Excerpt from the introduction: I would like to begin to explore the middle ground between the poles we usually term ‘composition’ and ‘improvisation.’ While these terms themselves point at what we might say are pure or idealized polar opposites (in terms of the music-creation methodologies they describe), in actuality there is no way to ever completely separate them. Even the most ‘composed’ (i.e., written-down, through-composed, and/or predetermined) music has some elements of free and flexible interpretation; and even the most spontaneous improvised creations often have what some practitioners (and listeners) of this music would agree is a ‘compositional’ coherence, integrity, or intention.

“Intraoral Pressure and Its Relationship to Velopharyngeal Inadequacy”,
Cleft Palate Journal, Volume 25, Number 3, July 1988, pages 210–219.
One citation: Breath Pressure in Ethnic Wind Instruments Abstract: Intraoral pressure measurements were made during multiple productions of the word "hamper" by each of 267 patients who manifested differing degrees of velopharyngeal inadequacy. The results indicate that intraoral pressure diminishes as the extent of velopharyngeal impairment increases. However, pressure remained above 3 cm H20 in the majority of subjects, even when the impairment was such that intraoral and intranasal pressures were essentially equal. Comparison of these results with model simulations suggests that speakers make adjustments to velopharyngeal impairment that tend to maintain pressures at levels thought to be necessary for obstruent consonant production. Variations in pressure as a function of gender and age parallel those observed in normal children and adults. [Dalton 2009]

Purchase of Manhattan: For Three Solo Voices, Chorus, American Indian Singers, Orchestra and Native American Flute,
2014.
See the Purchase of Manhattan web site
Publisher's description: Purchase of Manhattan is exquisitely scored for three solo voices, chorus, American Indian singers, orchestra and Native American flute, by preeminent Mohican composer, Brent Michael Davids, in collaboration with celebrated Abenaki author, Joseph Bruchac, for the libretto. The music interlaces American Indian and Western European styles in a hybrid mix that is exuberant and dazzling; it’s an amalgamated compositional style that classical music critic Bill Parker describes as “never glib or facile, but rich in resonance.” As a Mohican from a tribe once residing in lower Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx, the composer’s lyrical conjuring of early Lenape life is unique and bold. Similar to his creations for Chanticleer and Kronos Quartet, we straightaway grasp the opera’s primal earthiness amid the sparkling orchestration. [Davidson 1997]

Theories of Rhythm and Meter and their Pedagogical Implications for Non-Pitched Percussion Music — With an Analysis of William Kraft's French Suite,
Doctoral dissertation – University of South Carolina, February 2011, 74 pages.
UMI publication 3454711.
Abstract: Current definitions for rhythmic and metrical terminology generally focus on the relationship of rhythm and pitch. In the world of non-pitched percussion music, these definitions become impractical by virtue of the absence of the key element of pitch. This study presents clear definitions for terms related to the theories of rhythm and meter as they combine to create phrase rhythm within a piece of music. Included are definitions of the following terms: intrinsic and extrinsic rhythmic accents, metrical accents, metrical hierarchy and the metrical grid, metrical consonance and dissonance, complex meter, irregular meter, changing meter, hypermeter, phrase expansion, metric modulation, and durational rhythm. While some of the definitions quote directly from the original sources, the author also develops his own definitions, relying on previous scholarship. [Davis-EA 1997]

Medical Ethnomusicology and its Applications within Western Music Therapy,
M.Mus. Thesis – University of Oklahoma, Graduate College, Norman, Oklahoma, 2013, 160 pages.
Abstract: In this study of Native American flute, West African drumming, and toning to realign chakras, I argue that these music healing practices treat the root cause of disvalued states because they include in their performance process the production and dissemination of the cultural values of connectivity to and balance between a community of people, the surrounding environment, and the self. Through participant-observation fieldwork, self-study as a performer and patient, and secondary scientific research I show that these cultural values manifest as reflections of community relationships, environmental awareness, and the whole person (body, mind, and emotions). I focus on how sound and participant’s intent affects the mind emotionally and through thought processes. These changes, called cognitive flexibility, affect the physical body producing changes such as lowered pulse, blood pressure, and pain perception; alleviation of negative feelings; increased attention span.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to ascertain the significant findings of medical science concerning musical learning and physiology, the rationale being that this research could form the basis for a theory of music instruction. The procedure consisted of a content analysis of the international medical literature for the years 1971-1983 by means of a computer based information search of MEDLINE (MEDLARS ONLINE), using various combinations of relevant descriptors. Reliability checks were made by reviewing Index Medicus and inspecting research journals from the medical literature. [Dawson 2006]

