Studies in Musicology II: 1929-1979
Studies in Musicology II: 1929-1979
Henry Cowell called Charles Seeger greatest musical explorer in intellectual fields which America has produced, the greatest experimental musicologist. This collection of Seeger's essays, together with Studies in Musicology, 1935-1975, constitutes a major selected edition of the work of a man who was an international figure in every sphere of music. Both volumes contain deeply philosophical essays on subjects ranging over the entire musical spect…

The Musicological Juncture: 1976
In initiating this series of addresses to be given at annual meetings of our Society, it has seemed to me appropriate to consider the making of a survey of the field of musicology as a whole, what we are doing in it and what may be its potentialities for growth in coming years. Such a survey would accord with what has become an axiom of our study: that everything should be studied in its context. And it seems to be all the more appropriate at the…
Reflections upon a Given Topic: Music in Universal Perspective
On the Formational Apparatus of the Music Compositional Process
This paper was first drafted as a sequel to another, On the Moods of a Music Logic (Seeger 1960). Its revamping at the present time has been encouraged by the first session of the annual meeting of the Society for Ethnomusicology at Santa Monica, California, November 22, 1968, at which papers were read by Norma McLeod and Marcia Hemdon proposing, respectively, a redefinition of the phrase and a linguistic-type transformational grammar for music t…

On the Tasks of Musicology (Comments on Merriam, "Purposes of Ethnomusicology")
In his paper, Mr. Merriam has set out to box the compass of ethnomusicological endeavour in this year of 1962. I am sure that most of us exhibit symptoms of the White Knight, Dutiful Preserver, Communicator and Shotgunner concepts simultaneously and to divers extents. Few, I take it, are infected with but one alone. None of us will be surprised that he has his own ideas on the subject. And we will, of course, rejoice that he has arrived at these …
Who Owns Folklore?-A Rejoinder
Music as a Tradition of Communication Discipline and Play
Among the many predicates commonly ascribed to music-that it is an art, a physical, physiological, psychological or cultural phenomenon, a mysterious and beautiful, but evanescent and intangible, phantasy, a weapon in the class struggle, a means of personal expression, a source of the aesthetic experience, a useful thing, a meaningless sounding brass and tinkling cymbal, a satanic temptress of the idle mind, a profession, a hobby, a business, etc…
Semantic, Logical and Political Considerations Bearing upon Research in Ethnomusicology
1.1 Two meanings of the term ethnomusicology are current. One equates the prefix ethno- with the adjective ethnic, meaning barbarous, nonChristian, exotic; the other, with the prefix ethno-, as in ethnology. The former implies that the study now known as ethnomusicology is limited to musics other than its students' own; the latter, that it is limited to the cultural functions of music

THE PHENOMENA to which I shall direct attention seem to exhibit two large historical processes that have been taking place throughout the New World since the advent of Europeans. The first has accompanied prolonged contact of masses of individuals carrying different music-cultural traditions, or musics. To this process the term has been given. For lack of music-technical and culture-historical terms with which to designate such large, comparative…

Systematic and Historical Orientations in Musicology
able to proceed with the assurance of scholars in the field of the fine arts. An almost revolutionary change in the methods of history of art took place about a generation ago, and all signs point to the fact that we are about to follow the example set by our confreres. Hence, the first task of the modem musicologist will begin where the old school stopped; we shall consider the necessary painstaking historical investigation as a mere prelude to …
