Seediq canonic imitation (Taiwan)

Holmer, Arthur LU and Lundström, Håkan LU (2022) p.189-203
Abstract
The chapter deals with Seediq vocal expressions that start with a short motif that is often repeated once and then followed by another motif, which is repeated once etc. This pattern is sometimes called ‘litany form’. The form that results when two persons sing in alternation is called canonic repetition. It is shown that such performances can be understood as being built on performance templates that enable singers to vary their words.
