Extract

The scholarly investigation of the folk music of every people and every land is one of the important tasks of the International Folk Music Council, perhaps its central task. This charge, which is laid down in the rules of the Council and thus carries the weight of an obligation, we tried to fulfill by holding scholarly conferences and publishing their papers in a journal. Thus, the work of scholars from all parts of the world was made known and had a stimulating effect.
