ of J.C. Deagan, as he worked closely with the instrument maker to develop instruments specific to the new orchestral timbres he was seeking to create. In this letter, Deagan writes to Grainger regarding the latter’s search for ‘low tones’ to enrich the tuned percussion ensemble. Grainger’s requests for lower sounding marimbas never really materialized but his desire to include these bass extensions foretells the age of the five octave marimbas that are popular today.
