THE TRANSMISSION OF DRUM SONGS IN PELLY BAY, NUNAVUT, AND THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF COMPOSERS AND SINGERS TO MUSICAL NORMS Norma Mae Kritsch Vascotto Faculty of Music University of Toronto ABSTRACT Inuit drum songs are snapshots of memorable activities in composers' lives, besides having an accompaniment function in drum dances and a general role in oral history preservation. I investigated the drum song repertoire of one extended family from Pelly Bay, Nunavut, looking for a broader social role independent of textual content and public performance. I looked musicologically at how composers and singers contributed to song style. With assistance from informants, I determined the transmission paths and the perceived meaning of the transmitted information, then related the socio-cultural to the musical findings. Musicologically, the songs showed a variety of expression within compositional nonns. Interval make-up and melodic contour types were largely consistent. Scale appeared to derive from tonal centre relationships established eady in the compositional process. Scale and interval complexity varied generationally, while microtonal make-up displayed compositional and performance components. ornamentation showed positional uniformity, but variety in execution. Transmitted versions, faithful to the memory and style of the composer, showed musical alterations which reflected singer style and the transmission path. Transmission patterns reflected the importance of kin and fictive kin relationships. Consanguineat ties outnumbered affinal ones, with modes of transmission related to composer gender. Women's songs moved to daughters and granddaughters. Men's songs moved through their nuclear families, and then into sons' families by way of mothers and wives. Siblings were in transmission lines, but direct sibling to sibling transmission was not maintained. Songs reinforced namesake ties, and reflected beliefs about commonality of namesake traits. Song transmission in these cases reinforced the importance of song performance in reinforcing ties, and showed the role of women in this maintenance. Teaching and learning followed paths that dealt with obligatory and avoidance demands of traditional kin relations. Teaching methods have changed over time, and much of this is attributable to the change from oral to non-oral learning styles. Opportunities for teaching and learning are reduced in Pelly Bay today, though new contexts in school and home have developed. Reinforcement of traditional kin and fictive ties continues to be an important element in transmission, though a more generalized dispersal of songs seems to be developing. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to a number of people who helped make this work possible. My greatest debt is to the singers and informants in Pelly Bay. Besides performing for me, the singers endured my questions even when in my ignorance I was impolite, and they freely added things they thought I should know Theme Sikkuark, Maria Tuituark, Solomon Ikkujuitoq, Jose Angutingnungniq, Lucie Imrningnaq, Simon Inuqsaq, Simeona Annaqatjuaq, Martha Tunnuq, Bibienne Niuvirvuk, Victor Tungilik, Marie Anguti. (Several of the elders have since passed away, and I'm sure they are greatly missed by the community.) I also thank my main interpreters Lutgarde Angutingnungniq and Yanina Mannusiniq for their advice and patience, and Cedric for his help in one of the recording sessions. 1 thank Kathy Anaituk for being my able guide through the Kugaaruk school library, and the other teachers who helped me. Nick Sikkuark and Guido Tigvareark added to my store of community information, while Mary- Madeleine Nirlungayak kindly allowed me to stay in her home. Sidonie and Bartholomie Nirlungayak were very kind, as were many others in Pelly Bay who gave me tea and made me feel welcome. I thank you all, and apologize to those whose names I forgot. I also thank the Hamlet Council of Pelly Bay for allowing me to come and work, and Mr. Elwood Johnston, Senior Administrative Officer at that time, for facilitating the process. Sister Edith of the Pelly Bay mission was a kind and helpful consultant, and 1 thank her for a memorable Easter dinner at a busy time for her. The University of Toronto provided a travel grant which helped make the trip to Pelly Bay possible. 1 am grateful to Mr. Dennis Fletcher and M. Benoit Theriault at the Canadian Museum of Civilization, the former for his knowledge of the recording archives and the latter for his ability to find the even most obscure documentation. The staff at the Prince of Wales Centre in Yellowknife provided recordings and written material which were most useful. I thank my supervisor Dr. James Kippen for his comments, criticisms, and encouragement, and Dr. Beverley Diamond for her vast knowledge of Netsilik music and her willingness to share it Finally, I thank my family: Gian for telling me it was possible and giving me the real and figurative space to do it; my mother for her help, and for telling me to get on with it; and Robin, Sandy, and Kris who pitched in and made it all worth while.

    CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE CANADIAN MUSIC SINCE 1940: A QUESTION OF NATIONALISM A Thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music by Ronald Frederick Erin August, 1983 J:lhe Thesis of Ronald Frederick Erin is approved: California StD. te Universi tJr, Northridge ii PREFACE This thesis represents a survey of Canadian music since 1940 within the conceptual framework of 'nationalism'. By this selec- tive approach, it does not represent a conclusive view of Canadian music nor does this paper wish to ascribe national priorities more importance than is due. However, Canada has a unique relationship to the question of nationalism. All the arts, including music, have shared in the convolutions of national identity. The rela- tionship between music and nationalism takes on great significance in a country that has claimed cultural independence only in the last 40 years. Therefore, witnessed by Canadian critical res- ponse, the question of national identity in music has become an important factor. \ In utilizing a national focus, I have attempted to give a progressive, accumulative direction to the six chapters covered in this discussion. At the same time, I have attempted to make each chapter self-contained, in order to increase the paper's effective- ness as a reference tool. If the reader wishes to refer back to information on the CBC's CRI-SM record label or the Canadian League of Composers, this informati6n will be found in Chapter IV. Simi- larly, work employing Indian texts will be found in Chapter V. Therefore, a certain amount of redundancy is unavoidable when interconnecting various components.

Department of M0S \ C The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date flffoL 3.6 Rqfe DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT In this thesis, First Nations popular music is examined as a polysemic sign (or symbolic form) whose meaning is mediated both socially and politically. Native popular music is a locus for the action of different social forces which interact in negotiating the nature and the meaning of the music. Music is socially meaningful in that it provides a means by which people construct and recognize social and cultural identities. As such, First Nations popular music functions as an emblem of symbolic differentiation between Canadian natives and non-natives. Native pop music plays host to a number of political meanings embedded in this syncretic musical form.
