His knowledge of philosophy—Kant, Nietzsche, Bergson— and of literature—Maeterlinck, Claudel, Barres, Peguy, Gide, Proust—was no less impressive. Schaeffner pioneered the reorganization of the Musee du Trocadero— later the Musee de l’homme—where he created a department of ""musical organology"" in 1928. In 1931 this department became the department of musical ethnology, which Schaeffner would direct until his retirement in 1965. In 1931, along with Michel Leiris and others, he participated in the Dakar-Djibouti expedition led by Marcel Griaule. Directly after the First World War, he became interested in music emerging from oral traditions. His research on musical instruments then led him—already the co-author of one of the first French-language books on jazz—to study the origins of Black American music. His initial fieldwork among the Dogon and other populations of northern Cameroon inspired Origine des instruments de musique, which he began preparing in French Sudan in 1931 and completed in 1936. It appears here in the English language for the first time, edited and translated by Rachelle Taylor, Ariadne Lih and Emelyn Lih." Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
