  • The Changeability of Musical Experience

    Klaus Wachsmann, Klaus P WachsmannARTICLEEthnomusicology1982Cited by: 1

    I greatly appreciate the honor of having been nominated to give the Distinguished Lecture at this meeting, especially because this annual series was initiated by my friend, the late Charles Seeger (1977:179-188). On that occasion, in 1976, Charles thought it appropriate to consider the making of a survey of the field of as a whole and to develop his view that, as he put it, musicology of whatever kind, is a speech study. To him, speech and music …

  • The Interrelations of Musical Instruments, Musical Forms, and Cultural Systems in Africa

    Klaus P Wachsmann, Russell KayARTICLETechnology and Culture1971

    The technological study of African music shows that instruments and forms are generally bound up with cultural systems. Interrelations among them can be traced at many different levels, although this discussion will be limited to only three of these. The level of social function is perhaps most accessible to us in these times of social turmoil. It is easy to see that an instrument can be said to reinforce the social order in all sorts of ways and…

  • Universal Perspectives in Music

    Klaus P WachsmannARTICLEEthnomusicology1971Cited by: 1

    I have looked carefully at the description of our topic; and it seems that it would be possible to talk about if we left out the word Professor McAllester's exposition on the heightening of experience has almost convinced me of that possibility. And it also occurred to me that we could leave in, but take universals out, with equal impunity. One could equally safely and fruitfully leave out both words-and this would leave us with perspectives, whe…

    In recent years, at conferences on the welfare of folk music, much comment could be heard on the rapidity and thoroughness of the changes which affect society today. However, there was no witch-hunting; the mood was not to blame but to understand. Although there was a feeling that it was pointless to resist this kind of change, there was also some mental reservation that some good might be done if the disruption of continuity in folk music could …

    out, with interruptions, over a period of five years; a systematic survey on disc and tape has been made, and there are now some 1,500 recorded items in the archives of the Museum. The survey was organized on a tribal basis, and we developed the programme to take account not only of musical aspects but of social functions. We feel that no more fieldwork should be done--except, of course, where gaps must be filled or specific tests carried out--an…
