The performance was unusual, it suggests, because modern audiences were unaccustomed to hearing music performed without the backing of a harmonic keyboard or orchestra. The wording of the songs are noted to be medieval religious poems.

Title A name given to the resource Medievalism at the Foundations Description An account of the resource This Collection illustrates how medievalism has always existed ‘in plain view’ in Australian public life, as a conspicuous cultural memory ghosting Australia’s modernity. It focuses on discourses about, debates over, and changing interpretations of i) Australia’s medievalist political and religious institutions and rituals, ii) its architecture, and iii) its civic environment. In this Collection are items relating to all three of these key areas. Firstly, you will find items that point to the medieval influences and inflections that still permeate and influence our political, legal and religious institutions and traditions. Secondly, you will find numerous examples of neo-gothic and neo-romanesque architecture, and some cases where architectural features are known to have been modelled on specific medieval buildings. Thirdly, you will find items relating to the ways in which medievalism is incorporated into our civic environments and expressed through statues, monuments and war memorials.

He describes the Gothic design of the architecture as a particularly English style dating from the period 1370-1550, characterised by “a perpendicularity given it by the extensions of the chief mullions in the windows on to the arches and the addition of horizontal bars or transoms to divide the long lights”. The style is also notable, the article suggests, for its “great window spaces”. In the second half of the article, the author likens the intricate stonework of the 25 masons employed to work on the cathedral to that of guild journeymen building village cathedrals in the middle ages.

The name evokes the legends of the Quest for the Holy Grail, and this medieval association is enhanced by the illustrations on the bottle labels. The label features a chalice, or goblet/footed cup, surrounded by a floral design. A chalice is often depicted as the vessel of the Holy Grail, although during the medieval period it was also sometimes depicted as a platter. The Quest for the Holy Grail was a popular part of the legendary Arthurian cycle involving Lancelot and/or Galahad during the medieval period, particularly in the work of Chr&eacute;tien de Troyes and Wolfram von Eschenbach. Now, however, the Quest is often more readily associated with the Knights Templar, for example in the 1989 film <em>Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade</em>.</p> <p>Chalice Bridge Estate can be found at <a href="http://chalicebridge.com.au/" target="_blank">http://chalicebridge.com.au/</a></p> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource <p>Designer: Daniel McKeating, Studio Lost &amp; Found, Western Australia (<a href="http://www.studiolostandfound.com/" target="_blank">http://www.studiolostandfound.com/</a>)</p> Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Chalice Bridge Estate: <a href="http://chalicebridge.com.au/" target="_blank">http://www.chalicebridge.com.au/</a> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2011 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Chalice Bridge Estate Limited, Margaret River, Western Australia (<a href="http://chalicebridge.com.au/" target="_blank">http://www.chalicebridge.com.au/</a>) Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Wine bottle label ‘The Chalice’ Arthurian legend beverage chalice Chalice Bridge Estate Chrétien de Troyes Holy Grail King Arthur knight label legend mantle Margaret River medieval imagery Military Order Order of the Temple quest templar knights vessel WA Western Australia wine Wolfram von Eschenbach. https://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/files/original/874e7558c74137e4246a85a3ba6faafd.jpg 39cd48fb59ba48899ad8750e9927f736 Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

