This is a list of Australian composers of classical music, contemporary music and/or film soundtracks.
These names are largely drawn from the following:
Music Australia[1] an online service developed by the National Library of Australia (NLA)[2] and the National Film and Sound Archive (NFSA);[3]
Australian Music Centre's (AMC) list of "Represented artists";[4]
lists entitled "Australian Composers" and "Australian Repertoire" published by Australian Choral Conductors Education and Training (ACCET);[5]
the "Catalogue of Australian Organ Compositions 1866–2002" published by the Organ Historical Trust of Australia (OHTA);[6]
the "Australian Composers" list;[7]
and various other websites and media sources.
Wherever possible, dates of birth and death are shown. The pseudonyms used by some composers are listed along with a reference back to their legal name. Entries are cross-referenced to one or more sources to provide further information.
This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.
