ASIAN BROADCASTING UNION PROGRAMME AND ENGINEERING COMMITTEE MEETINGS, SYDNEY 1969 G.P.O. BOX 487, SYDNEY 2001 TELEPHONE: 31-0211 CABLES: "ABCOM" SYDNEY AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING COMMISSION, BROADCAST HOUSE, 145 ELIZABETH STREET, SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA. Turkish Radio and Television Corporation P/17 LIST OP OUTSTANDING CONTEMPORARY COMPOSERS OF COUNTRIES OP THE ABU REGION —- The works of outstanding contemporary composers in the ABU region are not adequately represented on commercial gramophone records and consequently not known to a wide international audience. To contribute to the development of mutual understanding among the countries of ABU members, it would be very helpful if the more serious music of the various countries could be made available to an international audience. For example, on the occasion of Rational Bays or of special ABU celebrations, a direct exchange of programmes containing works by living composers of the countries of members could be arranged. Thus ABU members could exchange serious music and could also introduce to their own audience the best works of the countiy for which they are planning a special programme. As a first step, the Secretariat could send a questionnaire to members inviting them to supply lists of the outstanding living composers m their own countries in the field of serious music. The information supplied by members should include a short bio¬ graphy of each composer and information about his recorded and written musical works. When this information had been obtained from members, a complete list would be compiled by the Secretariat for circulation among It would be advisable for the Secretariat to appoint a music co-ordinator for the collection of this information.
