Description

In Douglas Lilburns famous address to the 1946 Cambridge Summer School of Music, the composer described his search for tradition in the music of New Zealand and spelled out his hopes that a distinctive art music might yet emerge here. Sixty years on, this collection of scholarly essays brings together various perspectives on what tradition means in the context of the music of Aotearoa New Zealand.

Searches for Tradition presents case studies drawn from a broad spectrum of genres, cultures and historical periods, from investigations of New Zealands colonial music to fresh consideration of Lilburns legacy, from corners of the jazz scene to the contemporary revitalization of taonga puoro. The focus on tradition leads in some instances to critical issues of nationalism and biculturalism, while others uncover little-discussed aspects of local music history, performance practice or composition. It will be stimulating reading for all enthusiasts of New Zealand musics past, present and future.

Contributors: Michael Brown, Melissa Cross, Fiona McAlpine, Norman Meehan, Elizabeth Nichol, Michael Norris, Samantha Owens, Anthony Ritchie, Valance Smith, Awhina Tamarapa, Ariana Tikao, Nick Tipping, Peter Walls, Aleisha Ward, Jenny Wollerman.