Atmospheric Effects on the Speed of Sound,
published by the US Army Electronics Research and Development Command, Atmospheric Sciences Laboratory, August 1979, 60 pages.
Two citations: CrossTune - Tool for Tuning a Native American flute for a Different Environment, Intervals Abstract: The small-signal speed of sound in humid air is calculated from a model which includes the real-gas effects from the equation of state for humid air and the vibrational dispersion due to N2, O2, and CO2 relaxation. Other atmospheric effects such as dispersion due to viscothermal and rotational relaxation, heat radiation, propagation along the air-ground boundary, the density gradient, turbulance, aerosols and fogs are considered and found to be unimportant for frequencies between 1Hz and 5 HHz (at one atmosphere). The uncertainty in predicting the sound speed varies between 0.22 m/sec at -90C to 0.05 m/sec at 90C. Experimental results in humid air at 20C and 30C are in excellent agreement with the model. For the propagation frequency of 20 Hz, it is found that the presently used sound-ranging formula, c - 20.06 Ts, where Ts = .75tv + .25t + 273.2 (tv = virtual temperature), differs by up to 0.5 m/sec over the range -60C to 60C. A correction to the "sonic" temperature determination is suggested with results in deviations of less than 0.05 m/sec over the temperature range from -60C to 50C and for relative humidities from 5% to 100%.

“Overall Brain Size, and Not Encephalization Quotient, Best Predicts Cognitive Ability across Non-Human Primates”,
Brain, Behavior and Evolution, Volume 70, 2007, pages 115–124, doi:10.1159/000102973.
Publication 17510549 on PubMed/NCBI (subscription access).
Abstract: For over a century, various neuroanatomical measures have been employed as assays of cognitive ability in comparative studies. Nevertheless, it is still unclear whether these measures actually correspond to cognitive ability. A recent meta-analysis of cognitive performance of a broad set of primate species has made it possible to provide a quantitative estimate of general cognitive ability across primates. We find that this estimate is not strongly correlated with neuroanatomical measures that statistically control for a possible effect of body size, such as encephalization quotient or brain size residuals. Instead, absolute brain size measures were the best predictors of primate cognitive ability. Moreover, there was no indication that neocortex-based measures were superior to measures based on the whole brain. The results of previous comparative studies on the evolution of intelligence must be reviewed with this conclusion in mind. [DeCesare 1988]

“The Effect of Respiration Rate on Heart Rate Variability and Baroreflex Sensitivity”,
Journal of Physiology, 2002.
Abstract: This study investigated the effect of different breathing rates on cardiac autonomic tone and blood pressure control. The influence of nose and mouth-only breathing was also assessed. After obtaining ethical approval and informed consent, sixteen healthy subjects (8 males, 8 females, aged 33.9 ± 2.5 years, mean ± S.E.M.) breathed spontaneously for 5 min and then randomly at 6, 9 and 12 cycles per min (cpm) whilst having continuous measures of heart rate (MP100, BIOPAC Systems Inc., USA) and blood pressure (Portapres, TNO-Netherlands) performed. Cardiac autonomic tone was assessed by heart rate variability (HRV) in the time domain and by power spectral analysis (PSA) in the frequency domain. Blood pressure control was evaluated by baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) derived from a transfer function analysis of the PSA data. ANOVA and Bonferroni-adjusted t tests were performed. Data are given as means ± S.E.M. Time domain measures showed that compared to spontaneous breathing, standard deviation of normal RR intervals (SDNN) (ms) 81.5 ± 9.3 vs. 52.2 ± 5.2 (a primary index of HRV), root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD) (ms) 51.2 ± 6.5 vs. 36.3 ± 4.7 and percentage of normal RR intervals greater than 50 ms from the previous beat (pNN50) (%) 17.0 ± 3.8 vs. 9.8 ± 3.0 (both measures of parasympathetic activity) were all significantly increased at 6 cpm (P < 0.01), and SDNN (ms) 63.4 ± 7.3 vs. 52.2 ± 5.2 and pNN50 (%) 14.0 ± 4.1 vs. 9.8 ± 3.0 at 9 cpm (P < 0.05). Total power (ms2) (a frequency domain measure of HRV) was increased at 6 cpm 7813.0 ± 1959.0 vs. 3045.0 ± 591.0, as was BRS (ms mmHg-1) 10.6 ± 1.1 vs. 8.7 ± 1.0 (P < 0.05). When compared with baseline, nose-only breathing demonstrated a decrease in LF/HF ratio (a measure of sympathovagal balance) 1.0 ± 0.3 vs. 3.1 ± 1.0 (P < 0.01), normalised low frequency power (nLF, an index of sympathetic activity) 42.0 ± 5.0 vs. 62.0 ± 4.6 (P < 0.05) and an increase in normalised high frequency power (nHF, a measure of parasympathetic activity) 58.0 ± 5.0 vs. 38.0 ± 4.6 (P < 0.05). Compared with mouth breathing, nose-only breathing decreased nLF 42.0 ± 5.0 vs. 50.0 ± 5.0 and increased nHF 58.0 ± 5.0 vs. 50.0 ± 5.0 (P < 0.05). These data suggest that reduced breathing frequency (particularly 6 cpm) is associated with increased parasympathetic activity, cardiac autonomic tone and blood pressure control, and that nose-only breathing is associated with altered sympathovagal balance, predominantly reflecting increased cardiac vagal activity.

