Description:Tape# 1: Musical Experiences and Journey of Pastor Martin and Kiso. Side A: Pastor Doug Martin was recruited from Australia to be a music educator and christian ministry teacher with Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) College at Kambubu, East New Britain in 1958 at the age 30. His wife was a nurse who was employed with the SDA Church run Health Centre at Kambubu. Pastor Martin's background experience was in singing evangelism, choirs conducting musicianship. He was instrumental with the New Guinea Adventist Male Choir know as "Jones Missionary College Kambubu". He also mentored and Female Choir and both entered the Rabaul Choir Festival and achieved first prize awards in the many years of the competitions in the 1960s' under Pastor Martin's musicianship and stewardship. In 1965 he retired and returned to Sydney, Australia then back to his home town in Lismore, Northern NSW. He continued in his retirement years with his music education work and consulting to PNG, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu with his connection to his SDA church programs and his former students where in positions of authority to re-engage him for continuation of music education. The experiences and continuing music education of Pastor Martin with many former students like Kiso of Mussau Island, Kavieng, New Ireland resulted again in 1987 when he conducted further training with his designed course called "Pacific Islands Music Education". Other choir conductors from other churches also attended. Some feedback from former students and the choir community generally at the training expressed that the influences and impact of music in the communities has contributed to minimal social problems with youths and adults by engaging and expressing themselves in choirs and singing in the people's social, spiritual development and wellbeing. Side B: Pastor Martin conducted the one week Music training in Rabaul in 1987 that encouraged planning the next PNG music seminar coordinated by Kiso as agreed by the participants. The Solomon Islands and Vanuatu course was also planned for 1988 by Pastor Martin. In late 1964, the New Guinea Adventist Male Choir of Kambubu did a concert tour of east coast Australia in major capital cities Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne and regional cities and towns in Queensland and NSW. Part of the concerts included presentation of New Guinea from SDA missionary arrival to modern life in 1960s'.The repertoire of songs were from church worship hymns, classical choir songs, negro spiritual, christmas carols and selected PNG songs. In early 1965, the Choir recording was made in Australia after the concert tour. (Steven Gagau, November 2019). Language as given:
