SYDNEY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Concertmaster: Donald Hazelwood Conducted by; John Lanchbery Produced by: Eric Clapham Sound Engineer: Barry Smith Project Co-ordinator: Michael Bowden Recorded by the Australian Broadcasting Commission in their Sydney Music Studios.
ANNOTATION BY THE COMPOSER: A feature of Australian Aboriginal life is the dance ceremony known as the Corroboree. The Aborigine is the master of mimicry and burlesque, and the Corroboree generally takes the form of realistic imitations of humans and animals. Any current event may furnish the theme from which the "tribal" poets, musicians and actors produce the ceremony, which is usually of very elaborate proportions. Everyone in the camp, men, women and children take part, but, as a general, the dancing is confined to the men. The performances take place after sundown, in the glow of camp fires, creating a most impressive atmosphere and causing great excitement.
