Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. Several contributors. Includes directory of contributors. Illustrated with numerous b&w photographs in three sections. Printed music notation endpapers. With list of abbreviations. Preface & edited by Warren Bebbington. "The Oxford Companion to Australian Music, a major addition to the range of Oxford music reference books, will be of great interest to music lovers, as well as to musicians, scholars, and students. To date no volume has combined biographical information about key musicians, an interpretative account of Australia's musical heritage, a critical guide to compositions and recordings, and a guide to the burgeoning scholarly literature in the field. The Companion, with more than two thousand entries, written by 180 contributors, ranges across a wide spectrum, from ancient Aboriginal traditions and European-derived orchestral, operatic and concert music, to Australian folk, jazz, country, popular, rock, electronic, and experimental music. It covers the music not only of mainstream audiences but also of Australia's religious denominations and recent immigrant communities."
