Composed by Trad. Arranged by Alan Edgar. This edition: pdf. Folk, Hanukkah. Individual part. 8 pages. Alan Edgar Ted Moon #1128192. Published by Alan Edgar Ted Moon (A0.1555817).
A random selection of 13 Australian Aboriginal tunes. Some lullabies, some chants, a love song, a dance. Australian Aboriginal culture includes no melody instruments except the voice, but folded Gum leaves can be blown like reed, and are sometimes used for the “cooey” greeting (a loud octave leap). The didgeridoo seems ubiquitous, as are pairs of sticks and small drums. March: we would say this is in mixolydian mode. Maranoa Lullaby is major pentatonic. In Praise of our Lovers: men sing in major mode. The first Chant is also major. The Women’s Song is very chromatic. Happy Place for our People begins with the welcoming “cooey” and continues in minor pentatonic. Next, another lullaby, the Mina Loranda in mixolydian. In the Kangaroo dance, we should hear first the didgeridoo, then men dance in imitation of kangaroos. Then, the Kangaroo Chase, perhaps in phrygian. Another Chant: the doleful Malayah. Little Boy Lost seems to be a hybrid of an ancient chant preceded by a more modern addition about the search: all in the major. Iah is a phrygian tune for singing and dancing. Lastly, an air from Arnhem, in the minor DURATION: 14 minutes.
