Sub-Series I C: Audio materials

The Harold S. Powers papers include manuscripts; research and pedagogical materials, including notes, handouts, transcriptions, analyses, and maps; and audio materials, including reel-to-reel tapes, cassette tapes, and compact discs—all associated with Powers’s musicological, ethnomusicological, and theoretical work related to mode in the musics of India, Java, the Middle East, Japan, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and Europe. The series are arranged by various geographic entities, including continents, regions, and nations. They are further arranged, where applicable, into sub-series including manuscripts, research and pedagogical materials, and audio materials. These sub-series are arranged first chronologically (where dates are available) and then alphabetically by title. The audio materials sub-series are further arranged into sub-series by media type, including reel-to-reel tapes, cassette tapes, and compact discs. The penultimate series aggregates all of Powers’s later cross-cultural research, particularly on “melodic geography,” melodic typology, musical translation, music and language, “nominal equivalence,” and “temporal flexibility.” The final series includes restricted materials.
