This book offers an in-depth examination of the Hopi songs and chanting traditions practiced by the Pueblo peoples of the American Southwest. Drawing from extensive field recordings, the author provides meticulous musical notations along with insightful commentary and analysis. The author contends that this music is not derived from scales as Western music is but rather from a creative freedom and melodic form unique to the Hopi. Detailed study of the songs reveals a complex system of mutation, or intentional variation, in which melodies are transformed and embellished throughout their performance. The author argues that this practice of mutation opens up a new realm of musical expression, one that defies conventional notions of harmony and form. Ultimately, this book offers a profound look into the musical culture of the Hopi and contributes valuable insights into the diverse musical traditions of indigenous peoples around the world.