Abstract: We demonstrate relationships between the classic Euclidean algorithm and many other fields of study, particularly in the context of music and distance geometry. Specifically, we show how the structure of the Euclidean algorithm defines a family of rhythms which encompass over forty timelines (ostinatos) from traditional world music. We prove that these Euclidean rhythms have the mathematical property that their onset patterns are distributed as evenly as possible: they maximize the sum of the Euclidean distances between all pairs of onsets, viewing onsets as points on a circle. Indeed, Euclidean rhythms are the unique rhythms that maximize this notion of evenness. We also show that essentially all Euclidean rhythms are deep: each distinct distance between onsets occurs with a unique multiplicity, and these multiplicies form an interval 1, 2, ..., k-1. Finally, we characterize all deep rhythms, showing that they form a subclass of generated rhythms, which in turn proves a useful property called shelling. All of our results for musical rhythms apply equally well to musical scales. In addition, many of the problems we explore are interesting in their own right as distance geometry problems on the circle; some of the same problems were explored by Erdős in the plane.

“Winds of Change: Ceramic Musical Instruments from Greater Nicoya”,
contained in [Stockli 2013], 2013.
Abstract: In this paper we illustrate, describe, and examine the chronological development of ceramic musical instruments – especially aerophones of the ocarina family – from pre-Columbian Greater Nicoya, an archaeological region located in modern day northwest Costa Rica and Pacific Nicaragua. These instruments are subsequently compared to contemporaneous styles from surrounding archaeological regions, and followed by a brief discussion of potential functions and meanings. The overarching purpose of the present research, however, is to investigate aspects of change and continuity in the musical past of the region in order to evaluate traditional claims that periodic change in the material culture of the region was the result of sporadic “waves” of foreign migrants from central Mexico.

One citation: Ethnographic Flute Recordings of Central America Introduction: A remarkable opportunity for the study of primitive music was recently afforded by the presence of eight Tule Indians in Washington. These Indians were from the Isthmus of Darien in Panama and were brought to the United States by Mr. R. O. Marsh. The five adults in the group were of normal Indian color and the three children were fair, being examples of the "white Indians," whose occurrence among the Tule has caused the tribe to be known by that name. The Tule live on islands near the coast of the Caribbean Sea from San Bias Point to Armila, a distance of 120 miles. They also hold the San Bias Range of mountains on the mainland. [Densmore 1927]

Introduction: The human organism is like an orchestra and man, to some extent, is its conductor. There are large rhythms in which the organism acts as a whole, and small rhythms in which individual organs go through their parts. Health is the normal balance of all these rhythms, like the playing of an orchestra in which each instrument does its part and keeps its proper relation to the others. Sickness may be compared to the sound of the orchestra "tuning up" and recovery to the change when the conductor taps his baton and the instruments swing into rhythmic unity. If the conductor should fail to appear, it might happen that the players after their discordant, independent flourishes, would fold up their instruments and go away. That would be like the death of the body. One after another its organs cease to act, the rhythms cease and life's music is over. Rhythm, which has so large a part in life, is little represented in the white man's treatment of disease. To the Indian, rhythm and song are essential factors in the treatment of the sick, as will be shown in this article. [Densmore 1927b]

One citation: Flutopedia Revision History Introduction: An important phase of Indian music is known as the dream song, which is common to many tribes. These songs are not composed but are said to come to the mind of the Indian when he has placed himself in a receptive attitude. To this extent the source of the song is not unlike the inspiration sometimes experienced by composers of our own race, but the use of the song is entirely different. Our composer regards the song as a possible source of applause or wealth while the Indian connects it with mysterious power. An old Indian said to the writer, "If a man is to do something beyond human power he must have more than human strength." Song is a means through which that strength is believed to come to him.

