Alan Lomax

Japanese: ロマクス(英語表記)Alan Lomax
Alan Lomax
1915‐2002
American folk song researcher and ethnomusicologist. Since 1937, he has been collecting American folk songs under his father, JA Lomax, who was also a folk song researcher, and developed an anthropological interest in recording folk songs and singing styles. Since then, he has recorded traditional folk songs in the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, and other countries, and produced many LP records, but what really made him famous was the research group of ethnomusicologists he organized in 1963 called the Cantometrics project, where he developed a research method for quantitatively analyzing and comparing various aspects of folk song singing.
