Abstract

Ethnomusicologists find that all humans, not just those we call musicians, are musical. And, musicality is one of the essential touchstones of the human experience. This insight opens the new dimensions of the nature of music and the nature of humankind. To appreciate musicality of human, we must study music in all its contextual and historical diversity.

In Ethnomusicology A Very Short Introduction, Timothy Rice, offers a compact and revealing portrayal of Ethnomusicology. It's a research in quest of insights into both music and humanity. In Chapter 1, Defining Ethnomusicology, Rice defines ethnomusicology from assorted points of view. He admits that defining Ethnomusicology is not a simple matter. Many ethnomusicologists, many minds. Researchers may apply theories from anthropology and other social sciences, to shed further light on the nature of music as a human behavior and cultural practice. The Bangla translation of the beginning chapter of Rice will inspire Bengali youth ethnomusicologists to look into music and human being in much more creative way.
