>explain the initial assumptions, and indicate probable results.
>
>Three essential points will be touched upon: A) 
>music is always partisan; no music ever was 
>meant for universal appeal, B) why study 
>immigrant music and the musical horizon of 
>immigrants, C) why examine musical behaviour of 
>(of all people) Italian, the Maltese, and French-speaking groups in Canberra.
