Description: | Yiwarruj (church) songs at Minjilang. Choral songs (mainly female group) accompanied by guitar (played by man). Most songs are harmonised in thirds and in a slow tempo. | |
This project documents, in as full a cultural context as is possible, the Iwaidja language of the Cobourg Peninsula, Northern Territory, Australia (Iwaidjan language family, non-Pama-Nyungan), still spoken by around 200 people but under increasing threat from English, as well as recording material from other languages of the region (Marrgu, Ilgar/ Garig, Amurdak and Manangkari) which are all reduced to one or two speakers each. In addition to linguists, the research team will include specialists in ethnomusicology, material culture / archaeology, and social anthropology, and will result in a comprehensive, searchable and browsable sound and video documentation, with Iwaidja transcriptions and subtitles alongside English translations, an Iwaidja dictionary of around 5,000 words, detailed phonetic analysis, and briefer materials on other languages of the area. | ||
This session contains three yiwarruj church songs sung by a large group and recorded on video by Bruce Birch. | ||
The yiwarruj song texts are in Iwaidja and/or Gunwinggu. | ||
The yiwarruj songs were sung by a large group of people, too many to enumerate here. Joy Williams was one of them. | ||
DV tape recorded by Bruce Birch. No mpeg file created, but individual WAV files have been excerpted for each song. | ||
