Vanishing Songs: How Musical Extinctions Threaten the Planet
The 2009 Laurence Picken Memorial Lecture, given to commemorate the centenary of the eminent British musicologist, Dr Laurence Picken (1909–2007), draws on recent linguistic research into endangered languages to advance the view that the extinction of musical traditions is a tragedy not just for those who lose them, but also for the whole of humanity. Reflecting on the scientific nature of Picken's research corpus, and drawing on his own experien…
Research on Early Notations for the History of Tωgaku and Points of Scholarly Contention in their Interpretation
It is now almost forty years since Laurence Picken first suggested that present-day performances of tωgaku-the repertory of Japanese court music (gagaku) that was originally imported from Tang China to Japan during the seventh to the ninth centuries-bear little or no resemblance to Chinese music of the Tang period (618-907 CE), or indeed any subsequent period. This was the first time that any scholar had challenged the ideology that modern tωgaku…

Ghostly Voices: Some Observations on Song-Creation, Ceremony and Being in NW Australia
Wangga songs are given to songmen by ghosts in dreams. By singing these songs in ceremony songmen at Belyuen gain power over the ghosts of the recently dead and thereby conduct them away from human society. This paper argues that it is the replication not only of the melodies, rhythms and words of the ghost-given songs, but also the voice of the song-giving ghost itself that gives the singer his power. While the accumulation of spiritual power th…

Bunggridj-bunggridj: Wangga Songs from Northern Australia
Musica Asiatica
This is the sixth volume in a series of books devoted to the history, documentation and analysis of music in Asia. Four essays are dedicated to documents from the past: fifth-century Korean tomb paintings; tenth-century Chinese scores for lute; eighth-century Japanese documents; early Chinese sutras on the perception of sound. The remainder concern contemporary documents: the notations of the Japanese end-blown flute (shakuhachi) and lute (biwa) …
Wangga songs of northwest Australia: Reflections on the performance of aboriginal music at the symposium of the international musicological society '88
This critical examination of presentations of Aboriginal music at the Symposium of the International Musicological Society in Melbourne in 1988 discusses a number of issues concerning representational politics. A paper written by Marett in association with Aboriginal performers, Martin Anggalitji Warrigal and Robert Ilyerre Daly and presented immediately prior to a performance by Warrigal and Daly of wangga songs from northwest Australia, is pres…
In search of the lost melodies of Tang China: An account of recent research and its implications for the history and analysis of Tōgaku
Recent research into early sources for Tōgaku, a repertory of music imported into Japan from China during the seventh to the ninth centuries and performed to this day at the Japanese court, has yielded findings with important implications for both the history and analysis of this ancient genre. The present paper is an account of how, through the work of a number of scholars, the research has unfolded: Laurence Picken's early discovery of links be…
Togaku: Where Have the Tang Melodies Gone, and Where Have the New Melodies Come from
The Waves of Kokonor: A Dance-Tune of the T'ang Dynasty
Between the sixth and ninth centuries, a massive importation of exotira in general and of music in particular into China occurred, as the cultural defenses of the Chinese fell before the rising popularity of Buddhism, among the population at large as well as in high places. This invasion of foreign cultural elements was conspicuous already in the Sui period, and it became even more marked during the T'ang dynasty (618-905). The title: 'Waves of K…
