- Summary:
-
All items in the collection are ms. scores and comprise arrangements of popular songs for voice and small orchestras, presumably for radio or TV broadcasts. The collection falls into two parts: Thirteen scores are on 34-37 cm ms. paper and are stamped with Loughhead's MAGA (Music Arrangers Guild of Australia) membership stamp. These have handwritten dates on them, ranging from 1964-1975 with the majority dated during 1970. Two items are Loughhead's own compositions; most of the remainder contain details of original composer, lyricist and publisher. The remaining 124 items are on 32 x 41 cm ms. paper, covering the period 1960-1980. All items have "arr. Ron Loughhead" printed in the left corner at the foot of the score; "W. & J. Barr (Printers) Pty. Ltd." appears in the bottom right corners of each page. Works cover contemporary popular songs and older standards. The number of items carrying one year's date, such as 1968, strengthens the idea that they were prepared for live orchestra performance on radio or television, though there are no name of performers or radio or TV stations on the items. Some contain details of original composer, lyricist and publisher. Many of the scores include arrangements of multiple songs. Items have been numbered by the former owner. Includes a contents list of items in the collection.
