Sat 8 Feb Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander audience members are advised that this performance contains the voice and image of a deceased person. There is a special relationship in the performing arts between creator, performer and audience. Without any one of those elements, the ceremony of performance ceases to exist. In choosing to be here, we thank you for your act of community as we celebrate the artists on the stage and the imaginations of those who have given them environments to inhabit, words to embody and songs to sing. Perth Festival 2020 is a celebration of us – our place and our time. It wouldn’t be the same without you. Iain Grandage, Perth Festival Artistic Director FANFARE You were called to your seat tonight by ‘Match’ composed by 21-year-old UWA student Jet Kye Chong.

It presents traditional songs and harmonised chants from his traditional Yolŋu life with dynamic and hypnotic orchestral arrangements, in a blend of the highest forms of both his culture and our European orchestral culture. It’s a final message, a window into his supreme culture, a recording of an iconic artist at his creative peak and a legacy that will not be surpassed. A NOTE FROM THE CREATORS The artistic vision for Gurrumul’s last album Djarimirri (Child of the Rainbow) was to bring traditional Australian music to the mainstream in our societies. We presented the highest forms of musical and artistic expression in both cultures – the classical traditional of an orchestra (in this instance in a range of styles, including minimalist) and the Yolŋu song style and Yidaki style, which is also repetitive. But the music and album alone only tell a part of a story. Yolŋu live in an expansive world, connecting all the natural elements of the earth through dance, painting, song, land and ancestral stories. The show Buŋgul brings all of those elements together, carefully curated by the Yolŋu, with songlines related to land forms, related to dances, related to painting styles, related to musical patterns, and told through deep poetic language expression to bring us an equal of high art in this country from some of the most precious people who still live here. Gurrumul’s family dance, sing, improvise and direct this insight into a world we should all know a lot more about. We thank his family for their trust, commitment and homage. Mark Grose and Michael Hohnen, Skinnyfish Music, Producers Geoffrey’s songs became famous the world over. People were touched and moved by the beauty of his voice, his own songs and the songs of his mother and grandmother, which he sang. But they did not know the really important part of these songs – their meanings. And that is what we seek to do now, as a gift to Geoffrey, as a gift to the world. To tell a little of the meanings that lie behind these songs. To the Yolŋu, our songs, paintings and dances are our books – they tell us where we have come from and where we are going to. They follow the songlines that weave us together. They are our maps, our law books, our title deeds and our family history. They connect us to the land and to the animals with which we share it and of whom we are a part. They are woven into our hearts. Don Wininba Ganambarr, Director For 200 years Australian society has blocked its ears to the remarkable Indigenous cultures that are our inheritance. As the urgency grows daily to find a more sustainable way to live with the fragile land that supports us, it is surely time to take stock and learn from the extraordinary cultures that have always been around us, cultures such as the Yolŋu. It is time to listen. It is has been a humbling and breathtaking experience to walk on country with Don and Gurrumul’s family, and to get a glimpse into their profound sense of connection and knowledge of the landscape, plants and animals who are their kin. We hope our work together offers a small window into this exquisite world, and a different way of seeing our lives and our destiny.

Gurrumul’s songs speak of identity, spirit, connection with the land, the elements and the ancestral beings to whom he is related. His fragile but uniquely emotive high tenor voice and aura- like persona elicit feelings of peace and longing in listeners.

  • Screen Worlds, Sound Worlds and School: a Consideration of The
    australiaa n societ s y fo r mumsic education e Screen worlds, sound worlds and i ncorporated school: a consideration of the potential of the ethnomusicology of Australian Indigenous film for music education Michael Webb Sydney Conservatorium of Music, University of Sydney, Australia Thomas Fienberg Sydney Conservatorium of Music, University of Sydney, Australia Abstract This article arises from the authors’ belief that there is a need to develop motivating ways for students across Australia to meaningfully encounter Australian indigenous music, the breadth and richness of which is beginning to be conveyed via a diverse range of mainstream media texts. Engaging with theoretical insights from the ethnomusicology of film, specifically, by examining the notions of sound worlds and sound space, we consider ways Australian Indigenous film might be profitably employed in the classroom study of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander music and dance. We consider in some detail the films Yolngu Boy (2000) and One Night the Moon (2001), and suggest classroom approaches to the study of these films based on our own school experiences with them. The article demonstrates ways students might be led to develop analytical, musicological, and performance skills, in order to come to a better understanding of aspects of Australian indigenous musical cultures and Australian experience. Key words: Ethnomusicology of film; Australian indigenous film; music video; media texts Australian Journal of Music Education 2011:2,30-43 Introduction by our own (differing) convictions regarding the urgent need to discover diverse, motivating, In this article we discuss the potential of and authentic ways through which school Indigenous film for meaningful classroom students might experience Australia’s indigenous engagement with Australian indigenous music.

  • Epic Ritual of Gurrumul's Culture
    MEDIA RELEASE: Thursday, 31 October 2019 EPIC RITUAL OF GURRUMUL’S CULTURE Buŋgul (February 7-9) PERTH FESTIVAL COMMISSION Gurrumul's Mother’s Buŋgul Gurrumul's Grandmother’s Buŋgul Gurrumul's Manikay Produced by Skinnyfish Music and Perth Festival with West Australian Symphony Orchestra Image: Jacob Nash A buŋgul is a ceremony, a meeting place of dance, song and ritual. Buŋgul is an epic celebration of great Australian songman Gurrumul’s Yolu culture as a centrepiece of an entire first week of First Nations performances at Perth Festival. Buŋgul invites us into the culture that inspired Gurrumul’s final album Djarrimirri (Child of the Rainbow), in an extraordinary live audio-visual spectacular by Yolŋu dancers, songmen and the West Australian Symphony Orchestra. Directed by Senior Yolu Don Wininba Ganambarr and Nigel Jamieson (Boorna Waanginy: The Trees Speak), Perth Concert Hall will be transformed into a traditional Yolu ceremonial ground for this ground-breaking live event to celebrate one of the transcendent albums of our time. Buŋgul is created on country in North East Arnhem Land. It is conducted by Erkki Veltheim, who collaborated with Gurrumul and producer-musician Michael Hohnen on the orchestral arrangements for the album. Dancers from Elcho Island will perform the traditional dances that accompany the ancient Manikay (songs) that form the genesis of the album. Audiences will be enthralled by the dozens of live musicians and dancers as well as projected imagery of landscapes and paintings that reflect the spiritual and geographical source elements of the traditional Manikay. Djarrimirri was Gurrumul’s gift to the world.
