Drawing on newly available archival material, key works, and
correspondence of the era, Australian Music and Modernism defines
"Australian Music" as an idea that emerged through the lens of the
modernist discourse of the 1960s and 70s. At the same time that the
new "Australian Music" was distinctive of the nation, it was also
thoroughly connected to practices from Europe and shaped by a new
engagement with the music of Southeast Asia. This book examines the
intersection of nationalism and modernism at this formative time.
During the early stages of "Australian Music" there was
disagreement about what the idea itself ought to represent and,
indeed, whether the idea ought to apply at all. Michael Hooper
considers various perspectives offered by such composers as Peter
Sculthorpe, Richard Meale, and Nigel Butterley and analyzes some of
the era's significant works to articulate a complex understanding
of "Australian Music" at its inception.
