Song and dance style--viewed as nonverbal communications about
culture--are here related to social structure and cultural history.
Patterns of performance, theme, text and movement are analyzed in
large samples of films an recordings from the whole range of human
culture, according to the methods explained in this volume.
Cantometrics, which means song as a measure of man, finds that
traditions of singing trace the main historic distributions of
human culture and that specific traits of performance are
communications about identifiable aspects of society. The
predictable and universal relations between expressive
communication and social organization, here established for the
first time, open up the possibility of a scientific aesthetics,
useful to planners.
