Topic: Alfred Hill


  
 DNZB / BIOGRAPHY
Alfred Francis Hill was born in Richmond, Melbourne, Australia, on 16 December 1870, the son of Charles Hill, a hatter and talented violinist, and his wife, Eliza Ann Hulbert.
Alfred's principal teachers were Gustav Schreck for harmony and Hans Sitt for violin, the former imparting a strict Germanic compositional system to which Hill remained steadfast throughout his life, and the latter a thorough performing technique, the basis of Hill's subsequent string quartet and orchestral playing.
Alfred Hill is the most significant of the first wave of European composers in New Zealand and Australia: the way in which he left his mark on the musical occasions and opportunities of both countries reflects the close musical and artistic links of the period.

 Mirrie Hill, Represented Composer, Australian Music Centre
Although Hill accepted the relegation of her own creative work to second place during her husband's lifetime, as was customary for women of her generation, she never ceased to compose.
Hill believed that the string quartet was the most stringent test of a composer's abilities, and correspondingly did not make any attempt to write for this ensemble before the age of eighty-seven.
To mark the occasions of Mirrie Hill's eighty-fifth and ninetieth birthdays (in 1977 and 1982 respectively), special programmes devoted to the composer and her work were broadcast nationally on radio and television.
