He goes on to discuss the shift that took place in the nineteenth century to more homogeneous and exclusive programmes. This paper investigates the ways in which the miscellany principle might be observed in community concert programmes in a colonial city. This study focuses on Newcastle, NSW, during a period of rapid immigration - the 1870s. Through archival research, community concert programmes, newspaper reports and reviews from 1870 to 1879 are analyzed from the perspective of programme structure, repertoire, performers and function. In particular, there is a focus on the use of Weber's miscellany concept and its potential for building community through inclusivity. This was important for a transplanted community whose origins were a class-structured society that linked taste in music to social standing. This paper will show how, by using the older framework of miscellany and its inherent potential for compromise, collegiality and collaboration, the community could promote itself as thriving, respectable and democratic.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:54:33 AEDT ]]> Environmentalism and civilizational development in the colonial British histories of the Indian Archipelago (1783-1820) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18360 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:40 AEDT ]]> Steamship Stewards: Encountering Asia on the High Seas https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44874 Mon 24 Oct 2022 11:51:40 AEDT ]]> From the margins: madness and history in Australia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49144 Fri 05 May 2023 12:07:50 AEST ]]>
