'Frances Theresa Densmore (1867 – 1957) was an American anthropologist and ethnographer. She is known for her studies of Native American music and culture, and in modern terms, she may be described as an ethnomusicologist. Densmore began recording music officially for the Smithsonian Institution's Bureau of American Ethnology (BAE) in 1907. In her fifty-plus years of studying and preserving American Indian music, she collected thousands of recordings. The National Association for American Composers and Conductors recognized Densmore in its 1940-1941 awards for her musicological work.'
