Jorritsma's fieldwork involves an investigation of the choruses, choir music, and hymns of the Karoo region to present a history of the people's traditional, religious, and cultural identity in song. This music is examined as part of a living archive preserved by the community in the face of a legacy of slavery and colonial as well as apartheid oppressioAfrican soundscapes.Church musicSouth AfricaGraaff-ReinetChurch musicProtestant churchesColored people (South Africa)South AfricaGraaff-ReinetMusicHistory and criticismGraaff-Reinet (South Africa)Social life and customsChurch musicChurch musicProtestant churches.Colored people (South Africa)MusicHistory and criticism.782.27/08905960068754Jorritsma Marie R1584726MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789893903321Sonic spaces of the Karoo3868681UNINA
