Yearbook for Traditional Music. Vol. 47 (2015)

The 2015 Yearbook offers a rich selection of readings. Four out of the nine pieces in this collection are centred on dance. ICTM, after all, is as much a society of dance scholars as it is of ethnomusicologists. The worlds of music and dance research frequently intersect, and that overlap rises to the surface in several articles, inviting us to consider holistic approaches—grounded in multiple disciplines—to the study of sound and movement, image and text. Reviews of books, audio recordings, films/videos and websites complete the volume.