Introduction: Two methods of treating the sick were used by the American Indians in early days and are continued to some extent at the present time. One method involves the private ministrations of a doctor or medicine man and the other a public ceremony, conducted by a number of doctors, attended by many people, and often continued for several days. Music is an important phase of each method and consists of singing by the doctor or his assitants and the shaking of a rattle or beating of a drum. The songs used in these treatments are said to come from supernatural sources in "dreams" or visions, and with them come directions for procedure and a knowledge of the herbs to be used.

Publisher's description: When some American Indian medicine men and women were called upon to heal an ailing tribesmember, they would fast in order to receive a song in dream or vision instructing them in how to carry out the treatment of their patient. This is one of the many insights on American Indian healing practices reported by Dr. Frances Densmore. Over the course of 50 years, Dr. Densmore collected more than 2000 recordings of American Indian customs and traditions in song. Compiled in this CD are recordings of medicine men from a diverse representation of tribes singing and chanting those songs, delivered to them in dream by external powers and spirits, that they used to heal the sick.

Here we discuss this correlation in the light of results provided by our first hand analysis of ancient and recently discovered relevant archaeological and paleontological material from Africa and Europe. We focus in particular on the evolutionary significance of lithic and bone technology, the emergence of symbolism, Neandertal behavioral patterns, the identification of early mortuary practices, the anatomical evidence for the acquisition of language, the development of conscious symbolic storage, the emergence of musical traditions, and the archaeological evidence for the diversification of languages during the Upper Paleolithic. This critical reappraisal contradicts the hypothesis of a symbolic revolution coinciding with the arrival of anatomically modern humans in Europe some 40,000 years ago, but also highlights inconsistencies in the anatomically–culturally modern equation and the potential contribution of anatomically “pre-modern” human populations to the emergence of these abilities. No firm evidence of conscious symbolic storage and musical traditions are found before the Upper Paleolithic. However, the oldest known European objects that testify to these practices already show a high degree of complexity and geographic variability suggestive of possible earlier, and still unrecorded, phases of development.

“Nassarius kraussianus Shell Beads from Blombos Cave: Evidence for Symbolic Behaviour in the Middle Stone Age”,
Journal of Human Evolution, Volume 45, 2005, pages 3–24, doi:10.1016/j.jhevol.2004.09.002
One citation: The Development of Flutes in Europe and Asia Abstract: Since 1991, excavations at Blombos Cave have yielded a well-preserved sample of faunal and cultural material in Middle Stone Age (MSA) levels. The uppermost MSA phase, M1, is dated to c. 75 ka by optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and thermoluminescence, and the middle M2 phase to a provisional c. 78 ka. Artefacts unusual in a MSA context from these phases include bifacial points, bone tools, engraved ochre and engraved bone. In this paper, we describe forty-one marine tick shell beads recovered from these MSA phases and tick shell beads from Later Stone Age (LSA) levels at Blombos Cave and the Die Kelders site. Thirty-nine shell beads come from the upper M1 phase and two from M2. Morphometric, taphonomic and microscopic analysis of modern assemblages of living and dead tick shell demonstrate that the presence of perforated Nassarius kraussianus shells in the Blombos MSA levels cannot be due to natural processes or accidental transport by humans. The types of perforation seen on the MSA shells are absent on modern accumulations of dead shells and not attributable to post-depositional damage. Their location, size, and microscopic features are similar to those obtained experimentally by piercing the shell wall, through the aperture, with a sharp bone point. Use-wear, recorded on the perforation edge, the outer lip, and the parietal wall of the aperture indicates the shells having being strung and worn. MSA shell beads differ significantly in size, perforation type, wear pattern and shade compared to LSA beads and this eliminates the possibility of mixing across respective levels. [DeRuby 1998]

This book chronicles their history, conservation, and reconservation. While little was known about mid-third millennium Mesopotamian archaeology early last century, it was clear that the Sumerians had developed a vigorous trade in luxury goods, with an economy that necessitated a highly structured government whose leaders could command rich and elaborate graves that included a full panoply of musical instruments.

