Copyright 1969 by the Department of Arts, Culture, Science and Technology of South Africa. Numerous attempts were made to contact South African institutions that may have encompassed the Department of Arts, Culture, Science and Technology of South Africa after its closure to gain permission to reproduce this article here; since no responses were received to any of our letters, we have assumed that their publications are now in the public domain. The first section of the original article has been omitted, as it provides introductory information on the Venda girls' initiation cycle as a whole. The musical transcriptions derive from: 1970b. "Tonal Organization in the Music of Two Venda Initiation Schools." Ethnomusicology 14(1):1-54. Copyright 1970 by the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois Press. Used with the permission of the University of Illinois Press. For analytic purposes Blacking placed all the transcriptions in the 'key' of C., and therefore most of them are not transcribed at the pitches in which they are generally performed.
