St John's Bishopthorpe Glebe

Master F Whaite arrives Sydney from Melbourne. This might be him.

Could this be Fred returning from USA via Wellington. Probably too late as recorded in 1906 electoral rolls as living with father & Daisy. More like Claude Hamilton Whaite, a theatre manager who lived in New Zealand as well as Australia

A lesser known example of Fred Whaite’s music written in the 1950s. I made this recording by entering the music manuscript into the Sibelius.app and used Roland midi sound modules to produce this file.

Fred won an International award for this piece. Got a money prize for it. This version was created using Roland Sound modules irca 2005. There is a good recording available on CD label ABC. The Roland Sound modules don’t do the piece Justice, see piano versionwhich sounds much better
