Musical traditions of twenty specific south sea areas,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Weavers of Song: Polynesian Music and Dance (Hardcover)
Weavers Of Song: Polynesian Music & Dance is an informative and engaging exploration of the musical traditions of twenty specific south sea areas including the Society Islands, Tonga, Samoa, Tuvalu, Tokelau, Niue, Uvea and Futuna, the Marquesas Islands, Easter Island, Hawaii, and New Zealand. Weavers Of Song describes the musical instruments and their uses, performance, teaching and structure of music across the entire region. Merveyn McLean is an ethnomusicologist who draws upon his many years as an authority on Polynesian music to present a meticulously researched and superbly presented text that is enhanced with 165 photographs, 80 musical examples, and an accompanying CD sampler of songs, dance-songs, and instrumental music from the areas featured in this outstanding contribution to music history in general, and the musical cultures and legacies of the Polynesian south seas in particular.
