| Description : |
The outbreak of World War One in 1914 produced a large quantity of patriotic songs. Some of the themes reflected in the lyrics of this genre are personal sacrifices, recruitment and anti-conscription. Gertie Campbell composed songs and piano music, published the works of other South Australians and sold music in her shop in Bowman's Arcade, King William Street. As a pianist she was in the habit of embellishing popular pieces as she demonstrated them to her customers. |
