The Birds Began to Sing
"Born in 1945 on the West Coast, she grew up as one of six sisters in a musical family in Christchurch. Dotty, as she is known, graduated with a MusB (Hons) in composition and worked as a freelance composer, pianist, violinist and teacher, with students relishing her unconventional approach to music education. She went on to become a musical director, adjudicator and QEII Arts Council assessor and co-founded the publishing co-operative Nota Bene. Her hundreds of compositions include collaborations with writers Witi Ihimaera, Margaret Mahy, Lauris Edmond and Fleur Adcock, and her awards include a CANZ Outstanding Achievement Award, a Suffrage Medal, and the ONZM. In the 1990s Dorothy was part of the artistic directorate for three Composing Womens festivals that showcased classical, rock, jazz, Māori and Pasifika music, and her own compositions.Dorothy Buchanans story is told with her trademark modesty and humour and rings with her lifelong passion for music."--Publisher information.
A Dot's Life
The autobiography of a woman growing up in Liverpool in the Thirties and Forties Volume One: 1934-1946 A tender and honest portrayal of the life of a working-class girl in Liverpool in the thirties and forties. Her journey to womanhood takes us through the second world-war and shows what it was like to live with rations, blackouts and air-raid shelters. What emerges isn't a catalogue of drudgery and misery, but rather a testament to the human spirit and to life itself. Dorothy is a survivor in more ways than one - not least of all from her domineering mother and weak father.
