Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

Collection comprises audio recordings made by Richard Moyle in Tonga during the period 1973-1977. The recordings present a survey of traditional Tongan music from some sixty-two villages throughout Tonga, and the first ethnomusicological study of Tonga’s oral traditions. Recordings are arranged by source and appear in chronological order. Field Recordings, the primary material made by Moyle, are arranged by island group. The Tonga Broadcasting Commission recordings were made available to Moyle by successive Station Managers of Radio Tonga for research purposes, as were copies of third-party recordings from other sources. Some in-house transcriptions, for some items, are present in the Collection File. Please contact the repository for more information.

To aid searching for specific items, please be aware of the use of glottal stops. If the key word includes a glottal stop, but none is found when the glottal stop is marked in the search string, please try again without the glottal stop.