Description An account of the resource <p>&lsquo;The Quest&rsquo; is a wine range produced by Chalice Bridge Estate winery in Margaret River, Western Australia. The name evokes the Arthurian legend of the Quest for the Holy Grail, and this medieval association is enhanced by the elaborately illustrated Templar Knights that feature on the five individualised labels contained within the series. The Knights Templar formed what was probably the most powerful and well-known of the Christian military orders in the medieval period. The order was endorsed by the Catholic Church in the early twelfth century and was particularly active during the Crusades, before it was forcefully disbanded in the early fourteenth century. The immense power of the Order at its height and speculation about it&rsquo;s suppression fuelled rumours that members of the Order had discovered (and re-located) the Holy Grail. Each of &lsquo;The Quest&rsquo; wine labels depicts a knight dressed in the distinctive outfit of the Knights Templar &ndash; the red Cross of St George on the breast of a white tunics &ndash; complete with chainmail, a sword and a shield that also features the red cross. Each of the knights strikes a different pose; three are engaged in combat and two are resting.</p> <p>The Chalice Bridge Estate can be found at <a href="http://chalicebridge.com.au/" target="_blank">http://chalicebridge.com.au/</a></p> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource <p>Designer: Daniel McKeating, Studio Lost &amp; Found, Western Australia: <a href="http://www.studiolostandfound.com" target="_blank">http://www.studiolostandfound.com</a></p> <p>Illustrator: Skye Ogden - Tokyo, Japan: <a href="http://www.skyeogden.com" target="_blank">http://www.skyeogden.com</a>.</p> Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Chalice Bridge Estate: <a href="http://www.chalicebridge.com.au/" target="_blank">http://www.chalicebridge.com.au/</a> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2011 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Chalice Bridge Estate Limited, Margaret River, Western Australia (<a href="http://www.chalicebridge.com.au/" target="_blank">http://www.chalicebridge.com.au/</a>) Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Wine bottle labels ‘The Quest’ Arthurian legend beverage chainmail Chalice Bridge Estate Holy Grail knight label Margaret River medieval imagery Military Order Order of the Temple shield St George cross sword templar knights WA Western Australia wine https://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/files/original/smh-1954-frid-9-july-univ-qland-gargoyles-stone_756a88e283.pdf 1bae8dd68c5acc0dcf6a254e1ec7ac0d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Subject The topic of the resource Democracy, feudalism, inequality, natural law, merit, poem, privilege, wealth, workers rights Description An account of the resource This poem provides a vigorous denunciation of “the English caste system” and “celebrates the decay of feudalism,” at least in the Australian rural locale (Louise D'Arcens, Old Songs in the Timeless Land: Medievalism in Australian Literature 1840-1910, Turnhout: Brepols, 2011, p. 143). It praises “muscle and brain” (merit) while condemning the undeserving ruling classes, who it refers to as “Pampered idlers”. The point of the exercise is demonstrated in the lines: “King, prince and lord are a useless load and must by that law abide! / No Parliament can alter that fact, / Or the march of mankind stay.” The law that this section of the poem acknowledges is simply the law of Nature, for no law of man can usurp natural law. Underpinning everything else is the firm belief that the ‘fruits of the earth’ (its wealth and resources) are made not just for a select and powerful minority, but for everyone equally. The inescapable conclusion of the poem is that with the removal of the medieval ‘baggage’ of the past, i.e. feudalism, nostalgia, overlordship and the monarchy, the earth will return to an extended period of serenity and harmony under the sure-handed guidance of “the People”.

Set in a Welsh village, ‘The Wind of Heaven’ is about a boy named Gwyn who works a miracle in a village devastated by cholera. He brings back to life a dead soldier and new hope to the soldier’s widow and the whole town. Jerome K. Jerome’s play about a mysterious Stranger is ‘the saint over-done’. The final play, ‘The Marvellous History of Saint Bernard’, divides its stage into heaven, earth and hell. This picture ‘was as real to the medieval mind as the Harbour Bridge is to us’. The author notes that it is illegal to depict the Deity on stage in England so Mary was substituted for God in the latter play.

Title A name given to the resource &lsquo;The Sagamen&rsquo;, <em>The Bulletin</em>, 2 May 1907 Subject The topic of the resource armour, battle-axe, conquest, dragon ship, Francis William Ophel (1871-1912), Freya, heroism, Iceland, Norns, Odin, paganism, runes, sagas, shields, Skaldic tales, spells, swords, Thor, Valhalla, Valkyrie, Vikings, violence, warriors. Description An account of the resource &lsquo;Prospect Good&rsquo; was the nom de plume of the gold prospector, fossicker, and bush poet, Francis William Ophel. This poem, &lsquo;The Sagamen,&rsquo; is filled with vivid imagery drawn in the style of Old Icelandic sagas (Louise D&rsquo;Arcens, <em>Old Songs in the Timeless Land: Medievalism in Australian Literature 1840-1910</em>, Turnhout, Brepols, 2011, p.142). According to Ophel&rsquo;s logic, the content of these Skaldic tales is no different from speeches and editorials designed to legitimize nineteenth-century imperial narratives; they cleverly subvert truth and disguise real-life events under a nuanced and textured layer of bravado and heroic deeds where violence is praised and overvalued. In contrast, Ophel&rsquo;s is likely suggesting here that there is nothing glorious about slaughter, plunder, theft and rapine, and the over reliance on strong-arm tactics. Presumably the political rationale for this strategy is formed along the lines of: &lsquo;they&rsquo; did it &lsquo;back then,&rsquo; so it must be alright for &lsquo;us&rsquo; to emulate &lsquo;now&rsquo;; but Ophel, who realises that this reasoning is mendacious, states plainly and firmly in The Sagamen&rsquo;s final couplet: &ldquo;The naked truth is hidden / Beneath a web of words".
