Using music as a focal point, although another of the arts might serve as well, I have discovered that the arts are a kind of camera obscura of society. Like that optical wonder, they reduce the whole of its identity-sanctions and values, sacred and secular beliefs and customs--to a faithful reflection in miniature, in living colors (Mantle Hood, The Ethnomusicologist. New York: McGraw-Hill, 1982, p. xviii).

Glenn Korff School of Music: Faculty Publications
Despite two centuries of research into the life and music of Johann S. Bach, there is little that can be said with certainty about his organ registration practices.

It has been designated National Treasure No. 1 by the South Korean government. This work attempts to suggest the colorful and variegated processions that have passed under the Namdaemun over the years - a cavalcade of kings, aristocrats, Buddhist monks, merchants, farmers, shamans and slaves, all accompanied by their own unique music: the slow, solemn heterophony of “Aak” …
