2 books & a CD. This study provides a comprehensive description
of the rich song culture of the people in the Thule area in
Greenland, the Inughuit. In 1937 the archaeologist and folklorist
Erik Holtved recorded 134 traditional songs in Thule.
Transcriptions and scientific processing of this collection
constitute the nucleus of the work. Another collection of Inughuit
songs was recorded in 1962 for The Danish Folklore Archives by Bent
Jensen and the author. The songs from both collections are
presented and notated in full length and also with analyses of a
representative stanza from each song. Descriptions are given of
performing habits, singing methods, drum construction and handling,
as well as historical and recent data. Searching for resemblances
among other Inuit groups produced transcriptions and analyses of
many traditional Inuit Songs from different localities in Canada.
It was discovered that characteristic traits of the form and melody
types of the Inughuit are linked to Canadian Inuit groups in
southern Baffin Island and among the Copper Inuit in northern
Canada, documenting particular areas of origin, and also giving
information about migration routes. Many of the songs are presented
on the enclosed CD
