Abstract

Alex Gibb and Meaghan Loader's case-study of the establishment of the Martenitsa Choir in Sydney, as a vocal ensemble dedicated to the performance of Bulgarian women's choral music, gives a more contemporary account of the transplantation of musical styles and the nature of what might be described as 'uprooted' folkloric practices
