Singing the Land Author: Jill Stubington

ISBN: 9780980280234 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 320 Published: 1 October 2007 Country of Publication: AU Dimensions (cm): 16.0 x 24.3 Description: For the Indigenous people of Australia, songs and dances have encoded their history and religion, their social organisation, and their connectedness to the land for 60,000 years. As research assistant to the eminent musicologist Alice Moyle, and later on her own behalf, Jill Stubington spent many years between 1960 and 1980 in remote regions of Australia learning to listen to this music, to understand its complexity, its central role in identity, social cohesion, celebration and the resolution of family conflict. From 1960 new sound and film equipment widened the opportunities for recording; and soon the guitar and recorded popular music began to intermingle with the traditional styles. It became a matter of urgency to use the new technology to preserve the old culture.
