<br/><br/> John Antill (1904-1986) was one of the foremost composers of Australia's 'post-colonial period'. Although a relatively prolific and much esteemed composer in Australia, Antill's wider reputation is sustained chiefly by his famous 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, which display a late Romantic to post-impressionist style, through an analysis of the virile, dissonant, 'primitivist' idiom of his magnum opus, to an examination of his later output of theatrical, orchestral and vocal/choral works.
