Timeline

1931

David Newton Lumsdaine (31 October 1931 – 12 January 2024) was an Australian composer.

David Newton Lumsdaine was born on 31 October 1931.

He studied at the New South Wales Conservatorium of Music (as it was then known).

1952

He moved to England in 1952 and for a while shared a flat with fellow expatriate, the poet Peter Porter, with whom he collaborated on several projects including the cantata Annotations of Auschwitz (1964).

In London he studied composition at the Royal Academy of Music with Lennox Berkeley.

1964

Lumsdaine disowned all works he composed before Annotations of Auschwitz (1964).

His first acknowledged works were composed using a variety of pitch and rhythm techniques associated with serialism – techniques such as pitch rotation or permutation, and isorhythmic structures linking pitch and duration together.

Central to all of Lumsdaine's work is the notion of 'ground', a term borrowed from Baroque musical terminology (specifically Purcell).

1968-9 Episodes (orchestra)

1974

The orchestral works 'Salvation Creek with Eagle' and 'Hagoromo' (1974 and 1977 respectively) continue and develop Lumsdaine's personal take on Australian nature.

Lumsdaine's output also included piano works – notably the Bach-inspired 'Ruhe Sanfte, Sanfte Ruh' (1974) – and a considerable number of pieces involving electronics, such as the tape montage/re-composition of events from the Durham Miners Gala 'Big Meeting'.
