1I was unable to find any information about the ANU Chamber Music Society.
2After considerable reading, I've decided that this concert was probably in Orientation Week of 1972. Given several of the personnel mentioned, it could also have been 1973/4/5, but I'm going for 1972. The following comment, in Sue Baldwin's second Oyez of 1972, suggests that it was the first SCUNA concert with newly-appointed conductor Brian Hingerty:
For those of you who weren't there, the Oro. week concert was a howling success - the hits of the evening being the all-new revised Alle Psallite (thank you George) and what else but Sideways. Debutant(e) Brian emerged from his baptism of fire unscathed.
[Emphasis mine.] Brian became conductor right at the end of 1971.
Alle Psallite doesn't appear on the programme, but it could have been sung as a processional or an encore.
3I base the location of the concert on what Alison Whish, who joined SCUNA in 1972, wrote in the Memory Book created at the SCUNA 40th Anniversary Reunion in 2003:
George Garnsey - being a very good university chaplain, found me in the audience of my first SCUNA Concert - Orientation Week Concert at lunchtime in the 'Old' Union Building and did a wonderful thing in recognising my name & then asking whether I came from Young. He then revealed his childhood chapter living in the rectory in Young - across the road from my grandparents. This prompted me to go on to attend the evening Orientation Week Concert at Bruce Hall.
4I'm pretty sure Rameali is a misreading of Rameau.
