| Abstract | This best-selling text covers ethnomusicology--the study of music in a people's way of life--around the world. Through geographical and historical context, biographies and autobiographies, discussions of instruments, transcriptions, song lyrics, and an extensive CD package, the authors approach diverse kinds of music with the desire to understand it on its own terms--as the people who make the music understand it. |
