  • Cerebration Or Celebration David Mcallester
    Cerebration or Celebration David McAllester Until recently the place of performance in a liberal arts education was hardly a matter of debate where the arts of liberal arts were concerned. Performance in the arts has been considered distinctly second class, infra dig, base, common, and popular, at least from the time of the ascendency of the German university system, that enormously influential prototype of "civi- lized" education all over the world. No doubt, Plato's mistrust of the arts as unreal ("the shadow of a shadow") but nevertheless able to disrupt ration- ality lies behind the purdah they have enjoyed so widely and so long. This was not always the case. Some of our "Old Ones" in Greece and China considered performance in music, poetry, and sometimes even paint- ing and dance to be necessary parts of a proper education. Traces of this wisdom remain with us to this day. Mao Tse-Tung and Emperor Hirohito are honored for their poetic skill, as are not a few South American generals and presidents. The North European-Platonic blight has not been quite universal in its effects, but we need to remember how low we have fallen: dance relegated to "phys. ed.," performance confined to conservatories granting degrees in "science" rather than in "arts" and elsewhere denied academic credit. This state of affairs is all the more strange when one reflects on the in- sistence upon performance in other areas of liberal knowledge. Proficiency in languages is measured by fluency; the physicist must show his skill in the laboratory; anthropologists and geologists, as other examples, earn their spurs in their field work.

  • "Recent Development of Ethnomusicological Studies in Indonesia After Kunts Visits in 1930'S" Abstract
    "Recent Development of Ethnomusicological Studies in Indonesia after Kunts Visits in 1930's" By Triyono Bramantyo (ISI Yogyakarta, Indonesia) Abstract It was a remarkable effect scientifically that soon after the late Kunst visits in Indonesia during the early 1930s that the development of non-Western music studies all over the world had had become so quickly developed. The name Jaap (or Jacob) Kunst is always associated to the study of the gamelan music of Indonesia for since then, after one of his PhD students, so-called Mantle Hood, completed his study on the topic of “The Nuclear Theme as a Determinant of Patet in Javanese Music” in 1954, the gamelan studies and practice has become developed throughout the world best known universities. Accordingly, in the USA alone there are now more than 200 gamelan groups have been established. The ideas and the establishment of ethnomusicology would not be happened if Jaap Kunst, as an ethnologist, had never been visited Indonesia in his life time. His visit to Indonesia was also at the right time when the comparative musicology have no longer popular amongst the Western scholars. His works have become world-widely well known. Amongst them were written whilst he was in Indonesia; i.e. the Music of Bali (1925 in Dutch), the Music of Java (originally in Dutch in 1934, last English edition 1973), Music in New Guinea (1967), Music in Nias (1939), Music in Flores (1942) and numerous other books, publications, recordings and musical instruments collections that made Jaap Kunst as the most outstanding scholar on the study of Indonesian musical traditions.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our outgoing president Lei Ouyang Bryant for her leadership over the past three years. Special thanks also go to Charlotte D’Evelyn for her many years of work as secretary. ACMR has continued to grow in recent years, thanks to the dedication of past and present officers, as well as your continued support. We had a great meeting in Pittsburgh last November, with two perfor- mance presentations by members Po-wei Weng (on Beijing opera percussion) and Yuan-Yu Kuan (on erhu playing in Jiangnan sizhu). Slightly over a dozen of us also enjoyed a Chinese dinner at Sichuan Gourmet in Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh before the meeting. The Rulan Chao Pian Prize for the best article on Chinese Music and the Barbara Barnard Smith Chuen-Fung Prize for the best student paper on Chinese music were also presented Wong at the meeting. We will continue to explore creative formats for future ACMR meetings, and, as always, we welcome your input. ACMR officers have been busy working on a number of matters, including applying for non-profit status, developing an online membership renewal system, creating a new format for ACMR Newslet- ter, and enrolling our two publications, ACMR Reports and ACMR Newsletter, in a new RILM online Inside this issue: music journals collection, among others.
