Type: article

Abstract: This article looks into the early twentieth century history of anthropological approaches to the study of music. Specifically, it delves into Alfred L. Kroeber's work on Native Californian cultures. It inquires into why Kroeber did not include music in his anthropological publications, despite collecting and analysing Native Californian music in private.
