Unknown Author

4.9/5 (11702 ratings)

Description:"This book is the direct result of extensive discussions, telephone calls and correspondence with many colleagues. At the annual meeting of the Society for Ethnomusicology in 1971, a number of people came to gather in a casual discussion of the needs of ethnomusicology. A number of areas were identified at that time, with agreement that the immediate need was for a comprehensive textbook for introductory courses in ethnomusicology. Although is was recognized that several good books are available, no one book had, to that point of time, attempted a synthesis of both the cultural and musical aspects of ethnomusicology. In preparing this book, we have drawn upon wide range of examples from various areas of the world. We have not made any attempt to cover all of the geographic areas, or to arrive at a fair sampling of representative examples from the entire world. Instead, the strategy has been to use examples from our own field work which covers everything from urban musics, to peasant musics, to those of hunting and gathering societies."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging. And by having access to our ebooks online or by storing it on your computer, you have convenient answers with Music as culture. To get started finding Music as culture, you are right to find our website which has a comprehensive collection of manuals listed.
