ADVANCING AMERICAN INDIAN ART
Music has been called the universal language because most every culture includes some form of musical expression. Yet, music can also be thought of as a pathway to understanding a particular culture. Here are four selections from the library collection that examine a range of cultures, a diversity of musical formats and a variety of unforeseen outcomes all where music plays a key role. These examples reveal the impact of musical connections between cultures and are currently on display in the public reading area of the library. Please feel free to visit the library to review these or any other items of interest in the Library and Archives collections.
