AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Nearly 30 years ago, two senior Yolngu lawmen, Mungurrawuy at Yirrkala and Burramarra at Galiwin’ku, independently requested that Jill Stubington publish the results of her research with Alice Moyle ‘in order to teach balanda (non-Aboriginal people) the deep significance of their music’ (p.iii). This book fulfils their wishes, not only for Yolngu music but for many other language groups throughout Australia because it seeks to correlate and to contextualise ethnomusicological research in Australia within the period 1960 to 1980.'  (Introduction)
