A study of Omaha Indian music
A study of Omaha Indian music by Alice C. Fletcher, published in 1893 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, by the Peabody Museum of American Archaeology and Ethnology, as an ethnological record for scholars of Native American song. The single picture is a two-staff musical score in treble and bass clefs, with syllable text set beneath the notes, showing transcribed melodic phrases with slurs and grace-note groupings. A designer might draw on its clean staff lines, rhythmic beam groups, and tidy handwritten-style lyric syllables as a graphic motif.
