The beginnings and development of a New Zealand music: The life ...

made access to personal documents and private papers of various
organisations difficult.
Where the source of material derives from correspondence or
conversation with a subject, it is noted as such with the name of the
subject followed by the fact that the contact was with this author,
followed by the date of the contact. To give two examples:
Douglas Lilburn in correspondence with author 19 October 1981.
David Farquhar in conversation with author May 1919.
Where the source of material has been derived from private
documents and papers of individuals or organisations, these have almost
without exception been located at the Alexander Turnbull Library,
Wellington.
Most of these papers are collected as part of the Archive
of New Zealand Music of that Library. Where these papers are housed in
a collection other than those, or indeed, where such material derives
from sources other than this library, a specific reference will be
given.
Otherwise, the source of Alexander Turnbull Library alone will
be cited, this referring specifically to that Library's Archive of New
Zealand Husic.
Some of the general background material for the study of
Lilburn's life derived from the research undertaken by John P. Scott
towards the degree of Master of Arts at the University of Canterbury.
This research was abandoned before the material collected by Scott was
drafted into prose form. Where this material is initially referred to,
the following note of source will be given:
John P. Scott., Notes (1975-9) on Douglas Lilburn. A
collection of unpublished material relating to the
life and works of Douglas Lilburn.
Elsewhere, the note of source will be given simply as: Scott Papers.
A major source for gauging contemporaneous reaction to the work
of Douglas Lilburn has been through a collection of newspaper clippings
gathered by this author. Many of these have been photocopied from such
collections housed at libraries (in particular the Alexander Turnbull
Library and the Broadcasting Corporation of New Zealand Library), some
have been photocopied from the archives of various organisations (in
particular the Australasian Performing Right Association New Zealand
Office, the University of Canterbury Drama Society and the Christchurch
Society for Contemporary Music), others have been photographed from
personal collections of composers and musicians.
Regrettably, the
majority of these clippings were not sourced adequately at the time
they were cut out of newspapers, magazines or periodicals. At best,
a date and title of publication have been written on the clippings,
