rarris's book is a precious, unique source not only for Sibe music and poetry, but also for Sibe history, social life and folklore: it is an excellent example of how such kind of research should be carried out, and the author deserves the gratitude of all those interested in this very special and seldomly studied subject. * Giovanni Stary, Central Asiatic Journal * Dr Harris's book represents a valuable contribution not merely to ethnomusicology, but also to research on shamanism in general. * Shaman * ...a wonderful book. I strongly recommend it to scholars in Chinese music, Chinese studies, ethnomusicolog, anthropology , and those interested in the study of minority groups. * China Quarterly *