Abstract: Evidence used to reconstruct the morphology and function of the brain (and the rest of the central nervous system) in fossil hominin species comes from the fossil and archeological records. Although the details provided about human brain evolution are scarce, they benefit from interpretations informed by interspecific comparative studies and, in particular, human pathology studies. In recent years, new information has come to light about fossil DNA and ontogenetic trajectories, for which pathology research has significant implications. We briefly describe and summarize data from the paleoarcheological and paleoneurological records about the evolution of fossil hominin brains, including behavioral data most relevant to brain research. These findings are brought together to characterize fossil hominin taxa in terms of brain structure and function and to summarize brain evolution in the human lineage. [Dessy-R 1996]

One citation: Glossary of Native American Flute Terms Summary: Absolute pitch (or perfect pitch) is the rare ability to name or produce a note of given pitch in the absence of a reference note. Its study has contributed to the understanding of critical periods in perceptual and cognitive development, relationships between language and music, the influence of language on perception, the brain substrates of specialized abilities, and the role of genetic factors in perception and cognition. This chapter discusses research on absolute pitch drawn from a wide variety of disciplines, including music, psychology, neuroscience, and genetics. The high prevalence of absolute pitch among tone language speakers is discussed, and it is argued that if infants were given the opportunity to associate pitches with meaningful words in infancy, they might readily develop the neural circuitry underlying absolute pitch at the time. Other sections concern the neuroanatomical substrates of absolute pitch, and the relationship between this ability and other abilities. [Deva 1978]

Three citations: Names of the Native American Flute (3) Publisher's description: The most comprehensive study ever undertaken of the musical instruments of native people in Northeastern North America, Visions of Sound focuses on interpretations by elders and consultants from Iroquois, Wabanati, Innuat, and Anishnabek communities. Beverley Diamond, M. Sam Cronk, and Franziska von Rosen present these instruments in a theoretically innovative setting organized around such abstract themes as complementarity, twinness, and relationship. As sources of metaphor—in both sound and image—instruments are interpreted within a framework that regards meaning as "emergent" and that challenges a number of previous ethnographic descriptions. Finally, the association between sound and "motion"—an association that illuminates the unity of music and dance and the life cycles of individual musical instruments—is explored. Featuring over two hundred photographs of instruments, dialogues among the coauthors, numerous interviews with individual music makers, and an appended catalogue of over seven hundred instrument descriptions, this is an important book for all ethnomusicologists and students of Native American culture as well as general readers interested in Native American mythology and religious life.

One citation: The Development of Flutes in Europe and Asia From The Library Journal, by H. James Birx: Research biologist (Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands) Diamond argues that the human being is just a third species of chimpanzee but nevertheless a unique animal essentially due to its capacity for innovation, which caused a great leap forward in hominoid evolution. After stressing the significance of spoken language, along with art and technology, Diamond focuses on the self-destructive propensities of our species to kill each other (genocide and drug abuse) and to destroy the environment (mass extinctions). He also discusses human sexuality, geographic variability, and ramifications of agriculture (metallurgy, cultivated plants, and domesticated animals). Absent from Diamond's work is the role religion plays in causing both war and the population explosion as well as long-range speculations on the future of our species. This informative, most fascinating, and very readable book is highly recommended for all libraries. [Dibbell 1979]

“Effect of Multifactorial Constraints on Intelligibility of Opera Singing (I)”,
Journal of Singing, Volume 63, Number 4, March/April 2007.
Introduction: The criticism most often made of opera singers is that they are difficult to understand. Is the lack of intelligibility in lyric art due to the singer’s poor diction, as generally believed, or to other causes? What happens when the frequency, intensity, and duration of the sound are considerably greater as they are in singing as opposed to speech? Are the acoustic structures of vowels and consonants preserved? Is syllabic isochrony maintained? How much can phonemes be lengthened without losing their identity? What happens when a singer pays particular attention to diction in order to improve the intelligibility of the words being sung? Are linguistic factors the only ones that alter intelligibility?

