Aboriginal musicians receive songs both from an eternal realm known as The Dreaming and from the ghosts of deceased ancestors. "Songs, Dreamings, and Ghosts" is the first in-depth study of Wangga, a musical and ceremonial genre of Aboriginal people of the Daly Region of Northern Australia. This work is a labor of love, the culmination of nearly 20 years of field work and research by renowned ethnomusicologist Allan Marett, and represents the only comprehensive documentation of a single major genre of Aboriginal music. With first-hand, in-depth knowledge of Northwest Australia's Aboriginal cultures, Marett provides the reader with a penetrating description and analysis of this compelling musical practice. This book makes a significant contribution to our knowledge of Aboriginal studies and gives us a rare glimpse into traditions and cultures relatively unknown in the U.S. This book includes illustrations, musical examples, and a CD loaded with previously unrecorded samples of this fascinating music, closely linked to the text.
