Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australian Rock Chronicles 1955-1964 retraces the evolution of Australian rock music during the first ten years or what is commonly referred to as the 'first wave’. The book tells the story of how rock music in Australia grew from its early troubled beginnings to what it is today - readily accepted by society as a part of a thing called ‘pop culture’. It is as much about the people – the artists, the promoters, the generation of teenagers who ensured its survival and the adults who tried in vain to quell the revolution – as it is about the music. It also touches briefly on the birth of rock ‘n’ roll, Australian music scene during and after World War II, American entrepreneur Lee Gordon’s arrival in Australian and his impact on the local entertainment business and the birth of the ‘teenager’. Read all about the artists from the early pioneers of Alan Dale, Johnny O’Keefe and Col Joye to the early Sixties stars like The Atlantics, The Denvermen, Little Pattie and Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs.

Download or read book J S Bach in Australia Studies in Reception and Performance written by Denis Collins and published by Lyrebird Press lyrebirdpress.music.unimelb.edu.au. This book was released on 2018-12-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to be dedicated to a study of the reception of a major European composer in Australia. Each of the eleven essays explores how J.S. Bach’s music has enriched Australian cultural life, from private performances in the early nineteenth century to historically informed realisations in recent years. The authors outline the challenges of mounting and sustaining this repertoire in the face of underdeveloped musical infrastructure and limited resources, and how these challenges have been overcome with determination and insight. Championed by imaginative individuals such as Ernest Wood and Leonard Fullard in Melbourne, E.H. Davies in Adelaide and W. Arundel Orchard in Sydney, Bach’s music has been a vehicle for the realisation of Australians’ cultural aspirations and a means of maintaining connections with traditions that continue to be cherished today.
