29 Ms has “dim” at

29 Ms has “dim” at this bar (not two bars earlier). 31 Ms has π here (not three bars later). 32/33 Minim B in LH is tied to minim B in next bar with slur extended in ms. 33 Ms does not have π on 3rd beat. 45 Ms has “cresc.” but no crescendo hairpin in the following two bars. 54 The long slur in RH starts on the first quaver of this bar in ms (not the bar before). 57 The long slur in RH starts on the first quaver of this bar in ms (not the bar before). 58 Ms has no diminuendo hairpin. 60 Ms has “dim al fine” but does not have the ∆ marking. 64 Ms time signature is Fd not Cb. 67 Ms time signature is Fd not Cb. 68 Ms has dotted semibreve in both hands, and no minim rest. Andante Commodo (1973) We have preserved Lilburn’s grouping of quavers as in this case the composer’s notation shows so clearly the intended cross rhythms. 16 The manuscript has “poco a poco meno π” which we have changed to “poco crescendo”. Publisher’s note Rod Biss, Auckland, 2011 In the early 1940s Douglas Lilburn established what become lifelong friendships with a number of artists, writers and poets in Christchurch who, along with Lilburn, were instrumental in establishing a genuine vernacular for the arts in New Zealand. Notable among this circle were Lilburn’s close friends and fine artists Rita Angus and Leo Bensemann, both of whom shared an exchange of artistic influence with Lilburn. Care was taken in the Recorded series to present Lilburn among his contemporary artists with each volume featuring a selection of Bensemenn’s landscape paintings on the cover along with paintings by Rita Angus inside the full-colour booklets. Similarly, we have chosen to feature Bensemenn’s Rain in the Paradise Garden, Takaka on the front cover of our series of publications to provide a sense of unity with the Recorded series. The Publisher gratefully acknowledges the assistance from the Alexander Turnbull Library, Rod Biss, Claire Harris, Dr Robert Hoskins and financial support from Massey University in the publication of this edition.
