Well, oddly enough there doesn't seem to be any composers of "serious" music that I can find who originated in Rhodesia. One would think there would be at the very least a Rhodesian Rhapsody or two floating around by some enterprising Salisburian...
Hope I'm proven wrong.
Maybe 'Rhodesian' composers are hard to find because Rhodesia ceased to exist in 1980?

But it
did exist prior to 1980, and that's the time period I'm speaking of.

Thank you :)
The closest thing I can find is Malcolm Forsyth, a renowned canadian composer born in South Africa. Some of his pieces have Zulu themes and are quite strange. But it IS NOT RHODESIA. Try "The Valley of a Thousand Hills" and the first symphony.

Will investigate, thanks :)
