Composer: William Hunter

[thereallyniceman]

Steve Harrison has been browsing the University Libraries around the world to find interesting tunes for, or suitable for, banjo and has found a composer named William Hunter. On further research he reliably informs me that Parke Hunter composed using the name William Hunter.

He sent me a copy of what he described as one of his favourites "The College Rag".

I didn't immediately recognise the title, but then remembered that William J Ball had recorded it on the  "More William" CD during his 1994 American visit.

 

I have uploaded the banjo score and a full piano score to the MUSIC LIBRARY for those who would like to give it a try.

The CD and other Bill Ball CDs can be bought from Fred Determan's website:
