520			_a"This last study of the great musicologist is in the tradition of his best work. Feeling that "the venerable heritage of archaic cultures is threatened with imminent extermination" because of the encroachment of modern civilization, D. Sachs first describes the advent of the ethno-musicologist, his methods, and progress. He then gives us the fruits of this work, and discusses with the rare knowledge, depth, and wit which were his trademark., the origins of music from its earliest forms, melodies, rhythms, and instruments." back cover.
