Towards the Comparative Study of the Structure of Traditional Repertoires
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 March 2019
Extract
A major characteristic of ethnomusicology is that it deals with bodies of music, or repertories, variously defined. In contrast to the kind of music-historical studies which involve the works of one composer, or which concentrate on important single, individual compositions, ethnomusicological studies deal primarily with corpora of music which originate from one culture, or which are used by one culture for a particular purpose. Thus, the study of a tribal style, or of the style of a functional group of songs or pieces such as ballads or funeral songs, is the central type of publication in this field.
