Although a prolific and much esteemed composer in Australia, John Antill's wider reputation is sustained chiefly by his ballet Corroboree - a work which was perceived to bring an authentic Australian musical style before both a national and international audience for the first time. David Symons traces Antill's development as a composer from his early, pre-Corroboree works through an analysis of the virile, dissonant, primitivist idiom of his magnum opus, to an examination of his later output. The book not only presents a developmental picture of Antill's works, but also demonstrates why they have made him one of Australia's most prominent musical creators of the post-colonial period.
David Symons is an Associate Professor of Music in the School of Music, The University of Western Australia. His major published research since the 1990s has been in the field of post-colonial Australian art music and includes a monograph, The Music of Margaret Sutherland, together with a number of articles, book chapters and encyclopaedia entries on Australian music of the period from Federation to 1960.
