Robert Henry McAnally (8 December 1882 – 10 July 1956) was an Australian composer and conductor.[1]

Career

He was a prolific composer, arranger, conductor and instructor.[2][3][4] He was member of the Salvation Army Leichhardt Corps.[5]

From an early age he was an instructor for brass instruments in the brass band in the Salvation Army, also giving lessons for brass instruments outside the band. He later became a captain in the Salvation Army and the conductor of the Australian Travelling Band.[6]

In 1899 he composed the musical score for Soldiers of the Cross, one of the first films made and produced in Australia.[7]

McAnally was also the conductor of other wind and brass bands[8][9] including the New South Wales Transport Band.[10] He was president of the Brass Bands' Association;[11] served on the board of music for the Salvation Army in Australia; adjudicated band competitions;[12] and was a founding member of the New South Wales Bandmasters' Association.[13]

An event is held by the Australian School Band and Orchestra Festival each year honouring the legacy of McAnally[14]
