# The Choirmaster's Manual/Chapter 4

CHAPTER IV
ON THE ATTACK
Good attack is of vital importance. To accomplish a good attack, a slight, sharp inward movement of the abdomen is necessary. Practise notes of scale on "la." The ​advantage of "la" over "ah" as usually taught for attack is, that the consonant sends the tone forward with the tongue; the disadvantage is, that the consonant often deceives. The best method is to practise first on "la," then on the vowel-sound alone.
Exercise 5.
Excerise 6.
Exercise 7.
Exercise 8.
(Keep tongue as flat as possible, and mouth open for "le" just as wide as for "la." Most boys want to close it. The higher up the scale, the more open the mouth. ​All consonants must be made by tongue or lips.
DON'T MOVE THE JAW. Fix the eyes on some spot in the room during vocalizing; it helps to keep head and jaws still.)
In Exs. 6 and 8, take breath between each attack. In taking breath the vocal cords must be open, and in attacking the note brought sharply together again.

I have a saintly voice, the people say;  With Elder Blank I send the music winging—  I smile and compliment him on his singing— By God, I'd rather hear a jackass bray.  I nod and smile to all the pious sisters—  I wish their rears were stung with seven blisters. That youthful minister, so straight and slim— I'd trade my soul for one long night with him.

​Harker, Hon. George, a well-known Victorian politician, was born at Pateley Bridge, Nidderdale, Yorkshire, in 1816. After education at local schools, he was at the age of thirteen apprenticed to a chemist at Harrogate. On the termination of his apprenticeship he was for some time dispensing assistant to a surgeon at Leeds, and subsequently carried on business as a chemist at Prescot, near Liverpool, where he was treasurer of the local Anti-Corn Law League. He married early in 1845, and left England for Victoria at the end of that year, arriving in Feb. 1846. He bought property on the Yarra which he farmed until 1850, when he started as a grain and produce merchant in Melbourne. In 1856 Mr. Harker retired from business, and was returned to the Victorian Legislative Assembly for Collingwood. He was Treasurer in the second O'Shanassy Ministry from March 1858 to Oct. 1859, when he resigned with his colleagues. At the general election which took place just previously, he was defeated at Collingwood, but was returned for Maldon. Quickly resigning his seat for the latter constituency, he revisited England, where he remained for two years. On his return he was re-elected for Collingwood, which he represented intermittently during the rest of his public career. Mr. Harker held many important public positions and died on April 5th, 1879.

​Harper, Andrew, Professor of Hebrew, Ormond College, Melbourne, Victoria, was educated at the Scotch College, Melbourne, from which he proceeded to the Melbourne University. He graduated B.A. in 1867, and M.A. in 1878. He proceeded to Edinburgh, where he qualified himself as a Presbyterian clergyman. Conscientious scruples preventing him from being ordained, he entered the Presbyterian Ladies' College in Melbourne as a master, and rose to the position of head master. Meantime, devoting himself specially to the study of Oriental languages, he became the recognised authority in the colony of Victoria in that department, and in 1889 was appointed Professor of Hebrew at Ormond College. He is a brother of Mr. Robert Harper, member of the Legislative Assembly of Victoria.

​Harper, Right Rev. Henry John Chitty, D.D., formerly Bishop of Christchurch and Primate of New Zealand, is the son of the late Tristram Harper, of Gosport, where he was born in 1807. He was educated at Hyde Abbey School, Winchester, and Queen's College, Oxford, where he graduated B.A. in 1826, M.A. in 1840, and was Michel Fellow, being made D.D. in 1856. He was ordained deacon by the Bishop of Rochester in 1831, and priest by the Bishop of Lincoln in 1832. From 1828 to 1836 he was private tutor at Eton, and from 1832 to 1840 was "conduct," or chaplain, of that college. In 1840 he became vicar of Stratfield-Mortimer, Berks, and remained there until 1856, in the August of which year he was consecrated first Bishop of Christchurch, N.Z., by Archbishop Sumner, of Canterbury, and Bishops Wilberforce, of Oxford, and Gilbert, of Gloucester, arriving in New Zealand in December. In 1869, upon the resignation of Bishop Selwyn, Bishop Harper was elected by the General Synod Primate of New ​Zealand. In 1889 he resigned the bishopric, and Archdeacon Churchill Julius, of Ballarat, was elected to succeed him. Bishop Harper is warden of Christ College, and governor of Canterbury College.

