Designed as a tribute to Robert Garfias, who has conducted field
work in more cultures than any other living ethnomusicologist, this
volume explores the originating encounter in field work of
ethnomusicologists with the musicians and musical traditions they
study. The nineteen contributors provide case studies from nearly
every corner of the world, including biographies of important
musicians from the Philippines, Turkey, Lapland, and Korea;
interviews with, and reports of learning from, musicians from
Ireland, Bulgaria, Burma, and India; and analyses of how
traditional musicians adapt to the encounter with modernity in
Japan, India, China, Turkey, Afghanistan, Morocco, and the United
States. The book also provides a window into the history of
ethnomusicology since all the contributors have had a relationship
with the University of Washington, home to one of the oldest
programs in ethnomusicology in the United States. Inspired by the
example of Robert Garfias, they are all indefatigable field
researchers and among the leading authorities in the world on their
particular musical cultures. The contributions illustrate the core
similarities in their approach to the discipline of ethnomusicology
and at the same time deal with a remarkably wide range of
perspectives, themes, issues, and theoretical questions. Readers
should find this collection of essays a fascinating, indeed
surprising, glimpse into an important aspect of the history of
ethnomusicology.
