Eleanor Hague (October 7, 1875 – December 25, 1954) was an American folklorist and musicologist, who specialized in the traditional music of Latin America.
[9] In the 1930s, she funded studies of Native American music, including composer Harry Partch's transcription of Charles Fletcher Lummis's wax cylinder recordings,[10] and Frances Densmore's anthropological work.
[11] Hague founded the Jarabe Club at a settlement house in Pasadena, California, to teach Mexican traditional music and dance to young people, and she directed the students' performances.
[4][12][13] In 1941, she directed the Jarabe Club dancers when they performed in the National Folk Festival in Washington, D.C.[14] Hague died in 1954, at the age of 79, in Flintridge, California.
[27][28] In 1996, the Children of the Hague Manuscript, an ensemble of young musicians in Atascadero, California, performed music based on the Joseph María García notes at several concerts.
