What is The Oxford Companion To Australian Music about?

"The Oxford Companion to Australian Music, a major addition to the range of Oxford music reference books, will be of great interest to music lovers, as well as to musicians, scholars, and students. To date no volume has combined biographical information about key musicians, an interpretative account of Australia's musical heritage, a critical guide to compositions and recordings, and a guide to the burgeoning scholarly literature in the field."--BOOK JACKET. "The Companion, with more than two thousand entries, written by 180 contributors, ranges across a wide spectrum, from ancient Aboriginal traditions and European-derived orchestral, operatic and concert music, to Australian folk, jazz, country, popular, rock, electronic, and experimental music. It covers the music not only of mainstream audiences but also of Australia's religious denominations and recent immigrant communities."--BOOK JACKET. "Famous subjects include Nellie Melba, Peter Dawson, Percy Grainger, Peggy Glanville-Hicks, Gladys Moncrieff, Joan Sutherland, Richard Bonynge, Barry Tuckwell, Charles Mackerras, Yvonne Kenny, Peter Allen, Olivia Newton-John, Robyn Archer, Reg Livermore, Stuart Challender, and John Farnham.
