Dissertation
The Influence of the Australian Landscape and Indigenous Aboriginal Music and Traditions on Australian Choral Music: A Study of Choral Works by Nine Australian Composers
2016
Overview
This dissertation examines Australian choral music that is influenced by indigenous Aboriginal music and traditions and the Australian landscape. It traces the evolution of choral composition in Australia, from the early nineteenth century through to modern times, and examines the indigenous Aboriginal music and traditions that date back over 50,000 years. The study begins with an overview of the evolution of Australian choral music, including the establishment of university programs, choral societies, professional arts organizations, and choral ensembles. Chapter two examines the music of the indigenous Aboriginal people, and the relationship between the music, the traditions, and the land. The remainder of this dissertation focuses on the works of nine Australian composers, Peter Sculthorpe (1929-2014), Ross Edwards (b. 1943), Stephen Leek (b. 1959), Sarah Hopkins (b. 1958), Iain Grandage (b. 1970), Paul Stanhope (b. 1969), Paul Jarman (b. 1971), Dan Walker (b. 1978), and Joseph Twist (b. 1982). The works of each of these composers are highly influenced by elements of the Australian landscape as well as aspects of Aboriginal culture. The dissertation concludes with a catalogue of the compositions featured in this study, with information including length of work, publisher information, and web addresses for each composer.
