Component identifier:

Series 12

Content Summary:

Published music used and collected by Meale. The series has been divided into four subseries - piano sheet music used by Meale; other sheet music; published scores and other music publications.

There did not appear to be any particular order for this series, so each subseries has been arranged by the archivist into alphabetical order by composer.

Please note that the dates given below are the publication dates of the pieces.

Immediate source of acquisition:

The majority of the records appear to have been created or collected by Richard Meale. The papers were transferred to the Library in six accessions (instalments) throughout 2004, with three transferred directly from Meale. The remaining three were transferred by associates and friends of Meale - two former students and Meale's former agent, Barbara Mobbs. It does not appear that any of these custodians rearranged or added to the records during their period of custodianship. The papers from Barbara Mobbs comprise letters from Patrick White to Meale. They were received at the same time as another collection MS 10106, which also relates to Richard Meale. All six accessions were acquired from Meale in 2004. Further papers were transferred by Amanda Meale in 2010.
