Title A name given to the resource Cloak worn by Nellie Melba as Elsa in Lohengrin, c.1891 Subject The topic of the resource Objects of Fame: Nellie Melba and Percy Grainger Description An account of the resource This ‘cloak of angels’ was worn by Melba to perform before Tsar Alexander III in St Petersburg in 1891. Together with Polish opera singers Jean and Edouard de Reszke, she had been commanded by the Tsar to perform in several operas at his Imperial Theatre. During the journey there, customs officials stopped the train at the Russian border and searched the passengers’ luggage. To Melba’s dismay, the cloak was thrown into the snow; she rushed outside, desperately trying to explain its importance. After the performance, the Tsarina admired the costume, stroking it and saying 'How perfectly lovely this is!'

Title A name given to the resource Karlheinz Stockhausen: Telemusik/Mixtur, 1969, LP record, Deutsche Grammophon, Germany Subject The topic of the resource Electronic music Description An account of the resource The cover of the LP "Karlheinz Stockhausen: Telemusik/Mixtur", published in 1969 by Deutsche Grammophon, Germany. German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen (1928–2007), described as the ‘most controversial musical innovator of our time’, has influenced many musicians, inside and outside of the avant-garde music scene. Rock musicians including Frank Zappa, Peter Townshend, Jerry Garcia and Björk, and Jazz musicians including Miles Davis, George Russell, Anthony Braxton and Charles Mingus, all name Stockhausen as a major influence. The Beatles included a portrait of Stockhausen on the front cover of their album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, in 1967. Stockhausen visited Australia for ten days in April 1970. He gave concert-lectures on electronic music around the country, including three programs in Wilson Hall, at the University of Melbourne. Delivered through a battery of speakers, Stockhausen’s electronic music ‘transformed Wilson Hall into a vast and sometimes terrifying acoustic cave’, according to a local newspaper. Performances included his Telemusik (1966). The Grainger Centre electronic music enthusiasts, including Keith Humble, Ian Bonighton and Agnes Dodds, helped set up Wilson Hall with the electronic equipment. Stockhausen was apparently very demanding, and Wilson Hall was not the ideal venue, with not enough powerpoints for all the equipment.

Title A name given to the resource Percy Grainger, Drawing by Ernest Thesiger, 1903 Subject The topic of the resource Objects of Fame: Nellie Melba and Percy Grainger Description An account of the resource Ernest Thesiger was one of the closest of the many artist and musician friends that Grainger made, especially in the first decades of his career. Thesiger was an aspiring painter when he made this drawing, and later became a stage and film actor. Thesiger introduced Grainger to banker William Gair Rathbone, who became a father-figure for the young Australian while he was in London. Thesiger also introduced Grainger to John Singer Sargent, who played a crucial role in setting Grainger up as a society pianist. Grainger said of Rathbone and Sargent that they were his ’“good angels” during these challenging London years’.
