New Guinea

I somehow always associate Alfred Hill with New Guinea, since a set of his piano pieces which I found and bought many years ago was based on, and dedicated to, its people, after a visit he made there. So I was somewhat surprised to see no mention of New Guinea in the article; but perhaps it was only a minor interlude in his life?

Re-structuring of the article

I somewhat re-ordered the article, which read as a collection of factoids until now. A bit more on Hill's work as a composer would be good, though, as well as extending the list of works. --Ilja.nieuwland (talk) 10:00, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Date of Birth

The year of birth is stated as 2021 in the first paragraph. Please correct.

'Hill returned to New Zealand...'

Don't understand. Had he been to NZ before?

Is it simply that he returned from Europe, but took up residence in New Zealand instead of Australia? --Bluedawe 04:41, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
