The Liverpudlian Loughlin was appointed professor of music at the University of Melbourne in 1958. That he was also a composer was generally unknown. The earliest works here are audibly by an English composer, one who knew his Vaughan Williams, and blend an honest sincerity with fleet-footed wit. The approach of the later pieces is more philosophical and searching, the harmony more at ease with dissonance and the melodic lines more angular - in both peppy counterpoint and long-breathed lyricism.
