The Australian Symphony from Federation to 1960 is written by Dr Rhoderick McNeill and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1409441245 (ISBN 10) and 9781409441243 (ISBN 13).
This is the first study of a neglected genre and has four aims: firstly, to show the development of symphonic composition in Australia from Federation to 1960; secondly to highlight the achievement of the main composers who wrote symphonies; thirdly, to advocate the restoration and revival of this repertory; and, lastly, to take a step towards a recasting of the narrative of Australian concert music from Federation to the present. In particular, symphonies by Marshall-Hall, Hart, Bainton, Hughes, Le Gallienne and Morgan emerge as works of particular significance.
