British editions of colonial Australian musical works


Prints issued during 1850 by publishers/printers the rest of whose output was later


Bibliography and resources




Introduction

This is register of all extant or otherwise documented musical prints issued in the Australian colonies by printers and publishers mostly active before the end of 1851.

For extant items, titles are live linked to TROVE entries for catalogue records and digitised exemplars, or in a few cases to repositories whose holdings are not currently listed in TROVE.

The page also serves as a register of prints otherwise documented but for which copies are not currently known to survive.

A few words-only song prints published and sold separately are also listed here, but there appear to have been relatively few of these (compared, for instance, to the mass of song published in homeland Britain as broadsides); in the colonies most such local songs were instead published in newspapers, magazines, and occasionally books (local and UK), and these are not included here but may be found in the main checkists. British broadsides on Australian colonial subject matters (convicts, emigrants) are not included here in the absence of persuasive evidence that they actually circulated here at the time.

Prints only are included here; acccordingly, a few instances of local compositions "published" in manuscript are not included, but can be found in the main checklists. Also not included are "Published" manuscript copies of imported titles produced and sold by local music sellers, such as those sold by Francis Ellard now in the Dowling Songbook, e.g. All around my hat and The sea (Neukomm)


Lithography / engraving / typesetting

In a small number of sheet music editions on this page, the music pages were originally drawn directly onto lithographic stones, or transferred to stones from handwritten exemplars.

From the early and mid 1840s, William Duncan and Isaac Nathan's typeset music editions are the earliest Australian examples of that method.

However, in common with most British sheet music in the first half of the 19th-century, the majority of Australian music pages were either printed directly from engraved plates, or page images from engraved plates (or from printed exemplars) were put onto stones by transfer lithography.

Twyman (1996, 501 and following) warns of the considerable difficulties of identifying the method used from the printed results alone, and outlines some helpful procedures for doing so. It is even more difficult to do so reliably from digitised images, however useful they are in almost all other contexts.

In the case of the fairly small number of Australian editions dating from before the 1850s that have illustrative covers, the cover was more likely to have been printed lithographically, entirely independent of the method used to print the music pages. Where an engraver or lithographer's name appears in the cover design, it should not necessarily be assumed that the same artisan was involved in music engraving.

In the case of reprintings in the 1850s, or reissues of the remains of extant print runs under different covers, the later covers are in some cases printed from moveable type. It does not always follow, therefore, that a printer whose name appears on the cover was necessarily responsible for printing the music pages.

Where several print editions by the same or other publishers/printers used the same plates/stones, or by some means tranferred the original page images to new stones for printing later editions, this is noted (for simplicity in the listings below, the word "plates" is used, regardless of the method).

In some cases the later editions are actual reprints; while, in other cases, the remains of an earlier print run were simply given a new titlepage and/or cover, and often also a new publisher identification (as, for example, where Francis Ellard's editions were reissued, successively, by Woolcott and Clarke, and J. R. Clarke).

At least in some cases, early colonial publishers probably also imported cheap mass-produced printed editions from Britain, and merely reissued them locally under their new own titlepages (a method much more common toward the end of the 19th century).

br />

A supplementary page, covering publications of the 1850s (printers and publishers first active between 1852 and 1860) is planned for the future. A working list of those borderline printer/publishers, first active during 1850, but who will be included in the later page is given at the foot of the page.



KEY

The entries are grouped together by printer or publisher's names, in chronological order of that person's first publication; links to further information also appear under the individual's heading.

Editions are listed under separate headings, first dated or datable prints (in chronological order), followed by undated and so far undatable prints (in alphabetical order by title).

All entries are formatted as follows: Title / composer, arranger / place, publisher or printer / date where known / notification of those prints for which "NO COPY IDENTIFIED" / any further relevant information or links to information

Australian original works (musical composition or arrangements) are shown in gold, and the entry ends with a hyperlink to the Main entry for that item in the chronological checklist; for example:

The parting / [Mary Hely] / Dublin: Ellard for Ellard, Sydney / [Sydney, December 1835] / NO COPY IDENTIFIED / see also Main entry

Colonial editions of imported musical works or arrangements are shown in black; for example:

Prince Albert's band march / Stephen Glover / Sydney: T. Rolfe, 4 Regent terrace, Hunter Street, [by May 1842] / NO COPY IDENTIFIED ...

In both cases above, no copies of the print has been identified, and the title is simply bolded.

Where a copy or copies of the print are extant and in the bibliographic record, the titles are hyperlinked to a relevant TROVE record, for example:

For an Australian work:

Echo's song / William Vincent Wallace / Sydney: Printed by J. G. Austin ...

For a local edition of an imported title:

Ellard's national country dances for 1843, no. 3 / [various] / Sydney: F. Ellard / [1843]

Titles engraved by Ellard for other printer/publishers (mostly dateable):

Francis Ellard was still being referred to in the press as a music-seller, as late as October 1851; however, in the course of insolvency proceedings which commenced in February 1847, his Music Saloon and stock were taken over by James Turner Grocott by March 1847, or slightly earlier, and in late May Ellard advertised that he was visiting Windsor in his reduced capacity as a "Pianoforte Tuner and repairer". On 11 February 1848, Ellard advertised another forthcoming tuning tour to the metropolitan hinterland (Liverpool, Campbelltown, Appin, Wollongong) but describing himself more fully as a "Music Puncher, Musical Instrument Maker, Pianoforte Tuner and Repairer". This was the first time he advertised his services as an engraver ("music puncher"); he did so again, for the last time, in September 1850, but he nevertheless probably continued to engrave music for publication by others until close to the time of his death. Titles he engraved and signed, so far identified, are listed below:
