Description

"This article analyses how text and music align in a set of Warlpiri women’s songs of the yawulyu genre from the Lander River region of central Australia (see map below). Turpin & Laughren (2013) identified constraints and preferences in how words are put to music in a corpus of 97 lines of Rain and Budgerigar yawulyu songs from this region. In this current paper we put these constraints and preferences to the test by analysing a further set of yawulyu songs from the region, the Kiirnpa song series." - Introduction, Made available via the Publications (Legal Deposit) Act 2004 (NT).,
