Three recently published works by Arnold van Wyk draw renewed attention to this most individual and accomplished South African composer. They are his 1st String Quartet (miniature score and parts), the Pastorale e Capriccio for piano solo, and an important cycle of five songs for voice and piano, Van Liefde en Verlatenheid (Of Love and Forsakenness). All three works were performed during the 1957 series of Wigmore Hall concerts devoted to South African music; and the song cycle was given at the I.S.C.M. Festival in Israel in 1954.
