Australian Heritage Collection Volume I
By Jeanell Carrigan
Regular price
$40.00
Piano music by Australian Women Composers There were many examples in the early part of the twentieth century in Australia of women who were exceptional pianists and who also wrote a great number of piano works. Many of these women were labelled child prodigies and obviously showed enormous potential and musical ability. These women performed as soloists and accompanists and contributed hugely to the musical and cultural life in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide. They also left a large collection of compositions written for the solo keyboard.
To produce these three volumes within this Collection, Dr Jeanell Carrigan has researched and edited almost 50 works of Australian women composers, most of which have never been published. Each volume is accompanied by a CD of its works recorded by Jeanell. and biographical notes on each composer. All the composers were born between 1862 and 1915. Many of them lived for the whole of the twentieth century, and in that time experienced many changes in the way music was composed, thought about written about and performed. Of course, they experienced many difficulties. To be a composer in Australia during this period was a difficult enough, and to be a woman, was short of impossible!
The composers in this volume:
Ada Maud Fitz-Stubbs (1861-1949); Mona McBurney (1862-1932); Florence Donaldson Ewart (1864-1949); Mary Bowden (1868-1950); (Annie) May Summerbelle (1868-1949); Esther Khan (1877-1962); Una Bounre (1882-1974); May Brahe (1855-1956) and Katherine (Kitty) Parker (1886-1971)

Composers' Series, The - Volume I(a) Piano Solos
By Iris de Cairos-Rego
Regular price
$45.00
Iris de Cairos-RegoThere are many composers who lived in the early part of the twentieth century in Australia whose music has been scattered and largely forgotten. Even if their music was published it is long out of print and might be found in several libraries in the original publication or in archives but is often very difficult to trace and is almost never available from one source.
In The Composers' Series each volume will contain biographical notes about the composer, editorial and performance notes about each piano composition, the scores and recordings. While its aims are to present a comprehensive portrait of the composer and their piano music this will sometimes be impossible as some scores have certainly been lost forever and only a mention can be made of those works.
Included is a recording by Jeanell Carrigan of all works in the hard copy volume.

By Kitty Parker
Regular price
$40.00
Katharine "Kitty" ParkerThis is the third volume in this series of Australian Women composers who lived in the early part of the twentieth century whose music has been largely forgotten. In this series the scores and recordings have been created to preserve the musical legacy of composers and create a, where possible, comprehensive collection of their music. This is one such composer.
In The Composers' Series each volume will contain biographical notes about the composer, editorial and performance notes about each piano composition, the scores and recordings. While its aims are to present a comprehensive portrait of the composer and their piano music this will sometimes be impossible as some scores have certainly been lost forever and only a mention can be made of those works.

Early twentieth century Australian women composers and their piano music.Nostalgia
By Jeanell Carrigan
Regular price
$25.00
Jeanell Carrigan (piano)Alfred Hill, the Australian composer is reputed to have said “To me there are only two kinds of music - good or bad. All old music has at one time been modern and all modern music will one day become old so why worry? Time is a great critic that puts them in their place”.
The piano compositions on this recording have been deliberately chosen because of their beauty, their inherent musicality, the craft and skill of the composers and their appeal to the listener. Not considered in their selection was any decision based on whether the style was the fashion at the time of their composition. All of the composers on this recording are Australian women who were born between 1862 and 1915.
To support this recording, Dr Jeanell Carrigan has researched and compiled three volumes of scores of these and additional piano works, most of which have not previously been published. These volumes, together with individual CDs, are available online.
