The Cambridge Companion to Folk Music
A groundbreaking critical introduction to folk music and song focused on questions of identity, community, representation, politics, and popular culture. Written by a distinguished international team of authors, this Companion is an indispensable resource for rethinking the confluence of sound, heritage, and identity in the twenty-first century. A unique addition to the literature, it highlights the fundamentally hybrid and (post)colonial dynamic…
Folklife, Heritage, and the Environment
From a folklife perspective, I address consequences of thinking of the environment as natural capital that provides ecosystem services to people: services that include heritage, both cultural and natural. I examine contemporary environmental policy to reveal advantages and limitations in thinking of folklife and heritage as ecosystem services, and a need to think beyond ecosystem services to ways that folklore studies may contribute to ecojustice…
Ecojustice, Religious Folklife and a Sound Ecology
Folk, traditional, and indigenous ecological knowledges have a significant role to play in ecojustice. A case study in the traditional ecological knowledge among one of the religious communities with whom I have spent several decades illustrates how they embody the main principle and three fields of an ecological rationality: the community of inter-related beings; the ways the beings participate in that community or place; and the relations of na…
Svanibor Pettan
Svanibor Pettan is that rare kind of gentleman who immediately puts his acquaintances at ease and encourages them to feel as if they'd known him for a long time. These qualities have enabled him to succeed in helping to make the world a better place through music, and in helping his colleagues in Europe and abroad to mobilize around the field of applied ethnomusicology. For Svanibor, this has meant taking ethnomusicology beyond mere scholarship –…
Exhibiting Music in a Sound Community
Exhibiting music in a sound community announces the presence and potential of an ecological rationality. Two or more beings co-present to each other in sound resonate at the same frequency with one another and comprise a sound community. Co-presence in sound is intersubjective and relational, a subject-to-subject resonant and reciprocal way of knowing, rather than a subject-to-object, asymmetrical and manipulative knowledge. In a sound community …
Orality, Commonality, Commons, Sustainability, and Resilience
Folklore studies of orality (sound) and commonality (commons) suggest a contribution to the current heritage discourse that emphasizes collective values rather than (economic) value, stewardship rather than ownership, and resilience as a strategy to help sustain a community's expressive culture

Ethnomusicology as the Study of People Making Music
This essay defines ethnomusicology as the study of people making music. People make sounds that are recognized as music, and people also make "music" into a cultural domain. The essay contrasts this idea of music as a contingent cultural category with earlier scientific definitions that essentialized music as an object

Music and the Us War on Poverty
Jesus reportedly said that "the poor will be always with us" (Matthew 26:11) but, brimming with confidence after the Second World War, sociologists and economic policymakers in the United States dared to think otherwise. In a modern, affluent society, poverty was embarrassing. Social critics used to believe individuals were poor because they were unlucky or lazy or stupid, but mid-twentieth century sociologists saw the causes as cultural: if soci…

Letter from Ole Bull to Sara Thorp Jeff Todd Titon, Professor of Music and Director of the Ph.D. program in ethnomusicology (bio) The following undated letter from the famous nineteenth-century Norwegian violin virtuoso, Ole Bull, to the American, Sara Thorp (later Sara Thorp Bull), was found among the papers of Sara Bull in Madison, Wisconsin. Internal evidence suggests that the letter was written early in the year 1869. Whether it ever was post…

Knowing Fieldwork
Epistemology is that field of inquiry whose subject is the origins, nature, and limits of human knowing (see Rorty 1979:140). An epistemology for ethnomusicology is therefore concerned with the origins, nature, and limits of human knowledge concerning music in human life. An epistemology for ethnomusicology attempts to answer two basic questions: What can we know about music, and how can we know it? Not long ago, musical transcription was the dis…
Bi-Musicality as Metaphor
Plaidoyer en faveur de la bi-musicalite qui permet non seulement de savoir jouer deux types de musique distincts mais aussi de mieux comprendre le sens de la musique, la creation musicale de tout autre groupe musical, communautaire, culturel. Cette bi-musicalite conduit parfois a un transfert de sujet (« subject shift ») : une personne se met dans la peau d'une autre

Big Road Blues
This book analyzes the process of composition, learning and performance of the Southern folk blues of black America. Never before has this musical form been examined so scrupulously. Evans traces the impact of commercialism, especially the phonograph record, on blues history, as well as the various local traditions that produce a given blues tune and text. The author has done extensive field work in Mississippi and provides here a structure for u…
The Life Story
A LIFE STORY IS, simply, a person's story of his or her life, or of what he or she thinks is a significant part of that life. It is therefore a narrative, a story of experience, and, as it emerges from conversation, its ontological status is the spoken word, even if the story is transcribed and edited for the printed page. The storyteller trusts the listener(s) and the listener respects the storyteller, not interrupting the train of thought until…

Representation and Authority in Ethnographic Film/Video
ecent discussions the anthropological literature point out ethical and epistemological problems that arise when ethnographers assume the authority to represent others articles and books. The epistemological problems relate to the paradox of translation: how can an ethnographer make the strange familiar, yet keep it strange? In other words, if a musicculture is truly very different from one's own, how is it possible to understand it in its own if …

A Song from the Holy Spirit
T S. Eliot's observation, made more than fifty years ago, that T poems result from a combination of tradition with the individual talent (Eliot 1932), has gained general acceptance among literary critics; and I imagine most ethnomusicologists would agree with Eliot's formulation as regards poetry's twin, song. The view that music cultures acquire new songs by borrowing and by individual composition amounts to essentially the same analysis as Elio…
