AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
The generalized pattern of chant practice is described with special reference to Holy Way chants. The authors have been scrupulous about details of the ceremonials and noted variations when they occur. They believe that when original observations can no longer be made, the descriptions can be reduced to their behavioral references and placed in their immediate context by those people who may care to use them.
