Originally published in 1982. The songs on which this study is
based were once vibrant in the throats and ears and minds of living
people. This book examines the songs and their meanings in relation
to the lives of those people, and relates them to the cultural
tradition and practice of which they were an integral part. The art
of village song represents a sense of cohesiveness and mutual
identity around local patterns of kinship, social groupings,
territorial orientations and cultural relationships. The actual
ways in which songs were part of village life is of course highly
problematic, but this book endeavours, most of all, to present an
understanding of the place of song in the social life of villagers.
