There is not a phase of life that does not find expression in song,\" wrote Alice C. Fletcher. The famous anthropologist published \u003ci\u003eA Study of Omaha Indian Music in 1893\u003c\/i\u003e. With the single exception of an 1882 dissertation, it was the first serious study ever made of American Indian music. And it was the largest collection of non-Occidental music published to date, ninety-two songs, all from a single tribe. \u003cp\u003eFletcher and Francis La Flesche, her Omaha coworker and adopted son, divided the songs into three categories: religious ones, to be sung by a certain class either through initiation or inheritance; social ones, involving dances and games, always sung by a group; and ones to be sung singly, including dream songs, love songs, captive songs, prayer songs, death songs, sweat lodge songs, and songs of thanks. John Comfort Fillmore, a professional musician, added a \"Report on the Structural Peculiarities of the Music.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThose interested in a vital aspect of Indian culture will want to own this book, which contains the musical scores as well as the native-language words for the songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice C.
