The Old Songs are Always New
Sydney University Press (Verlag)
978-1-74332-930-6 (ISBN)
In November 2009, Genevieve Campbell and eleven Tiwi colleagues travelled to Canberra to reclaim these archived songs and song texts. The Old Songs are Always New explores their return home to the Tiwi Islands and reveals that the fundamentally contemporary, topical and current nature of the Tiwi song culture has resulted in the preservation of a rich social, cultural and historical oral record.
Campbell describes the melody, rhythm, vocal technique, language, performance context and function of the twelve Tiwi song types, and gives an overview of the language and poetic devices used in song composition.
Genevieve Campbell has worked for 30 years as a professional French Horn player and since 2007 has been involved with senior Tiwi singers in musical collaboration which has resulted in numerous performances, recordings and study centred around the repatriation to the Tiwi community of ethnographic field recordings of Tiwi ceremony and song. Her recent Sydney University Fellowship at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and the Sydney Environment Institute focused on the role of Tiwi song and embodied knowledge in cultural maintenance, artistic creativity and community health. She is currently a Research Affiliate at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.
