Composers' Series, The - Volume 10(a) Piano Solos (Hill)

By Mirrie Hill

$55.00 Sale


Mirrie Hill (1889-1986)

27 piano solos, composed between  1909 and 1973.  The hard copy volume includes a CD of these works.

Mirrie Hill contributed greatly to Australian music as a pianist, composer, teacher, and examiner. In her 76 years as a composer Mirrie wrote approximately 554 compositions many of which were published. 

In her immense output of piano music there are several works that stand out as providing a good indication of her style. Although the title ‘miniaturist’ is seen by some as derogatory it is one often applied to Robert Schumann as well as many other notable composers. It can be argued that Schumann’s best and most successful works are those short movements in his larger collections of piano works.

In this volume there are many previously unpublished works as well as those composed quite early in her life when she would have been able to perform the works herself.

More comprehensive biographical notes are within the volume which also includes a CD of all the works.

          Composers' Series, The - Volume 8(a) Piano Solos (Hutchens)

          By Frank Hutchens

          $55.00 Sale

          Frank Hutchens (1892-1965)


          14 piano solos for advanced students, composed between early 1930s and 1960s.  The volume includes a CD of these works.

          Hutchens was an extraordinary teacher, who taught at the NSW Conservatorium for almost 50 years and his writing for the piano is always pianistic. These compositions for piano are quite extraordinary in that despite being based on very natural hand positions, and therefore very comfortable to play, they give the impression of being challenging works. This is the case even for the simpler pieces. His musical language could be described as impressionistic, occasionally late romantic, and he uses compositional elements found normally in the music of Impressionistic compositions: unsymmetrical phrases, whole tone scales, unresolved dissonances, and the harmony, while basically tonal explores chromaticism.

          This volume of piano solos is unique as until now there has been no collection of his works. Despite having written over fifty piano compositions they had been published as single items and no compilation had existed. This volume includes the more difficult and challenging works. Volume 8 (b) is designed to present works of approximately fifth to eight grade standard and Volume 8 (c) has elementary to grade five pieces.

          More comprehensive biographical notes are within the volume which also includes a CD of all the works.

            Composers' Series, The - Volume 9 Piano Solos (Evans)

            By Lindley Evans

            $50.00 Sale

            Lindley Evans (1895-1982)

            16 piano solos, composed between  1927 and 1967.  The hard copy volume includes a CD of these works.

            Pianist, composer, conductor, organist, chorister, lecturer, and examiner Lindley Evans was the modern-day renaissance man who made a huge contribution to musical society in Australia during the twentieth century. Born in South Africa his family migrated to Australia when he was fifteen. He felt his own youth and inexperience was a disadvantage and so sought lessons to improve his expertise with Frank Hutchens at the New South Wales State Conservatorium of Music. One thing led to another and Lindley was soon offered many more musical opportunities amongst them adjudicating various competitions, teaching a music appreciation class at the Presbyterian Ladies College in Croydon, conducting choirs as well as a great deal of accompaniment work. By 1921 Evans was a member of the piano staff at the NSW Conservatorium. 

            After a very successful recital with flautist John Lemmoné Evans was asked to accompany Dame Nellie Melba and so developed a strong partnership that lasted many years.

            His piano works are not numerous, and it appears that composition was just another activity that Evans was able to undertake with ease, having had no formal composition lessons.

            All of the works are very tonal, mostly in ternary form and Evans favours those keys in ‘flat ‘tonalities. (Db major being commonly used.) The works were mostly written in the 1930s and 40s with only two exceptions – Holidays in Australia, 1963, and Il Cielo Sereno, 1967.

            More comprehensive biographical notes are within the volume which also includes a CD of all the works.
