Timeline
David Newton Lumsdaine (31 October 1931 – 12 January 2024) was an Australian composer.
He studied at the New South Wales Conservatorium of Music (as it was then known).
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.
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: Mandala I (wind quintet)
1968-9 Episodes (orchestra)
1969: Mandala II (flute, clarinet, percussion, viola, cello)
In 1970 he took a lecturing position at Durham University.
1971: Kangaroo Hunt (piano, percussion)
1973: Meridian (percussion, piano, tape)
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'.
1974: Salvation Creek with Eagle (chamber orchestra)
1975: Dum medium silentium (SATB)
1975: Sunflower (chamber orchestra)
1975: A Little Dance of Hagoromo (orchestra)
1977: Hagoromo (large orchestra)
1978: Mandala III (solo piano, flute, clarinet, viola, cello, bell)
David Lumsdaine died on 12 January 2023, at the age of 92.
In 1981 he took a post as senior lecturer at King's College London.
He is published by The University of York Music Press and Universal Edition.
1982: Shoalhaven (orchestra)
1983: Mandala IV (string quartet)
1985: Bagatelles (flute, clarinet, piano, violin, viola, cello)
1985: Where the lilies grow (8 voices)
1986: Empty Sky – Mootwingee (flute, trombone/horn, cello, 2 percussionists, 2 pianos)
1988: A Dance and a Hymn for Alexander Maconochie (flute, clarinet, percussion, mandolin, guitar, violin, double bass)
The chamber works include a series of works entitled 'Mandala', a cello concerto, several song cycles and an orchestral fifth 'Mandala' (1989), a homage to Australian landscapes and soundscapes.
1989: Round Dance (sitar, tabla, flute, cello, keyboard)
1990: Sine nomine (alto saxophone/bass clarinet, percussion)
1991: The Crane (flute, percussion, harp, synthesizer)
1993: Rain Drums (4 percussionists)
1994: Kali Dances (flute, oboe, clarinet, trumpet, tuba, vibraphone, piano, violin, viola, cello, double bass)
Shortly after composing his dense and energetic 'Kali Dances' for ensemble in 1996, Lumsdaine retired from composition.