​Harpur, Charles, one of the best-known poets of Australia, was born at Windsor, on the Hawkesbury river, in New South Wales, in 1812. He published a small collection of sonnets, and some years afterwards a volume of miscellaneous poems. In 1850 he married Mary, eldest daughter of Mr. E. Doyle, of Jerey's Plains. In 1858 he was appointed Gold Commissioner at Araluen, but the office was abolished in 1866. A year afterwards his son was accidentally shot, and he never recovered the shock, dying on June 10th, 1868.

Layout 2
​Hare, Charles Simeon, was born in America in 1808, and arrived in South Australia in Sept. 1836, with Sir John Morphett, to whom he acted as private secretary, and was subsequently employed by the South Australian Company. He was a vigorous opponent of State aid to religion and transportation, and sat in the Mixed Legislative Council for West Torrens from July 1851 to June 1854, when he resigned. In Jan. 1855 he was appointed a Commissioner for effectuating the wishes of Parliament in relation to the Adelaide and Gawler Railway Bill. In March 1857 he was elected to the first Legislative Assembly for Yatala, but resigned in the following May, on being appointed Superintendent of the Stockade. Mr. Hare became Manager of Railways in succession to Mr. Drake, in July 1860, but was removed from office in May 1865, in consequence of an accident to a train carrying the Governor and Ministry, for which a Commission of Inquiry held him culpable. After an experience of several years as a planter in Fiji, Mr. Hare returned to South Australia and managed a mine near Moonta. In 1875 he was an unsuccessful candidate for the representation of the latter district in the Assembly, his defeat being due to his opposition to the men's demands during the great Moonta strike, in 1874. Mr. Hare met with better success in 1878, and represented the district till 1880, when he resigned and revisited England, returning to South Australia in the following year. He died on July 22nd, 1882.
# The Dictionary of Australasian Biography/Harris, Rev. Richard Deodatus Poulett

Layout 2
​Harris, Rev. Richard Deodatus Poulett, son of Captain Charles Poulett Harris, of the 60th Rifles, was born at Cape Breton Island on Oct. 26th, 1817. The family traces descent in a direct line from Sir Amias Poulett, of Queen Elizabeth's time. Mr. Harris was educated by his father, and at Manchester Free Grammar School, and afterwards at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated as Twenty-fourth Wrangler in 1843. He was Principal of the Huddersfield College in 1844; took orders in 1846, and was classical master of Blackheath Proprietary School in 1849. In 1856, having received the appointment of Rector of the High School of Hobart Town, Mr. Harris went to Tasmania. During his Rectorship of the High School, which lasted twenty-eight years, he was a most successful head master, and trained a number of the most prominent Tasmanian public men. At the suggestion of Mr. Harris, the Tasmanian Parliament in 1858 passed an Act establishing a system of examinations on the plan of the Oxford and Cambridge local examinations, and founding two annual scholarships for Tasmanian youths of £200 per annum, tenable at any of the universities of the United Kingdom. The Tasmanian Council of Education and Scholarship Act had a most important effect in raising the standard of education in the colony. Mr. Harris was one of the original members of the Council of Education appointed by the Government in 1859. He remained a member until the absorption of the Council in the new Tasmanian University. He had long been a warm advocate of the establishment of a university in the colony, and on its foundation in 1890 he was unanimously elected first Warden of the Senate. Mr. Harris has a distinguished Masonic record. He has twice been First Principal of the Royal Arch Chapter in Tasmania. In June 1880 he was appointed District Master for Tasmania. In 1890, on the establishment of a Grand Lodge of Tasmania, Mr. Harris was installed first Grand Master, the Grand Masters of other colonies—Lord Carrington, Lord Kintore, Chief Justice Way, and other distinguished Masons—coming to Hobart to take part in his installation. In 1885 Mr. Harris resigned the Rectorship of the High School, and has since resided at Peppermint Bay, Dentrecasteaux Channel.
# The Dictionary of Australasian Biography/Hart, Hon. Frederic Hamilton

Layout 2
​Hart, Hon. Frederic Hamilton, M.L.C., was born at Madras, on March 26th, 1836, and received his education in the Australian colonies. He first came to Sydney in 1843 with his father, the late William Hamilton Hart, who was superintendent of the Bank of Australasia, and who, as a member of Sir Charles Hotham's Secret Commission in 1854, did immense service in reconstituting the disordered finances of Victoria. The father and son revisited England in 1849, returning to Australia in 1853, when they took up their residence in Melbourne, and the former established the firm of Bright Brothers & Co., the son acting as junior clerk. In 1862 he was sent to open a branch of the firm in Queensland, arriving in Brisbane in September of that year. In 1881 the designation of the firm of which Mr. Hart is still the resident managing partner in Queensland was altered to Gibbs, Bright & Co. He was appointed a member of the Marine Board or Queensland in 1869, and subsequently vice-chairman. In 1872 he took an active part in the formation of the Queensland National Bank, and was elected director at the first meeting of shareholders and became first chairman of the Board, a position he has held continuously ever since. In July 1872 he was summoned to the Legislative Council.
# The Dictionary of Australasian Biography/Hargraves, Edward Hammond

