Songs of Old Dunedin, DVD

Judy Bellingham, soprano with Terence Dennis, piano perform a selection of 19 songs from 1876 to 1944.
The settlers of Dunedin brought many songs to their new homes, many learnt by heart, others preserved in treasured volumes. They included folk songs, ballads, sacred works, show songs and comic music hall or vaudeville songs.
New music from London and the United States continued to arrive regularly. Patriotic pieces were popular and became even more so during the Boer War and The Great War. Eventually the phonograph, cinema, and radio arrived, and the foxtrot and other styles of jazz were soon embraced. This historical DVD features many of these ‘treasures’.
