In 2017 I was invited to give a concert at the Newcastle Art Gallery (Australia) to celebrate an outstanding exhibition that consisted of Australian paintings from the Gallery’s own collection. Borrowing from the idea of Mussorgsky's 'Pictures at an Exhibition', this suite was composed in response to a selection of those paintings as follows:Shoalhaven River Afternoon (Arthur Boyd); Summer Storm (Emily Kngwarreye); E.U.R. 1 (Jeffrey Smart); The Crow Trap (Russell Drysdale); Easter Show (Sidney Nolan); Grace (Hilda Rix Nicholas); King Sun and the Hunter (John Olsen) and Summer at Carcour (Brett Whiteley). The Suite was premiered at the concert, with the composer (violin) accompanied by pianist Peter Guy (piano).

Piano,Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1118327 Composed by Scott Joplin. Arranged by David McKeown. 20th Century,Jazz,Ragtime. 33 pages. David McKeown #719845. Published by David McKeown (A0.1118327). Scott Joplin is celebrated as the United States’ first well-known black composer, making his name as a writer of piano rags. His life was a constant struggle with adversity, and Joplin died relatively young in 1917, at the dawn of the recording age. Few remembered Joplin’s music until a revival in the 1970s brought The Entertainer and others to the world’s attention. Nowadays Scott Joplin has taken his rightful place in the gallery of great American composers. The Rags included in this collection are, The Entertainer, The Maple Leaf Rag, The Easy Winners, The Elite Syncopations and The Favorite. They have been arranged as solos for one Violin with piano accompaniment, and include all sections of the original compositions. You will download one pdf file that contains both 22 pages of piano score and the 10 page solo part. These pieces are suitable for players at an intermediate and advanced intermediate level. Musicians will find these Ragtime solos ideal for formal and informal performances, light and fun, yet still a serious and vitally important part of the American musical heritage. The overall performance time for all five is around 25 minutes. Teachers will enjoy using these arrangements as a fun way to help with phrasing, syncopated rhythms and light articulation.  Click on the YouTube link to see and hear samples from the collection.
