The social and ceremonial music of the Pedi

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Arts, School of Music,1958 / The tribes that fall under the Northern Sotho or Pedi language group
are found in the area more or less bounded by Middelburg, Pilgrims Rest,
Malopene, the Blaauwberg and Hamanskraal .
No print can adequately describe the vital panorama of Pedi life.
In surveying the musical practices of the Pedi I soon realised that their
music was not an isolated entity but an integral unit of their whole
pattern of living, both socially and ceremonially. It is from this
essentially ' alive' standpoint, rather than as a scientific analysis of
scale systems, etc., that I approached the subject of Pedi music. [Abbreviated Abstract. Open document to view full version] / WS2016
