Music
[edit]There is a trend toward ticket and recording sales around new music, tasteful perhaps, but commercial nonetheless. American singer Burl Ives and 'Suvla Bay' come to mind. For some reason, the department of Veterans affairs recommend English hymns for commemoration of ANZAC Day dawn services. Commemoration services can and do change. For example "God save the queen" is no longer played at most services. There is an enormous collection of out-of-copyright music written by Australian composers on suitably patriotic subjects, preserved by Australian libraries and vintage music curators, but these are sadly neglected and very seldom played. Some were written by returned servicemen whilst on duty in Gallipoli and France. Some examples
