Mirrie Hill (1889-1986)
26 piano solos for intermediate level, 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In this volume there are many previously unpublished works as well as those composed quite early in her life when she would have been able to perform the works herself. On the unpublished works there is rarely a composition date and the date on the published works is presumably attached to publication and not composition. The unpublished works were found within the archives of the Hill Family Papers at the State Library of NSW. The works range in standard between an approximate fourth grade to an approximate seventh grade level.
More comprehensive biographical notes are within the volume which also includes a CD of all the works.
