Abstract
Offers a preliminary approach to Barry Conyngham's work from the perspective of the theory of musical topics, focusing on his city-themed works. It proposes that Connyngham has created an expressive vocabulary to signify the Australian city experience and recognises his initiative as a "profoundly anti-essentialist gesture".
