Book excerpt: This 1893 study of the music, instruments and dance of the world's indigenous peoples reflects the Victorian view that human development moved from primitive to complex along a linear evolutionary path. Despite this standpoint, it was an important contribution to comparative musicology in the late nineteenth century, demonstrating the principle that studying the music of non-European cultures and societies could help Europeans understand their own musical tradition. On the basis of his comparative analysis, Wallaschek developed a theory that music originated from rhythm and dance rather than the melody of speech. His proposed model moved forward that of Wagner, and recognised that music is embedded as a fundamental element of social interaction. The book describes music and instruments around the world, the role of singing and dance, and tonality and harmony, before discussing the origin of music and the role of heredity and external circumstances on musicality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Eskimos get into an argument, their friends and relatives break it up. The combatants retire for several hours, and then each antagonist returns to plead his case by singing a song about it; the most impressive singer is adjudged victor by the rest of the tribe. In such ways as this does music function in primitive societies--as part of legal proceedings, religion, dances, funerals. Today, the vast body of primitive music, so valuable to composers from advanced cultures and intrinsically so interesting, is being studied extensively. This book is the first in English to bring together the widely scattered information on this important branch of ethnomusicology, or comparative musicology. The author considers methods of research, primitive musical instruments, and techniques of primitive performance of music, and he gives sixty short examples of music illustrating typical styles. He discusses such things as techniques of primitive composition and the criteria used by natives to determine "good" singers and songs, and he analyzes and classifies the traits of many different primitive styles, especially those of Africa and North America. Also included is a concise survey of the development of ethnomusicology from its origin in nineteenth-century Germany, as well as a summary of the amount of research done in all parts of the world. There is also an extensive list of books and articles available on the subject.

Excerpt: ...continue to describe their general character by adding a few examples from Central and South America. The dance of the Klarheywey (Zunian, South Mexico) consists of two parts, distinguished by different songs and different movements. Both parts are danced to vocal music, which is in the first part accompanied by a drum, in the second by a number of horns.3 The Iroquois had thirty-two different dances, twenty-six of which were entirely original, while only twenty-one are still in use.4 They were all accompanied with music, song and dance alternating. During a war-dance a war-whoop was given by the leader and answered by the entire company. It was a prolonged sound upon a high note, with a decadence near the end, followed by an abrupt explosive conclusion, in which the voice was raised again to the original pitch.5 The frequency with which the Iroquois danced in a circle caused Baker to think it was meant to represent the course of the sun, which the Indians worship;x but we have seen this circular dance among so many tribes and on all continents where the sun is not worshipped, that this conclusion does not necessarily follow. It appears to me rather that the circular form is adopted (if intentionally adopted at all) for the same reason that we have adopted it in our games: to keep the company together, and to concentrate in an equal degree the interest of all participants on the object of the play. Moreover, many kinds of birds dance thus in circles 2 (e.g., Tetrao phasianellus) without worshipping the sun. 1 Chamberlain, /. c, p. I5g. a Chamisso, /. c, p. 20. 3 Fewkes, Sum.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Audio Files located on Soundcloud Essential Song: Three Decades of Northern Cree Music, a study of subarctic Cree hunting songs, is the first detailed ethnomusicology of the northern Cree of Quebec and Manitoba. The result of more than two decades spent in the North learning from the Cree, Lynn Whidden’s account discusses the tradition of the hunting songs, their meanings and origins, and their importance to the hunt. She also examines women’s songs, and traces the impact of social change—including the introduction of hymns, Gospel tunes, and country music—on the song traditions of these communities. The book also explores the introduction of powwow song into the subarctic and the Crees struggle to maintain their Aboriginal heritage—to find a kind of song that, like the hunting songs, can serve as a spiritual guide and force. Including profiles of the hunters and their songs and accompanied (online) by original audio tracks of more than fifty Cree hunting songs, Essential Song makes an important contribution to ethnomusicology, social history, and Aboriginal studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this study is to increase understanding of folk music within an historical, European framework, and to show the genre as a dynamic and changing art form. The book addresses a plethora of questions through its detailed examination of a wide range of music from vastly different national and cultural identities. It attempts to elucidate the connections between, and the varying development of, the music of peoples throughout Europe, firstly by examining the ways in which scholars of different ideological and artistic ambitions have collected, studied and performed folk music, then by investigating the relationship between folk and popular music. Jan Ling is Professor of Musicology at Göteborg University, Sweden.
