The Willow Facebook page noted hymnist, Richard Connolly’s death recently, and the ABC has put up an obituary that goes beyond his justified fame for writing the Play School theme.
His is music is still available at Willow. My copy of the The New Living Parish Hymn book has twenty of his songs, only exceeded by the editor of the hymnal John de Luca. He also wrote the text of a few of the hymns but usually deferred to his poet collaborator James McAuley (1917-1976).
The sheet music for this collection is also available at Willow.
