This study addresses music-making throughout a relatively large geographical region, one that extends beyond Southern California to include part of Northern Baja California in Mexico and also a portion of Arizona, an area designated here as the Extended Southern California Region (ESCR). Throughout the ESCR, singers from the various tribes perform "song cycles." A night-long performance of a song cycle generally involves the singing of a series of some 200 to 300 individual songs. In ESCR music, the melody of each song, its words, the rhythm of the percussion instruments used (most commonly hand-held gourd rattles), and the dance steps are closely integrated. The songs in a song cycle are divided into sets, each consisting of two or more songs.

Throughout the ESCR, singers from the various tribes perform "song cycles." A night-long performance of a song cycle generally involves the singing of a series of some 200 to 300 individual songs.

520 $a During the first half of the 20th-century, a number of scholars, including Constance DuBois, Francis Densmore, Alfred Kroeber, Duncan Strong, and Ruth Underhill, studied the culture of one or more tribes. In the process, many of these researchers created transcriptions of songs and/or of the creation stories of a particular tribe. With their transcriptions of creation stories, most scholars sought to create a record of the narrative of each story, but they did not focus on the related question of documenting how each singer-storyteller told his story. However, a survey of a selection of these creation story-texts, taken from different parts of the region in question, shows that they contain a number of clues regarding how they may have been told. Many creation-story texts are divided into episodes, most of which are associated with a set of songs. A rendition of some creation stories may have involved both singing and telling, that is, spoken narration; furthermore, creation stories and song cycles may be similar both in the manner of their performance and in their overall structure.
