Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This study, based upon recordings made by Henning
Haslund-Christensen, describes several types of Mongolian music and the various
instruments employed in musical interpretation. The author defines the song-genre of the
Mongols and gives examples of each category contained in musical folklore. The actual
musical scale of the Mongols is explained. The instruments i.e. fiddle, zither, guitar,
flute, used by modern Mongols are correlated with their nomadic mode of existence. The
appearance, construction, and sound of these musical instruments are outlined by the
author in some detail. Included in this article is a chart that lists songs according to
tribe, tells how many strophes were recorded and published, and gives pertinent
information about each song. The musical material referred to throughout the text has
not, however, been reproduced for the Files. Photographs of Mongols playing their native
musical instruments are included. HRAF pagination has been assigned to plates following
the text.
