Title A name given to the resource Silk programme for a Royal Command Performance, Royal Opera, Covent Garden, London, 11 May 1914 Subject The topic of the resource Objects of Fame: Nellie Melba and Percy Grainger Description An account of the resource This performance at Covent Garden was held less than a month before Melba sailed for Australia to visit her ailing father. It was one of the last times that she sang in London prior to the First World War, during which Covent Garden was closed. At the end of the war, Melba was summoned from Australia by King George V to reopen the opera house on 12 May 1919.

Mayland & Son, New York, USA (instrument makers) Metal marimba, early twentieth century Description An account of the resource Grainger used this marimba for performances of his <em>Tribute to Foster</em>, exploiting the design innovation that enabled single notes and resonators to be removed from the instrument for playing individually. Grainger wrote instructions, such as ‘violin II, desk I on A# key’, on the side of many resonators, indicating which bar should be used by which string desk in the orchestra. The Rowland H. Mayland Company manufactured a wide variety of musical bells and novelties, including xylophones, pitched sleighbells, and marimbaphones.

Title A name given to the resource Kangaroo pouch tone-tool Subject The topic of the resource Free Music Description An account of the resource Steel, brass, PVC pipe, paper roll, sewing machine belt, electronics. This machine demonstrates the method used by Grainger and Cross to control oscillators through the use of connected ‘tone arms’ and cut paper ‘scores’. Whereas Grainger and Cross hand-turned their eight oscillator tone-tool, this scaled-down version is operated by a hand crank that enables the looping score to be played in either direction. Here, a digital oscillator created using the Arduino electronics platform and the Mozzi software library is controlled using two paper rolls in the shape of Grainger’s ‘Hills and Dales’ scores. One roll controls the pitch of the oscillator while the other controls the volume level.

Title A name given to the resource Reed box tone-tool Subject The topic of the resource Free Music Description An account of the resource Steel, brass, wood, accordion reeds, blower fans, linear bearings. In their original Reed box experiments, Grainger and Cross approximated the effect of gliding musical pitches by using closely-spaced microtones. They detuned harmonium reeds to microtonal intervals, using tape to weight the reeds. They then used a wooden waveform on rollerskates to control the motion of air from a vacuum cleaner blowing through the reeds. Cross later introduced electronic oscillators to create smoother gliding tones. This scaled-down version uses accordion reeds, also detuned by tape. Blower fans take the place of the vacuum cleaner and linear bearings streamline the design.

Title A name given to the resource Electric eye tone-tool Subject The topic of the resource Free Music Description An account of the resource Steel, PVC pipe, plastic sheet, globes, ink, electronics, speakers. One of Grainger and Cross’s last experiments before Grainger’s death in 1961 was an attempt to create a more immediate and accurate form of Free Music through the use of hand-drawn waveforms and light-sensitive circuits. This experiment used photocells (light-dependent resistors) rather than paper rolls and tone arms to translate pitch and volume markings, painted on plastic sheet, into sound. The original machine, never fully completed, was eventually disassembled after Grainger’s death. This reinterpretation also uses light-dependent resistors but connects them to digital Teensy microcontrollers loaded with the Mozzi software library. The addition of the hand crank enables the looped ‘score’ to be played forwards and backwards.
