Mr. Arom’s landmark book African Polyphony and Polyrhythm, published in French (1986) and English (1991), is an undisputed classic in the field of musical ethnography, and was awarded the prestigious ASCAP Deems Taylor Award in 1992. Arom received the Silver Medal of the C.N.R.S. in 1984 for his development of methods of analysis of traditional, unwritten polyphonic music.With his book, and in general as a researcher, thinker and writer about music, Mr. Arom’s work has influenced generations of ethnomusicologists, composers, and musicians.
