2. Powne, in Addis Ababa between 1954 and 1960, discovered that the only substantial treatment of Ethiopian music was the article by Francois-Marie-Casimir Mondon-Vidailhet entitled “La musique ethiopienne” published in the Lavignac Encyclopédic de la musique et dictionnaire du Conservatoire, premiere partie (Paris, 1922).Google Scholar
3. The cathedral has an electronic organ, an organized girls choir, and broadcasts regular programs on the two local medium-band radio stations. Informants from almost any of the more than forty Ethiopian Orthodox churches in Addis Ababa would have been most valuable, and a request for a representative sampling of a passage of liturgical chant (e.g., a fragment of the deggwa zema from each of the three modes) would have proved most illuminating.Google Scholar
