Routledge Australia's Jindyworobak Composers - Music Research

Explore a unique chapter in music history with Australia's Jindyworobak Composers from the Routledge Research in Music series. This book examines a group of Australian composers active between the 1930s and approximately 1960. These artists worked during the later post-colonial period to build a distinct national musical identity. The text looks at how these composers used the Australian landscape and environment to shape their work. It specifically explores the use of Aboriginal elements and imagery within their musical compositions, texts, dramatic scenarios, and programs. This research provides deep insight into a movement that started as a literary manifesto and evolved into a significant musical influence. It is an essential resource for students and historians interested in how national identity is expressed through sound and art in the Australian context.
