by Hugh Tracey
Part of the African Ethnographic Studies of the 20th Century series
Description
Originally published in 1948 and updated with a new introduction in 1970 this book is a classic study on the musical life of a Bantu people in Mozambique.
It discusses the poetry on which the music and dances are based and provides, both in original and translation, 50 Chopi songs which are related to the social setting of Chopi life.
It analyses some of the musical compositions and their structure with illustrations and transcriptions in score and describes the method of manufacture of the instruments.
One chapter is devoted to full descriptions of the elaborate orchestral dances.
The book is illustrated by numerous photographs and maps, and contains a glossary of musical terms, and extracts from early Portuguese accounts of the Chopi people and their music.
