The Influence of Indigenous Bushmen Musical Elements and Significant Compositional Traits on Niel van der Watt’s Song Cycle, Die Wind Dreun soos ‘n Ghoera, ‘n Siklus Boesman-Mites. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2014, 65 pp., 24 examples, bibliography, 21 titles. In Ghoera, Afrika-verse vir kinders, poet Hennie Aucamp demonstrates an affiliation with and reflection of his surroundings, such as the tribal communities he experienced as a child. This group of African children’s poems, published by Protea Boekhuis in 2011, became the source of inspiration for composer Niel van der Watt’s song cycle Die wind dreun soos ‘n ghoera, ‘n Siklus Boesman-mites. This study investigates and identifies significant compositional traits that contributed to van der Watt’s song cycle. To explore and understand the nature of such influences, the second chapter considers the composer’s early childhood; religious world views; student life; social, environmental, and political ideas; personal tonal language; and western musical elements.

  • Afrikaans Poetry (1955-2012)
    Athens Journal of Philology - Volume 3, Issue 2 – Pages 97-116 An Attempt at Periodizing Recent (Southern African) Afrikaans Poetry (1955-2012) By Bernard Odendaal A perspective is offered on Afrikaans poetry between 1955 and 2012. This literary era overlaps with the socio-political era of Apartheid and the struggle against it, as well as the consequent establishment of democracy in South Africa. An approach based on systems theory is combined with views that South African literature may be seen as a "story-scape" of major discourses. Both intra- and extra-systemic factors have influenced trends in Afrikaans poetry. Pressing Southern African socio-political issues have helped to shape the said Afrikaans poetry era into three distinctive periods. The first may be labelled the "literature of the Sixties" (a belated flowering of modernism in Afrikaans). The "Soweto riots" of 1976 then steered South Africa towards socio- political reform. A second poetry period, characterized by tensions between aesthetic and socio-political considerations, therefore covers the years up to the democratic elections of 1994. Since then, discourses like the postcolonial, postmodern and ecological have become centralized. Keywords: Afrikaans poetry, Periodization, Recent era. Introduction: A Bird’s-Eye View of the History of Afrikaans and Afrikaans Poetry before 1955 Afrikaans is a Southern African language, named after the continent on which it developed. It evolved from 17th century Dutch in the contact situation between Dutch and other settlers of European descent, the indigenous Khoikhoi cattle herders and other indigenous African peoples, as well as the Malaysian slaves who were imported to what was formerly known as the Cape of Good Hope.

There were two imperatives for this. First, the scale of change in the world, the growth and development of knowledge and technology and the demands of the 21st Century required learners to be exposed to different and higher level skills and knowledge than those required by the existing South African curricula. Second, South Africa had changed. The curricula for schools therefore required revision to reflect new values and principles, especially those of the Constitution of South Africa. The first version of the new curriculum for the General Education Band, known as Curriculum 2005, was introduced into the Foundation Phase in 1997.

Trouens, hy was deel Book Title: Legkaart van ’n jong lewe: van die Sestigerbeweging en nou, ongeveer vyftig jaar later op negentigjarige ouderdom, skryf hy Essays oor wat was en steeds. Die Afrikaanse letterkunde is ryk aan gerypte skrywers: T.T. Cloete, Elsa Joubert en Elisabeth geword het Eybers van die ouer garde, asook ander Sestigers soos Breyten Breytenbach en Abraham H. de Vries. Dolf van Niekerk is een van hierdie groep beleë skrywers wat steeds werk van gehalte produseer. Book Cover: Hy het in verskillende genres gepubliseer, onder meer jeugverhale, poësie, romans en radiodramas. In 2017 verskyn Kroniek van turf, ’n prosateks wat op ’n manier beskryf kan word as ’n ‘kort begrip’ van die Suid-Afrikaanse geskiedenis deurdat hy in die uitbeelding van die karakters se lewensloop bepaalde bykans argetipiese elemente van die Suid-Afrikaanse geskiedenis aan die orde stel. Legkaart van ’n jong lewe, sy jongste publikasie, bevat ’n reeks van 48 essays of verhalende sketse waarin hy besin oor sy eie jeug. Ek noem die stukke spesifiek ’n reeks omdat daar baie duidelik ’n opbou en samehang tussen die onderdele bestaan. Die essayistiese sketse of verhalende essays dek die verloop van ’n hele jeug, vanaf ongeveer die vyfde lewensjaar van die skrywer tot net voor sy een-en-twintigste verjaarsdag. Elke essay beskryf ’n belangrike en selfs bepalende moment of gebeurtenis in die skrywer se lewe, maar hierdie gebeurtenisse dra meer gewig as net Author: ’n persoonlike herinnering.
