I Thought I Heard a Magpie Call
By Margaret Schindler/Philip Mayers

$25.00

Margaret Schindler (soprano), Philip Mayers (piano)
The collection covers a wide ground. Some of these songs were never intended to be considered as High Art; written for relatively uncritical consumption, they and others of their sort were aimed at the home music market, at times when singing together around the piano was a common evening pastime. An all-pervading sense of innocence prevails, maybe reflective of the publishing strictures of the times. Choosing the material for this recording was a journey of rediscovery for the artists which resulted in representative appraisals of a past revisited, and you will find amongst the acknowledged classics the sort of tunes some may primly dismiss as too light a fare.
Choosing the name for this CD was not hard. Ask any Australian abroad what remembered sound most triggers their nostalgia, and the inimitable rusty-gate chortle of the magpie will usually be the answer. [extracts from the liner notes by Philip Mayers]
