AUSTRALIAN RAGTIME 1945 to 2020

This project seeks to list every ragtime tune composed by an Australian between 1945 and 2020. I don’t propose to define either Ragtime or Australian but ask viewers to accept relatively broad definitions. For example I include Percy Grainger (born in Australia but he spent most of his life overseas) and Winifred Attwell (she became an Australian citizen and spent her last years here) as Australians. Some of the more recent “ragtime” compositions to me lack the expected syncopation but I’ve included them anyway.

There has really only been one prolific Australian ragtime composer – Dave Dallwitz from Adelaide. His daughter tells me Dave listed 1,018 compositions (not all ragtime of course). The existence of a prolific composer is not uncommon. Tom Gordon dominated UK ragtime composition and a few US composers like Tom Brier and William Ryden probably account for over 30% of US ragtime compositions in the period. Shortly before he died Dave gave me a handwritten list of 271 ragtime tunes he had composed, saying he thought had omitted perhaps 1/3 of his rag compositions, but qualifying it further by saying I should only acknowledge 91 as the rest, although many fully scored for a band, had probably never been played publically. I’ve added a further 6 as I’ve found commercial renditions of them. For help with the renditions of Dave’s tunes I express great thanks to the South Australian Jazz Archives and to his daughter, Julie Chamberlain. For more general help and encouragement I thank David Beattie and The Australian Jazz Museum.

As we move through these 75 years printed publication of music becomes less common and hard evidence of the existence of a tune has become more difficult. For many titles only the evidence of these is that they appear on a CD or a concert program.

This project, in its first issue here, contains 451 tunes from 100 composers. I hesitate to think how many more there might be, but I am hopeful that viewers will offer up other titles together with some form of proof (recording information, sheet music or even just a rendition) and also that they will offer up corrections. I am not apologising for errors or omissions as hard data in this period is sparse. What is being offered here is the best I can manage, but with viewers help we can hopefully refine it. We owe this recognition to our composers.
