John Blacking is widely recognized for his theoretical works "How
Musical Is Man?" and "The Anthropology of the Body." This series of
essays and articles on the music of the Venda people of the
northern Transvaal in South Africa constitutes his major scholarly
legacy.
"Venda Children's Songs" presents a detailed analysis of both the
music and the cultural significance of children's songs among the
Venda. Among its many original contributions is the identifying of
the role of melody in generating rhythm, something that
distinguishes this form of music from that of Venda adults as well
as from other genres of African music in general.
