- Description:
- Translation and analysis of a song recorded by Arnold Adriaan Bake in 1938: archive, no. 68.6, titled "Lullaby." Krishnaiah identifies the work as a "Cradling Ceremony (naming ceremony) song." The song was played back during a recording session of the Bake Restudy Project in 1984 when Nazir Ali Jairazbhoy and Amy Catlin-Jairazbhoy returned to the original sites of Arnold Adriaan Bake’s 1938 fieldwork in South India (Tamilnadu, Kerala, and Karnataka) in order to solicit responses to Bake’s photographs and audio recordings of various Indian performance traditions in an examination of continuity and change. Transcription by Sarvamangala Honnappa; translation and analysis is by S.A. Krishnaiah.
