Ethnomusicology

This volume contains biographies of outstanding pioneers of ethnomusicology such as Alexander Ellis, Carl Stumpf, Jaap Kunst, and George Herzog. More than 100 other portraits, a history of ethnomusicology, a chronology of events, and relevant issues are included.

Originally published in cloth as part of the seven-volume set of the Garland library of readings in ethnomusicology.

Surveying the field he helped establish, Bruno Nettl investigates how concepts such as evolution, geography, and history serve as catalysts for advancing ethnomusicological methods and perspectives.
