Abstract

I used my ORCA scholarship to study a significant group of ethnographic musical instruments that were held by the Museum of Art and the Museum of Peoples and Cultures at BYU. By research and study, I was able to address questions of patterns and commonalities in rituals that required music and the use of these instruments in various tribal and indigenous cultures. These results were presented in a public exhibition which opened at the Museum of Peoples and Cultures on May 14, 2005.