“‘Neanderthal Bone Flutes’: Simply Products of Ice Age Spotted Hyena Scavenging Activities on Cave Bear Cubs in European Cave Bear Dens”,
Royal Soceity Open Science, Volume 2, Article 140022, April 1, 2015, doi:10.1098/rsos.140022
Summary: Punctured extinct cave bear femora were misidentified in southeastern Europe (Hungary/Slovenia) as ‘Palaeolithic bone flutes’ and the ‘oldest Neanderthal instruments’. These are not instruments, nor human made, but products of the most important cave bear scavengers of Europe, hyenas. Late Middle to Late Pleistocene (Mousterian to Gravettian) Ice Age spotted hyenas of Europe occupied mainly cave entrances as dens (communal/cub raising den types), but went deeper for scavenging into cave bear dens, or used in a few cases branches/diagonal shafts (i.e. prey storage den type). In most of those dens, about 20% of adult to 80% of bear cub remains have large carnivore damage. Hyenas left bones in repeating similar tooth mark and crush damage stages, demonstrating a butchering/bone cracking strategy. The femora of subadult cave bears are intermediate in damage patterns, compared to the adult ones, which were fully crushed to pieces. Hyenas produced round–oval puncture marks in cub femora only by the bone-crushing premolar teeth of both upper and lower jaw. The punctures/tooth impact marks are often present on both sides of the shaft of cave bear cub femora and are simply a result of non-breakage of the slightly calcified shaft compacta. All stages of femur puncturing to crushing are demonstrated herein, especially on a large cave bear population from a German cave bear den. [Diemer 1959]

“Comparison of heart rate variability in survivors and nonsurvivors of sudden cardiac arrest”,

Abstract: Imbalances in autonomic nervous system function have been posed as a possible mechanism that produces ventricular fibrillation and sudden cardiac arrest in patients with cardiovascular disease. Heart rate (HR) variability is described in survivors and nonsurvivors of sudden cardiac arrest within 48 hours after resuscitation using time and frequency domain analytic approaches. HR data were collected using 24-hour ambulatory electro-cardiograms in 16 survivors and 5 nonsurvivors of sudden cardiac arrest, and 5 control subjects. Survivors of sudden cardiac arrest were followed for 1 year, with recurrent cardiac events occurring in 4 patients who died within that year. Analysis of 24-hour electrocardiograms demonstrated that control subjects had the highest HR variability (standard deviation of all RR intervals = 155.2 +/- 54 ms), with nonsurvivors demonstrating the lowest HR variability (standard deviation of all RR intervals = 52.3 +/- 6.1 ms) and survivors of sudden cardiac arrest falling between the other 2 groups (standard deviation of all RR intervals = 78 +/- 25.5 ms, p less than or equal to 0.0000). Two other indexes of HR variability (mean number of beat to beat differences in RR intervals greater than 50 ms/hour and root-mean-square of successive differences in RR intervals) did not demonstrate the expected pattern in this sample, indicating that perhaps patterns of HR variability differ between groups of patients with cardiovascular disorders. Spectral analytic methods demonstrated that survivors of sudden cardiac arrest had reduced low- and high-frequency spectral power, whereas nonsurvivors demonstrated a loss of both low- and high-frequency spectral power. Left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly correlated with standard deviation of all RR intervals and standard deviation of the mean of RR intervals for 5-minute segments. One-year mortality in the survivor group of cardiac arrest was inversely related to several variables including age, standard deviation of all RR intervals, and low frequency power. [Douglass 1896]

Publisher's description: Tim Dowley's popular history of Christian music is the first to encompass all eras, regions, and varieties of this rich and vast treasure. From its Jewish origins, through medieval chant and hymns, to gospel and rock, Christian music around the world is harmonized beautifully in this colorfully illustrated survey. Dowley travels beneath the plurality of forms and styles to pose questions about the meaning of diverse traditions. His skillful narrative and fascinating insights from specialists combine for a truly global history of Christianity's musical culture. [Downes 1998]

Abstract: This narrative inquiry explores how the “Songs of the Spirit” Native American Flute curriculum, a culturally-responsive curriculum which involves learning to make and play a PVC version of the Native American Flute while learning the cultures and histories of this First Nations instrument, impacted spiritual and emotional aspects of the learning and lives of Aboriginal students, their families, their parents, and their school community. My research took place at an urban Aboriginal high school in Saskatchewan from January to March, 2006. I conducted recorded conversations with three students, two parents, two teachers, two administrators, two Elders, a former principal, a former school caretaker, an artistic director, and the young woman who inspired the Heart of the City Piano Program, a volunteer driven community piano program, in the fall of 1995. Aboriginal individuals, who have too often been silenced in education and in society (Giroux, 1997; Freire, 1989; Fine, 1987; Greene, 1995 & 1998; Grumet, 1999), were provided with a voice in this research.

