  • The Meaning of Yaroomba II
    Revisiting the place name meaning of Yaroomba The Gaiarbau, ‘bunya country’ and ‘thick vine scrub’ connections (by Kerry Jones, Arnold Jones, Sean Fleischfresser, Rodney Jones, Lore?a Algar, Helen Jones & Genevieve Jones) The Sunshine Coast region, fiHy years ago, may have had the greatest use of place names within Queensland derived from Aboriginal language words, according to researcher, E.G. Heap’s 1966 local history arQcle, ‘In the Wake of the Rasmen’. In the early days of colonisaon, local waterways were used to transport logs and Qmber, with the use of Aboriginal labour, therefore the term ‘rasmen’. Windolf (1986, p.2) notes that historically, the term ‘Coolum District’ included all the areas of Coolum Beach, Point Arkwright, Yaroomba, Mount Coolum, Marcoola, Mudjimba, Pacific Paradise and Peregian. In the 1960’s it was near impossible to take transport to and access or communicate with these areas, and made that much more difficult by wet or extreme weather. Around this Qme the Sunshine Coast Airport site (formerly the Maroochy Airport) having Mount Coolum as its backdrop, was sQll a Naonal Park (QPWS 1999, p. 3). Figure 1 - 1925 view of coastline including Mount Coolum, Yaroomba & Mudjimba Island north of the Maroochy Estuary In October 2014 the inaugural Yaroomba Celebrates fesQval, overlooking Yaroomba Beach, saw local Gubbi Gubbi (Kabi Kabi) TradiQonal Owner, Lyndon Davis, performing with the yi’di’ki (didgeridoo), give a very warm welcome. While talking about Yaroomba, Lyndon stated this area too was and is ‘bunya country’. Windolf (1986, p.8) writes about the first Qmber-ge?ers who came to the ‘Coolum District’ in the 1860’s.

  • John Gould and David Attenborough: Seeing the Natural World Through Birds and Aboriginal Bark Painting by Donna Leslie*
    John Gould and David Attenborough: seeing the natural world through birds and Aboriginal bark painting by Donna Leslie* Abstract The English naturalist and ornithologist, John Gould, visited Australia in the late 1830s to work on a major project to record the birds of Australia. In the early 1960s, around 130 years later, the English naturalist, David Attenborough, visited Australia, too. Like his predecessor, Attenborough also brought with him a major project of his own. Attenborough’s objective was to investigate Aboriginal Australia and he wanted specifically to look for Aboriginal people still painting in the tradition of their ancestors. Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory was his destination. Gould and Attenborough were both energetic young men, and they each had a unique project to undertake. This essay explores aspects of what the two naturalists had to say about their respective projects, revealing through their own published accounts their particular ways of seeing and interpreting the natural world in Australia, and Australian Aboriginal people and their art, respectively. The essay is inspired by the author’s curated exhibition, Seeing the natural world: birds, animals and plants of Australia, held at the Ian Potter Museum of Art from 20 March to 2 June 2013. An exhibition at the Ian Potter Museum of Art, Seeing the natural world: birds, animals and plants of Australia currently showing from 20 March 2013 to 2 June 2013, explores, among other things, lithographs of Australian birds published by the English naturalist and ornithologist John Gould [1804-1881], alongside bark paintings by Mick Makani Wilingarr [c.1905-1985], an Aboriginal artist from Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory (Chisholm 1966; McCulloch 2006: 471; Morphy 2012).

  • Didgeridoo Notation
    DIDGERIDOO NOTATION MARKOS KOUMOULAS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO DECEMBER 2018 © MARKOS KOUMOULAS, 2018 Abstract The didgeridoo is a unique musical instrument considered to be one of the world’s oldest instruments. It plays an integral part in Australian Aboriginal history, spirituality, rituals and ceremonies. Didgeridoo playing is solely based on oral tradition with varying techniques and interpretations among Aboriginal communities. For non-Aboriginal musicians and composers, the didgeridoo lacks the status of a “serious” instrument and is often viewed as a novelty instrument. This may be why there is a lack of didgeridoo notation and its misrepresentation in the western notation world. This paper presents a “Didgeridoo Notation Lexicon” which will allow non-didgeridoo composers to understand a readable legend and incorporate the didgeridoo into their compositions. The need for didgeridoo notation will be discussed and analyzed in comparison to previous notation attempts of composers and musicologists such as Sean O’Boyle, Liza Lim, Harold Kacanek and Wulfin Lieske. In the past, the inclusion of the didgeridoo in orchestral contexts has predominately been focussed on its associated Aboriginal imagery regarding dreamtime and spirituality. Conversely, my original composition fully integrates the didgeridoo within the orchestra as an equal instrument, not a focal point to advance a particular theme. I travelled to Cairns, Australia to interview world-renowned didgeridoo player, David Hudson. Hudson’s insight, experience and knowledge of the Aboriginal community supported the creation of a Didgeridoo Notation Lexicon.

  • Programme and Abstracts
    British Forum for Ethnomusicology 2017 Annual Conference Department of Music University of Sheffield PROGRAMME AND ABSTRACTS The Diamond, Sheffield 20-23 April, 2017 1 Welcome from the BFE Chair, Barley Norton: On behalf of the British Forum for Ethnomusicology, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our Annual Conference at the University of Sheffield. The Music Department at the University of Sheffield has a long, distinguished record for teaching and research in ethnomusicology, and this year is the third time the BFE Annual Conference has been held at Sheffield; the first was in 1985 and the second in 2000. Sheffield is renowned for its thriving folk music scene and the BFE conference immediately follows a one-day conference on “Digital Folk”. This forms part of a large-scale research project at Sheffield University, and gives delegates the opportunity to attend both events and explore dialogues between their related themes. The suggested talking point of “Tradition Today” for the Annual Conference reflects the research strengths of Sheffield’s ethnomusicology programme while inviting delegates from around the world to share their insights on aspects of tradition and innovation in music and in ethnomusicology itself. Proposers have also been invited to submit research in any area of ethnomusicology, and the conference programme amply reflects the diverse interests of the BFE, from innovation in ethnomusicology and traditional music to musical migration, from ecoactivism to digital research and practice, and from soundscapes to the ethics of studying music and violence. BFE conferences are a chance for us to socialise and make music together, as well as share our research, and the stimulating programme of papers and panels is complemented by a host of other exciting events.
