Recent Trends in Ethnomusicology

Abstract

In recent years a far-reaching change in musical habits was brought about by the development and increase in sound-recording. This is especially true in the field of non-European music. Some forty years ago the music of Bali on discs was a curiosity on the collector's shelf, but today exotic discs from the four corners of the earth are commonplace. In consequence there has grown up a generation of music students which no longer depends solely on travellers' tales and descriptions, but can listen for itself. Not unnaturally, these new opportunities and habits have tended to strengthen an old belief, namely, that music is eloquent and can speak for itself.
