The original issue of this publication is a tribute in the form of a composite portrait of Douglas Lilburn, sketched by a selection of his friends, pupils and colleagues to honour the occasion of his retirement from Victoria University. “Of great value during our research… was the 1980 Festschrift, published by CANZ.” – Roger Smith and Gareth Watkins (Producers of the ten-part Radio New Zealand series “Douglas: The Landscape of a New Zealand Composer”).
