About this product
Product Information
This is a comprehensive approach to music from the point of view of anthropology. The author maintains that ethnomusicology, by definition, must not divorce the sound-analysis of music from its cultural context of people thinking, acting, and creating.

Reviews
"With great thoroughness, Merriam has pointed out to anthropologists how much they can contribute to our general knowledge of music as human experience." -- American Anthropologist, "For the broad perspective it provides of man as music-maker, as also for the lucid rsum of past and present appraoches to this subject which it presents, Merriam's new book should, I think, be treated as essential reading both within the social sciences and the humanities." -- Man, "For the broad perspective it provides of man as music-maker, as also for the lucid résumé of past and present appraoches to this subject which it presents, Merriam's new book should, I think, be treated as essential reading both within the social sciences and the humanities." -- Man, "For the broad perspective it provides of man as music-maker, as also for the lucid rsum of past and present appraoches to this subject which it presents, Merriam's new book should, I think, be treated as essential reading both within the social sciences and the humanities." -- Man, "...Merriam's book, seen from the viewpoint of anthropology, is deserving of the highest respect." -- Ethnomusicology
