Composing Against the Tide

By Jeanell Carrigan

$45.00 Sale

Early twentieth century Australian women composers and their piano music.

There were a relatively large number of women born in Australia between 1860 and 1915 who became composers of piano music. For many of them this was not an easy task. They did not always receive encouragement. Certainly many could not earn a living at this creative work and they battled not only the gender inequality that still largely exists today but also against musical fashion and trends that their works did not always reflect, as well as the backlash which came from being born into a ‘colonial’ country.  This is their story.

Australian Heritage Collection - the piano works of these women have been published in three volumes as researched and edited by Jeanell. Each volume contains a CD of the works within. 

A CD Nostalgia has been released with many of these works recorded by Jeanell.  It was featured as ABC Classic FM "CD of the week", November 2016.

      Crimson Rosella - fortepiano armonica

      By Ann Carr-boyd

      $20.00 Sale

      Fortepiano and glass armonica…and can be played with alternative instrumentations such as harpsichord, piano with vibraphone or keyboard using vibraphone sound, c.3'30. Advanced level of difficulty.

      The melody and harmonies date back to a tiny snippet of music I wrote many years ago as a brief nostalgic waltz (which formed an interlude in a longer work) and which I have now expanded in this piece, retaining the nostalgic mood. The title is the same as the two harpsichord work and is named in honour of one of Australia’s most spectacular and beautiful birds.  Composed 2018

      Cruising Drone, The

      By Gina Ismene Chitty

      $15.00 Sale

      For piano,  c4'10.  Advanced level of difficulty, Grade 8+

      This piece has a reflective improvisatory feel and can be described as a ‘salon style’ synthesis of a classical and jazz style. Lyrically expressive, it taps into a somewhat romantic and not overly exuberant style, with a focus on an emotional expressionism of a gentle, reflective and tranquil character.
      Composed 2023
