Elle constate quel un de ses chants est interprete dans le style traditionnel et comporte des elements anciens et nouveaux, mais quen realite, il nest pas un chant vraiment traditionnel en raison dune facon differente d'utiliser la notion de temps en musique. Un autre de ses chants s'apparente plus au genre de musique Western.

Consider that music has three habitats: Habitat Two is indoor-oriented and Habitat Three is electronic. Both musics are readily transcribed into print with standard notation. It is Habitat One, outdoor-oriented song, that defies representation with western print. I propose a methodology to replace reductionist assumptions of western transcription with the holistic sound (named fama) of Habitat One. From each particular fama of the planet's many sonic habitats, categories of transcription devolve. My conclusion applies this holistic approach to enrich archived music.

She draws upon the work of evolutionary musicologists and anthropologists to help define these vocable expressions. Examples from living genres such as Cree hunting songs, Jewish nigun and Roma Pentacostal expressions illustrate the prevalence of this spontaneous response to an immediate physical situation. The author argues that this human attribute whose longevity is assured partly because of its ease of production, mainly tongue action, has great potential to illuminate human evolution. But can vocables survive You Tube?

The documentation, drawn from mostly European and North American samples, demonstrates a strong correlation between human sonic creations and their context. This correlation involves multi-varied sonic particulars, depending upon the acoustic characteristics of the space, the sound, and the human intervention between them such as printed notation. Once descried, however, the links lead us to edifying questions about the history of our organized sound genres such as song and music.
