Doukhobor Choral Music

This paper accompanies approximately 21/2 hours of Tape Recordings. These recordings have been edited from a) five L.P. records, four of which have extremely limited distribution (see Discography), and b) five of six tapes collected by myself between 1962 and 1965, at a time when I have even less idea of formal collecting than I do now. My discussion, uneven as it must be, is based upon four books, and upon my own observations and enthusiasms. As such, it is not so much a scholarly dissertation upon Doukhobor Music, as a history of my encounter with it to date. This position is not offered as an excuse for any inadequacies, but as an explanation of some of them.
