Beschreibungen/Notizen
For Stobart, "music in Kalankira may be seen to operate at a [. . .] cosmological level," and "we might think of the 'musical year' as a life cycle [. . .] a single integrated performance that synthesizes and creatively articulates the cycles of potatoes, llamas, and humans, as well as the sun, moon, and seasons" (39). Showing how specific instrumental timbres, dance styles, and poetic tropes are linked to broader ideas about seasonal change, the nurturance of life, and the circulation of spiritual force, Stobart compellingly argues for sonic creation as a mode of ritual action, and provides an exceptionally well-textured account of musicmaking, in a context where this activity remains poorly understood. [...]the last chapter explores the musical performances of carnival, the end of the rainy season, as both a harvest celebration and a means by which the recendy deceased are dispatched to the afterlife. [...]mention should be made of the CD that accompanies Stobart's book.
