Australia's Jindyworobak Composers examines the music of a
historically and artistically significant group of Australian
composers active during the later post-colonial period (1930s-c.
1960). These composers sought to establish a uniquely Australian
identity through the evocation of the country's landscape and
environment, including notably the use of Aboriginal elements or
imagery in their music, texts, dramatic scenarios or 'programmes'.
Nevertheless, it must be observed that this word was originally
adopted as a manifesto for an Australian literary movement, and
was, for the most part, only retrospectively applied by
commentators (rather than the composers themselves) to art music
that was seen to share similar aesthetic aims. Chapter One
demonstrates to what extent a meaningful relationship may or may
not be discernible between the artistic tenets of Jindyworobak
writers and apparently likeminded composers. In doing so, it
establishes the context for a full exploration of the music of
Australian composers to whom 'Jindyworobak' has come to be
popularly applied. The following chapters explore the music of
composers writing within the Jindyworobak period itself and,
finally, the later twentieth-century afterlife of Jindyworobakism.
This will be of particular interest to scholars and researchers of
Ethnomusicology, Australian Music and Music History.
