About the Author :
Allan Marett is a professor emeritus of musicology at the University of Sydney and is a former director of the National Recording Project for Traditional Performance in Australia. Linda Barwick is an associate professor at the School of Letters, Art and Media at the University of Sydney and director of PARADISEC (The Pacific and Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures). Lysbeth Ford is an honorary research associate in the Linguistics Department at the University of Sydney.

Review :
‘The reader is struck by both the great amount of detail that finds its way into the book, and by a sense of clarity and conciseness in the way that material is presented ... For the Sake of a Song is a valuable summary of more than twenty years of research undertaken jointly and independently by Marett, Barwick and Ford. The need for this book may be seen not only in the cultural value of the performance practice and the wealth of accumulated knowledge that the authors provide, but also by the need to document a performance practice that exists today in a very precarious state.’ ‘This publication is a truly remarkable compilation of songs from one of Australia's unique performance traditions, born from a deep attachment to land. The text, audio and images are brought together superbly. For the Sake of a Song is a must for anyone seeking a greater understanding of Aboriginal music, poetry and song.’
