Friday. May 7. |9b5 iSCARLET AND BLACK Aboriginal Music Topic of lecture By Sue Barquist Dr. Richard A. Waterman, an ethnomusicologist at Wayne State University, recently gave a lec- ture entitled “Music in the Life of the Australian Aborigine." Dr. Waterman is both a distin- guished anthropologist and profes- sional musician (as amply demon- strated in a Langan basement jam. session with the jug band). Waterman said that music's main function for aborigine is to hold the society on its own par ticular path of life. The music life cycle begins with women’s cert!» monial wailing at birth. followed by children's songs of the same sort. Children sing when playing games, etc. These songs teach chil- dren about their environment and help them learn to speak. As the child begins to observe the ceremonies of the group he be- comes familiar with Karma songs. These simple songs are history and religious lessons, as they are about hunting, ancestors, and cus- toms. Another group or songs includes those song for pure entertainment purposes by the bachelors in the group. They are simple and ac- companied by much clowning. Other categories include men's sacred songs and women’s wailing rind general, multipurpose. magi- cal chants. The entire audience felt an im» mediate admiration for the abori- gine when Waterman explained that planning ahead is looked up- on as wrong trom their ethical Viewpoint. They do not grow or store food and do not even build shelters for the wet season until alter it has started to rain.
