The Study Of Ethnomusicology by Bruno Nettl
A comprehensive, reflective survey of ethnomusicology that traces its historical development, debates over definition, and core methodologies; it examines fieldwork practices and problems of transcription and analysis, explores how music reflects and shapes social, cultural, and religious life, and considers comparative approaches, ethical responsibilities, and applied work. The book emphasizes the interplay between musical structure and cultural context, discusses issues of identity, power, and globalization, and offers practical guidance for conducting sensitive, rigorous research while highlighting ongoing theoretical challenges and emerging directions in the discipline.