Two citations: Flutes of Gilgamesh and Ancient Mesopotamia (2) Abstract: Almost all categories of instruments were represented in Mesopotamia and Egypt, from clappers and scrapers to rattles, sistra, flutes, clarinets, oboes, trumpets, harps, lyres, lutes, etc. As early as 2600 B.C. harps and lyres are attested at Ur. In the New Kingdom, Egypt borrowed several instruments from Mesopotamia: the angular vertical harp, square drum, etc. The organ, invented in Ptolemaic Egypt, is first attested in its new, non-hydraulic form in the third century A.D. Hama mosaic. Musical theory, based on the heptatonic system with seven scales and modes is found in Mesopotamia as early as the eighteenth century B.C. This theory is reflected in a musical score written beneath a Hurrite hymn of the fourteenth century B.C. [Duchesne-Guillemin 1984]

Abstract: The four cuneiform texts discussed here were originally published by Hilprecht in his twentieth volume of the Babylonian Expedition of the University of Pennsylvania, in 1906. They came from the temple library of Nippur and were part of some 7000 texts and fragments Hilprecht catalogued. The volume lists the texts as numbers 20, Rev.; 21, Rev.; 22, Obv. and 24, Rev.

From the Introduction: The heptagram on the tablet is inscribed within two concentric circles. The sevenpoints of the heptagram are labelled with the names of musical strings and with numbers. This paper will argue that this was the representation of a dial showing the construction of the heptatonic scale and the location of the seven modes originating from each of its degrees.

Conference summary: Music was born with mankind as one of his essential functions and developed with his evolution. The psychogenesis of writing and its later voicing was the cause of theoricism. Musical instruments developed as extension therefore replication of the voice and became tools for the quantification of the ethereal nature of sound. This thesis exposes that the production of just or natural intervals was the reason for the usage of sexagesimalism and why it became a major system for the Sumerians, Babylonians and Assyrians.

One citation: A Brief History of the Native American Flute From Publishers Weekly: Hundreds of Native American tribes are classified as sovereign governments, a murky legal status that this study (part of the Penguin Library of American Indian History) struggles to clarify. Duthu, a law professor and member of the Houma tribe, reviews statute and case law on tribal sovereignty, especially recent Supreme Court decisions that are at odds with Congress's modern friendliness toward tribal self-determination. His dense, dry survey explores such topics as tribal jurisdiction over non-Indians living on reservations, tribal natural resources and environmental policy, adoption law for Indian children and the perennial wrangling between tribal and state governments over taxes, regulation and gambling. Roiling these issues are two conflicts: the clash between tribal sovereignty and congressional power to legislate on Indian affairs, and the tension between tribal group rights and individual rights. Duthu's sympathies are clear: he dismisses critics of special tribal rights as ignorant and castigates infringements of tribal sovereignty as motivated by neocolonialist views of Indians as a dying race; but his focus on legal precedent and convention regarding tribal sovereignty rather than its concrete benefits fails to make a compelling case for the necessity of such sovereignty.

How to Play Djembe — West African Rhythms for Beginners,
published by Dancing Hands Music, 2000, 96 pages, ISBN 0-9638801-4-4 (978-0-9638801-4-7).
Publisher's description: This book is a complete, step-by-step, user friendly course on how to play djembe. Right from the start, in addition to learning how to make all the basic strokes, you'll be learning interlocking parts for some of the most popular West African rhythms; Kuku, Djole, Kassa, Madan, Suku, Sunguru Bani and Thiba. After working through only a few lessons, you'll be able to put the parts together and start playing these irresistible rhythms with your friends. The rhythms are written in simple charts, so no music reading is required. The CD that comes with the book gives you a chance to hear how each part sounds separately and how the parts for each rhythm fit together. It was recorded by John Camara, a master drummer from Bamako, Mali. Each rhythm lasts at least five minutes, so you'll have plenty of time to play along. And when John solos during the final three minutes of each track, you'll feel the thrill of playing your part along with an ensemble and lead drummer. |
