Music is a revealing and significant area of exploration when
examining the relationship between the western world and China.
Australia, unequivocally a western nation situated in the Asia
Pacific, has grappled to define and redefine its connection with
the "Middle Kingdom" since the earliest times of Chinese migration.
The saga of musical encounters between Australia and China
continues to this very day. Addressing the themes of: music and
history; tradition versus innovation; cultural
diversity/intercultural creativity; and music and the related arts;
this book focuses on encounters between China and Australia from
the earliest imaginings and representations to the latest cultural
exchanges. Here, the reader will find of stories of forbidden love,
prejudice and deceit, of gestures of harmony and the fulfilment of
dreams and wishes. Ethnomusicologists, composers, performers,
historians and cultural theorists alike explore the past, present,
and future of a long, complex and culturally rich interaction.
Their writings, so varied and diverse, celebrate a multiplicity of
identities, and present a challenging array of research avenues and
perspectives through which to view the Australian-Chinese
connection.
