Sounding Decolonial Futures: Decentering Ethnomusicology's Colonialist Legacies

Zeisberg 06 “Omaha: He-dhu-shka”

In this arrangement of the original marked as "Harmonized by Prof. J.C. Fillmore," Zeisberg has made the most radical departure--or error--from the original title. He has confused the context of songs related to the He-dhu'-shka Society with the name of one song of many used in association; "Putting on the Insignia of the Thunder God." His narrative description draws on the story included in the Indian Story and Song. He omits the tempo marking of the original "Mysteriously and with Agitation" but keeps the treble line identical for the first three measures. The additions in this arrangement include the arpeggiated bass line later moving to the treble, and moving the voice of the melody around in register and to the left-hand part of the piano. He does not include the text of the original.
