There is a trend toward ticket and recording sales around new music, tasteful perhaps, but commercial nonetheless. American singer Burl Ives and 'Suvla Bay' come to mind. For some reason, the department of Veterans affairs recommend English hymns for commemoration of ANZAC Day dawn services. Commemoration services can and do change. For example "God save the queen" is no longer played at most services. There is an enormous collection of out-of-copyright music written by Australian composers on suitably patriotic subjects, preserved by Australian libraries and vintage music curators, but these are sadly neglected and very seldom played. Some were written by returned servicemen whilst on duty in Gallipoli and France. Some examples

Jack Lumsdaine
Reginald Stoneham
Frederick Septimus Kelly
Michael Heming - no copies - "Threnody for a soldier killed in action" performed abroad KIA El Alamein
Pte. George Hurst - 1912 Orchestral Intermezzo - no copies KIA 1917
F. Purcell-Warren KIA 1916 five piano miniatures
Pte. Albert J Smith https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C209909
Ms. May Summerbelle 'So Long' and 'Shrine of Remembrance'
'Now is the hour' by pseudonym Clement Scott - probably civilian Albert Bokhare Saunders
Musical Setting of "Austral Hymn" by Gallipoli Correspondent John Sandes
'ANZAC March' and 'Wallabies March' by Alex Lithgow
