Description:... This collection provides a comprehensive review of the current state of Georgian ethnomusicology, with the accent on historical trends. It presents a tribute to Anzor Erkomaishvili, a pivotal figure in Georgian traditional music, the author of many widely known masterpieces of Georgian traditional and church-song repertoires. The steadily increasing popularity of Georgian traditional music, among both professional ethnomusicologists and lovers of choral singing, provides an urgent need for this volume.
