Past Research

Research on Australian Composition 

An important focus of research at the School of Music has been on the music of Australian composers. These studies have made a significant contribution to our understanding not only of Australia's musical history, but of the musical materials, techniques and interests of composers in Australia. Recent dissertations and work in progress on Australian composers include:

  • Allan Walker (current) – The later music of Keith Humble 
  • Kate Bowan (2007) - Roy Agnew and Brewster Jones
  • Bradley Cummings (2004) - "The foundations of style in the early concert music of Don Banks"
  • Judith Crispin (2004) – “Pillars of the Temple: the Busoni-Sitsky Esoteric Tradition”
  • Dr. Crispin's book, The Esoteric Musical Tradition of Feruccion Busoni and its Reinvigoration in the Music of Larry Sitsky , was published in 2007 by the Edwin Mellen Press.
