Oriental Elements in the Folk Dance and Folk Dance Music of Greek Macedonia
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 March 2019
Extract
Before speaking of “oriental elements,” I must first of all make two qualifying statements in order not to be misunderstood. First, the musicologist, when hearing the expression “oriental music,” thinks of the art music of the Near East; but here I am speaking especially of folk music coming from the East to Greece. Secondly, I shall not speak about “the” elements in general, that is, I cannot give a complete list of existing oriental elements. I only intend to mention some phenomena which I have had the possibility of observing myself, and which, I suppose, are not very generally known.
