SYNCRETISM OF THE SEASONAL RITUALS IN THE LATGALIAN BORDERLAND
2010
<p>German written sources are representing information on masquerade traditions in Latvia already in the 17th century - Latvian mask parades in 1636 are described by the Kurzeme and Zemgale Superintendent, P. Einhorn. (Jansons 2010: 49). Information about the Latvian masquerade traditions from the Christian Church sources in the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century have been negative, which is analyzed in 30-ties of the 20th century by ethnologist Jānis Alberts Jansons in his work "The Latvian mask parades”, but through a field study at the beginning of 21st century conclusion can be drawn that these traditions have been explicitly significant within the ru…
Interaction Between Systematic Musicology and Research on Traditional Music
2018
The origin of systematic musicology is strongly linked to the studies of music cultures of non-Western origin. From the methodological point of view, folk music research applied systematic methods to collect and analyze data. Anthropology of music and later ethnomusicology had a different focus: musical phenomena should be interpreted in their cultural context. The cognitive approach was the third paradigm change in the field of systematic musicology, which again changed both methodology as well the point of view of research topics. In cross-cultural music cognition, as well as in cognitive ethnomusicology, previous approaches in systematic musicology, ethnomusicology, and cognitive science…
La pluralità dei sistemi musicali e le origini della musica (parte II)
2022
Il testo tratta la nascita degli interessi scientifici verso le tradizioni musicali extraoccidentali grazie alla nuova disciplina denominata "musicologia comparata" e agli studi etno-antropologici di orientamento evoluzionista e diffusionista. In questo contesto di studio viene dato particolare rilievo alle ipotesi riguardanti le origini della musica, che vengono sinteticamente ripercorse e valutate. The text deals with the birth of scientific interests towards extra-western musical traditions thanks to the new discipline called "comparative musicology" and to ethno-anthropological studies of evolutionist and diffusionist orientation. In this context of study, particular importance is given…
"Indépendance Cha Cha": African pop music since the independence era

Investigating why Latin American music came to be the soundtrack of the independence era, this contribution offers an overview of musical developments and cultural politics in certain sub-Saharan African countries since the 1960s. Focusing first on how the governments of newly independent African states used musical styles and musicians to support their nation-building projects, the article then looks at musicians' more recent perspectives on the independence era. Der Beitrag gibt eine kurze Übersicht über die Entwicklung ausgewählter Musikstile in verschiedenen afrikanischen Ländern seit der Unabhängigkeit. Der Autor schildert die Bemühungen der Regierungen in den jungen Nationalstaaten, M…
Parai mēlam music in Jaffna Tamil culture, Sri Lanka: an ethnomusicological study
2016
Parai mēlam (a double-headed cylindrical drum played with two sticks) music occupies a significant position in Jaffna Tamil culture, Sri Lanka. This is an area which is worthy of scrutiny with regard to its emergence, development, uniqueness, position, performance, changes and continuity. In world drum tradition, parai mēlam music tradition has a long historical explanation, but unfortunately this performing art has become a diminishing culture due to various factors. These factors vary in the context of caste, culture and religious, rituals which are key spheres of Jaffna Tamil culture. The major objective of this study is to examine the position and placement of parai mēlam music in Tamil…
“Armonie aeree” nel ciclo della vita in provincia di Enna
2016
Il contributo intende passare in rassegna alcune delle testimonianze musicali più significative del ciclo della vita, rilevate e raccolte nel territorio dell'ennese. Le diverse tappe fungono da criterio per l’organizzazione dei brani: la nascita, l’infanzia, la maturità, la morte. Alla nascita sono legate le ninne nanne, la cui memoria viene garantita dalle donne più anziane della comunità e poi trasmessa alle donne più giovani. Invece, durante l’adolescenza e nel successivo passaggio allo stato adulto, l’amore diviene il pensiero fisso, l’oggetto privilegiato di ogni investimento simbolico e materiale. Di conseguenza anche le espressioni di tipo sonoro sono tutte “impregnate” del tema amor…
International Conference of Students of Systematic Musicology (SysMus15).
2016
The 8th International Conference of Students of Systematic Musicology (SysMus15) took place from the 17th to 19th of September, 2015, in Leipzig, Germany, a city with a strong academic and musical heritage. Leipzig was home to famous musicians such as Johann Sebastian Bach, Robert and Clara Schumann, and Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn. It was where Wilhelm Wundt opened the first laboratory for experimental psychology in 1879 (Rieber & Robinson, 2001, p. 206), and where Hugo Riemann founded one of the first institutes for Musicology in 1914 (Gollin & Rehding, 2011, p. 140). Against this background was held a conference highlighting the interdisciplinarity of modern Musicology.Musicology itself …
Etnografie del suono tra natura e cultura
2020
Relationship between nature and culture has deeply changed within the years, from an almost expected opposition of the two terms to a total overthrow which implies their mutual entanglement. The aim of this contribution is to show how such a change has affected oral musical tradition studies, focusing on some topics belong-ing to different theoretical-methodological frames and different historical periods: from comparative musicology to ethnomusicology, from anthropology of music to biomusicology (in reference also to evolutive musicology and to zoomusicology), from anthropology of sound to acustemology. Among the themes dealt with: the “na-ture” of musical scales, the phylogeny of musical …
