About This Book

The study of Hopi, or Moqui, singing, to which this volume is devoted, completes an inquiry into Pueblo music begun in 1891 with a study of Zuni Melodies.1 The records upon which both investigations have been based were obtained in Arizona by Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, now of the Bureau of Ethnology, Washington, at the time in charge

Character of Pueblo music, (a) Freedom, (b) Melodic instead of har­monic norms, (c) Division, combination, and balance of intervals, (d) The­matic development; strophe form; downward course; delivery, (e) Mu­tation : its varieties and its motives. - 0103
