Abstract
Annotated Bibliography:
This book gives a detailed view on musical mimesis of the T’boli people. This book discusses the relations between musical poetics, myth, and magic in the musical and spiritual lives of T'boli men and women from the highlands of southwestern Mindanao. The author shows that musical mimesis is an intrinsic part of the cultural process of interpreting, articulating, making, and remaking the world. This book is a good reference that embraces wide-ranging ethnographic materials and issues that will be of interest to the musicologist, anthropologist, and student of Southeast Asian folklore and cross-cultural aesthetics.
