Publisher's Note
John Bierhorst presents American Indian music both as an art form to be enjoyed for its own sake and as a key to interpreting Indian life. No background in music is necessary to appreciate this Native American tradition which remains very much alive and very close to its people. It is still one of the purist forms of Indian expression and one of the most accessible. Readers will discover how Indian music is different from music in other parts of the world and how regional styles within North America are different from each other. Vocalization techniques are discussed as well as musical instruments and dance. "A Cry from the Earth demonstrates the overwhelming influence of music to the Native American lifestyle, and the variety of types within the realm of Indian music". -- The Midwest Book Review