Layout 2
​Hargraves, Edward Hammond, was born at Gosport, England, on Oct. 7th, 1816, and educated at Brighton Grammar School, and afterwards at Lewes. He emigrated to New South Wales in 1832, and in the next year explored Torres Straits in search of bêche de mer and tortoise-shell. Returning to Sydney in 1834, Mr. Hargraves was engaged in pastoral pursuits till 1849, when he went to California, where he was struck with the similarity of the geological formation of the gold areas to that of Bathurst, N.S.W. On his return to that colony, in 1851, he justified his impressions by discovering gold at Lewis Ponds Creek, near Bathurst, on Feb. 12th of that year. Though Count Strzelecki and the Rev. W. B. Clarke had preceded him in the discovery, and recent evidence tends to show that to others belonged the credit of the actual find in Feb. 1851, Mr. Hargraves was the first to make the existence of gold in quantity known to the world at large, and was thus the recipient of the main honours and rewards offered by the Colonial Governments for the discovery of the precious metal. In 1853 he visited England, and was presented to the Queen as the discoverer of gold in Australia. In the same year the Parliament of New South Wales voted him £10,000, that of Victoria £2381 in 1855, and the Parliament of New South Wales a pension of £250 in 1877. He at one time visited Western Australia, at the request of the Government, to search for the precious metal there, but the experiment did not prove a success. He ​died on Oct. 30th, 1891. Just about the time of his death other claimants to the honour of having found the first gold sprang up, and the New South Wales Assembly appointed a select committee to inquire into the claims of William and James Toms and J. H. A. Lister as the first discoverers of gold in Australia. The report stated that although E. H. Hargraves was entitled to the credit of having taught the claimants, the Tomses and Lister, the use of the dish and cradle and other proper methods of searching for gold, the committee were satisfied that the Tomses and Lister were undoubtedly the first discoverers of payable gold. These men, after persistent search under great difficulties, unearthed four ounces of the precious metal in April, 1851. This was handed to Hargraves, who thus obtained a reward of £10,000 from the New South Wales Government, upwards of £2,300 from the Victorian Government, and a pension of £250 a year as the first discoverer. Hargraves, it is stated, had abandoned the search for gold when the four ounces was handed to him. Considering the great impulse the discovery gave to the progress of the colony, the claims of the Tomses and Lister were, it was urged, worthy of favourable consideration. Lister died subsequently to the appointment of the committee, but left a written statement of facts.

​Hart, Hon. John, C.M.G., sometime Premier of South Australia, was born in 1809, and went to sea, ultimately becoming a captain in the merchant service. In 1835, the year before South Australia ​was founded, he established a whaling station at Encounter Bay, and subsequently traded between South Australia, Van Diemen's Land, and England. In 1846 he abandoned the sea, and settled at Port Adelaide, where he started flour mills. He was returned to the first Legislative Assembly, in 1857, for Port Adelaide, and sat for that constituency till 1859, and again, from 1862 to 1866, when he resigned. He was member for Light from 1868 to 1870, and for the Burra from that year until his death in 1873. He was Treasurer in Mr. Baker's Ministry from August to Sept. 1857, and In the Hanson Government from September of that year to June 1858. He was Chief Secretary in the Dutton Ministry for a few days in July 1863, and Treasurer in the first and second Ayers and first Blyth Ministries from that date till March 1865. Mr. Hart was three times Premier of the colony—viz., from Oct. 1865 to March 1866, from Sept. to Oct. 1868, and from May 1870 to Nov. 1871; on the two first occasions with the office of Chief Secretary, and on the last with that of Treasurer. Mr. Hart, who was created C.M.G., fell down dead whilst attempting to address a meeting of the Marine Insurance Company in Adelaide on Jan. 28th, 1873.

A NIGHTMARE
I dreamed that I was dead. The years went by:
The world remembered gratefully that I
Had lived and written, although other names
Once hailed with homage, had in turn to die.
Out of my grave a giant beech upgrew.
Its roots transpierced my body, through and through.
My substance fed its growth. From many lands
Men came in troops that noble tree to view.
'Twas sacred to my memory and fame—
But Julian Hawthorne's wittol daughter came
And with untidy finger daubed upon
Its bark a reeking record of her name.
