    WISDOM MAN To the future of my people The River Knows (Kuuyang – Eel Song) Shane Howard, Neil Murray and Banjo Clarke Who’s going to save this country now? Who’ll protect its sacred power? Listen to the south-west wind Listen can you hear the spirits sing? See the wild birds fill the sky Hear the plover’s warning cry Feel the wind and feel the rain Falling on the river once again The river knows The river flows That old river knows Watch us come and go The south-west wind brings Autumn rain To fill the rivers once again The eels will make their journey now Longing for that salty water Down the Tuuram stones they slither In their thousands down the river Headed for the river mouth Fat and sleek and slowly moving south All the tribes will gather here Travel in from everywhere Food to share and things to trade Song and dance until it fades Hear the stories being told Handed down to young from old See the fires burning there Hear the voices echo through the air Listen can you hear their song? Singin’ as they move along? Movin’ through that country there All the stories gathered here The kuuyang* move into the ocean Restless motion Even though they go away The spirits all return to here again * Eels ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Camilla Chance and Banjo Clarke’s family would like to thank the following people for their help and support in making this book possible: above all, Elizabeth (Libby) Clarke, the historian among Banjo’s children and a greatly honoured keeper of traditional ways; Camilla is much indebted to her for her input into her father’s book.

  • Reconciliation Made Sound: Madjitil Moorna's Experience of Harmony
    202 © Julie Rickwood, Context 37 (202): 93–06. Reconciliation Made Sound: Madjitil Moorna’s Experience of Harmony and Healing * Julie Rickwood Music both articulates and offers the immediate experience of collective identity … In responding to a song, to a sound, we are drawn into affective and emotional alliances … Music is especially important for our sense of ourselves because of its unique emotional intensity—we absorb songs into our own lives and rhythm into our own bodies … Identity is always an ideal, what we would like to be, not what we are … What makes music special is that musical identity is both fantastic—idealizing not just oneself but also the social world one inhabits—and real: it is enacted in activity. In this quote, musicologist Simon Frith captures the link between music and identity, drawing attention to music’s ability to craft affective and emotional alliances. He does not, * An earlier version of this paper was presented at ‘Power of Music’: The 34th National Conference of the Musicological Society of Australia and the 2nd International Conference on Music and Emotion, 30 Nov.– 3 Dec. 2011, The University of Western Australia. It was included in a Panel Roundtable entitled ‘Singing Sorry: Performing Emotion and Reconciliation in Kerry Fletcher’s Sorry Song’ that was chaired by my colleague, Katelyn Barney from the University of Queensland. The Sorry Song was performed by Fletcher and Madjitil Moorna as part of the roundtable. Fletcher and members of Madjitil Moorna spoke to the song in their contribution to the roundtable. Barney also presented a short paper. A more detailed discussion of those contributions and the roundtable itself will be included in my doctoral thesis (forthcoming).

  • Lawson's Latest
    LAWSON’S LATEST THE HENRY LAWSON HIGH SCHOOL 17 MARCH 2017 TERM 1 ISSUE 8 Legendary Singer/Songwriter Visits The Henry Lawson High School On Friday 10 March, John Schumann, ex-lead singer/songwriter from Redgum, visited The Henry Lawson High School and was very excited to do so. As the Year 7-10 students discovered, John is a very keen fan of Henry Lawson, so much so that he joined with other great Australian artists, such as Shane Howard from Goanna, Robbie Hirst from Midnight Oil and Russell Morris, to produce an album of Lawson’s songs. John spoke to our students about Lawson and the adversities he faced during his life as well as his significance as a prominent Australian writer. John also talked about his own iconic song, I was Only 19, backgrounding the Vietnam War and how that influenced the creation of this song. An early film clip was played, back when John had darker and longer hair, and these visuals helped students understand the issues in the lyrics. He answered student questions and hopefully left them with the awareness that attending a school named for Henry Lawson is certainly a powerful thing. John then spent time with the school band discussing musicality, the ‘feel’ and ‘groove’ of music. Again students asked questions and he was impressed with the quality of these. He explained his musical background, how he moved from being a drummer to a guitarist, as it was much easier to lug a guitar around. John had no formal training, but that didn’t stop him from teaching himself how to create songs.
