Chippewa Music
0 - Default Title
Description
Originally published as two separate volumes by the Bureau of American Ethnology in 1910 and 1913, this work by the renowned ethnologist Frances Densmore, has become a classic. This new edition in one volume contains all of the information originally presented in its first publication. In addition, a solid and perceptive new introduction by the highly capable ethno-musicologist, Thomas Vennum, Jr., is included to assist in placing Densmore's work into modern perspective.
The title Chippewa Music is a bit misleading. While the work is indeed a study of "Chippewa Music," it uses music as a vehicle for the study of the cultural history and traditions of the Chippewa (Ojibway) Indians. Chippewa Music serves as an ideal companion volume for Ross and Haines' earlier republication of Frances Densmore's more general work, Chippewa Customs. For those that have found Chippewa Customs a useful and valuable study, this current volume will take them to a greater insight and understanding of the fascinating and important world of the Ojibway.
Volume One is titled Chippewa Music (Smithsonian Institution Bureau Of American Ethnology Bulletin 45) with 216 pages. Volume Two is titled Chippewa Music Two (Smithsonian Institution Bureau Of American Ethnology Bulletin 53) with 341 pages.
