You are, of course in the wrong hemisphere. Spring is about to sprung here...

Although Clutsam was born in Australia, he went to England in his early twenties and stayed there, so he was pretty much like Grainger in that respect. The National Library of Australia has quite a bit of this music.

Here is another piece I have of his...

Here are two files, in color and in (too pale) B&W. This could be improved.

Does anyone have Frederick John Nott’s (Australian composer 1885-1949) scores?

I have “Dawning and Prelude” scores, nice compositions, (from NLA). If somebody is interesting I will be glad to post them.

Thanks in advance.

P.S- Attached as requested.

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.
