-
This catalog describes wax cylinder recordings of music collected by two pioneers in ethnomusicology. The 101 cylinders in the Benjamin Ives Gilman Collection recorded at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago contain Fijian, Samoan, Uvean, Javanese, Turkish, and Kwakiutl or Vancouver Island Indian music. The Gilman Collection is arranged by cultural group. A set of 120 cylinder copies compiled shortly after World War I by Erich Moritz von Hornbostel from ethnic and tribal music at the Berlin Phonogramm-Archiv offers music collected from 1900-1914 in 15 world geographic regions, including North America. The set is the first anthology of recordings of world music and contains some of the earliest recordings of "exotic" music. The Hornbostel Demonstration Collection is arranged by geographic region and includes an index by collector and by cultural group. Entries in each catalog list cylinder number, Archive of Folk Culture number, cylinder, collector's description of contents, performer, recording location and date, and notes containing technical information about sound quality. Bibliographies for both collections conclude the catalog. (LFL)
