Description We begin before time. Ritual chant from Arnhem Land carried by young Indigenous cultural leaders. Ancient rites morph into contemporary Australian song, and somewhere in between, a halo of sound from exquisite instruments, the flicker of time we
call Western European culture. Traditional Yolngu chant, contemporary songs by Emily Wurramara and Yirrmal Marika, works by Bach, Mudarra, Simpson, with Folia and other variations, performed by Indigenous singers and entire instrumental ensemble (pg 66,67)
