Book excerpt: This collection provides a comprehensive review of the current state of Georgian ethnomusicology, with the accent on historical trends. It presents a tribute to Anzor Erkomaishvili, a pivotal figure in Georgian traditional music, the author of many widely known masterpieces of Georgian traditional and church-song repertoires.
