  • Making Our Own—Two Ethnographies of the Vernacular in New Zealand Music: Tramping Club Singsongs and the Māori Guitar Strumming Style
    Making our own—two ethnographies of the vernacular in New Zealand music: tramping club singsongs and the Māori guitar strumming style by Michael Brown A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington/Massey University in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music New Zealand School of Music 2012 ii Abstract This work presents two ethnographies of the vernacular in New Zealand music. The ethnographies are centred on the Wellington region, and deal respectively with tramping club singsongs and the Māori guitar strumming style. As the first studies to be made of these topics, they support an overall argument outlined in the Introduction, that the concept of ―vernacular‖ is a valuable way of identifying and understanding some significant musical phenomena hitherto neglected in New Zealand music studies. ―Vernacular‖ is conceptualised as an informal, homemade approach that enables people to customise music-making, just as language is casually manipulated in vernacular speech. The different theories and applications which contribute to this perspective, taken from music studies and other disciplines, are examined in Chapter 1. A review of relevant New Zealand music literature, along with a methodological overview of the ethnographies is presented in Chapter 2. Each study is based upon different mixtures of techniques, including participant-observer fieldwork, oral history, interviews, and archival research. They can be summarised as follows: Tramping club singsongs: a medium of informal self-entertainment among New Zealand wilderness recreationists in the mid-twentieth century. The ethnography focuses on two clubs in the Wellington region, the Tararua Tramping Club and the Victoria University College Tramping Club, during the 1940s-1960s period, when changing social mores, tramping‘s camaraderie and individualism, and the clubs‘ different approaches, gave their singsongs a distinctive character.

  • Paradigm Shift Five-Year Strategic Plan 2005-2010 June 2006 3 Garry Moore Christchurch of Mayor
    Paradigm Shift Five-year Strategic Plan 2005-2010 July 2006 VISION The Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu will take a key leadership role in making Christchurch’s Cultural Precinct and Worcester Boulevard the most visited cultural tourism site in New Zealand. The Gallery is ideally placed to take this lead with its iconic building, strategic location at the heart of the Cultural Precinct and the Gallery’s programmes inviting visitors to live the Precinct’s core values of expanding cultural horizons and enriching senses. The Gallery wants to grow the public’s perception of art as it commits to new audiences by building a new, stimulating visitor experience and develop the brand. The Gallery recognises its key audiences are the families/whanau of Christchurch, international visitors to the City, domestic visitors, educational groups and special audiences. The Gallery strives to connect people with art – emotionally and intellectually. We celebrate art and the creative spirit. The Gallery knows where it stands and has global reach. The Gallery educates, inspires discovery and preserves the legacy of artistic achievement for the people of Canterbury and New Zealand through collecting, presenting, interpreting and conserving quality works of art. The Gallery wants to be recognised locally, nationally and internationally as innovative, with quality collections and programmes, and for the enjoyment and appreciation of art it brings all its audiences. The Gallery will set a standard of excellence in all its endeavours. FOREWORD Change is always a difficult process as it challenges us to think outside our familiar boundaries. It takes courage, commitment and tenacity to enact change, exactly what the Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu has done during the last six months with the Paradigm Shift.
