Composers' Series, The - Volume 1(a) Piano Solos (de Cairos-Rego)
By Iris de Cairos-Rego
Regular price
$50.00
![](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0018/5896/1460/files/Iris_de_Ciros-Rago_cover_480x480.jpg?v=1569723339)
There 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.
More comprehensive biographical notes are within the volume.
22 piano solos from 1924 to 1957 are represented in this collection and includes a recording by Jeanell Carrigan of all works.

Composers' Series, The - Volume 10(a) Piano Solos (Hill)
By Mirrie Hill
Regular price
$55.00
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In this volume there are many previously unpublished works as well as those composed quite early in her life when she would have been able to perform the works herself.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 10(b) Intermediate (Hill)
By Mirrie Hill
Regular price
$55.00
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.
