I will see what I have in my Kitty Parker folders. I've recently been performing her Six Chinese Songs with soprano Sara Macliver. Real gems, worthy of wider recognition.

Incidentally, may I offer my congratulations on your wonderful Kitty Parker disc - I absolutely love it.
cheers,
Daniel

Hi,
Does anyone have a copy of Aquarelle : piano solo by William Lovelock they would be willing to share with me?
It’s Out of Print and very few libraries have copies. Most in Australia and none in the US so impossible to use ILL.
Thanks

Just curious, should William Lovelock British, even though he spent a large part of his life in Australia. (Um, what about Rachmaninoff, who moved to America as early as in 1918 )

As Lovelock died in 1986, you will have issues over copyright in trying to obtain a copy. It was published by Chappell in Sydney in 1973, although you can find the odd copy in some British Libraries, the British Library being the key one beyond Australian libraries. But doubt any will allow copies. Best bet is to check 2nd hand sites to see if a copy might arise you can purchase. Sites like ABE Books or Sheet music warehouse cover a lot of British stuff.

Many composers emigrated at different points in their careers, and can be probably categorised under multiple geographies. I would argue that Rachmaninov's style was almost all drawn from his Russian heritage .
Others like Lovelock, Baynton and co who moved earlier in their lives may have had a more substantial career in their new countries. I just re-notated a score by Scottish born James BRASH (1881-1961?), who emigrated to Australia in 1921, exactly midway through his life, but whose career artefacts as composer and teacher seem to be almost all in Australia.

I found notes about the large influx of foreign-born musicians, composers and teachers who moved to Australia around 1900. Cohorts of them may be found teaching at Paling's in Sydney or involved in the setting up of the Sydney Conservatorium and other schools in those years. Meanwhile many Australian-born composers and performers often had training at schools in London and on the European continent.

In a way, i always wonder if the great Joan Sutherland a British soprano or an Australian one. And that aside, it always give me a big problem how to group my music scores based on nationality........ sigh.

I’m looking for the score of Lindley Evans’ Lavender Time and Percy Grainger’s Hard-Hearted Barb’ra (H)Ellen & In Bristol Town (Both Grainger’s in British Folk-Music Settings, both unnumbered).
Does anyone have that?
Thanks a lot
