Author(s): George Dreyfus

Judaica

Don't Ever Let Them Get You! is a book about the Holocaust, reconciliation and faith in the face of commercial pressures, the imperative of instant appeal and the moral vacuum of the post-modern age. George Dreyfus provides answers to the question of survival as a composer in the face of life's slings and arrows. Unabashedly he places himself at the centre of half a century of serious and not-so-serious music-making in Australia, including his ground-breaking involvement with Aboriginal music in the 1960s as remembered by Jennifer Isaacs.
