Abstract:

This book adopts global perspectives on orchestras. It draws on ethnographic, historical and comparative approaches to analyze a variety of orchestral traditions (such as symphony, steel, Indonesian gamelan, Indian film and Vietnamese court). It discusses how orchestras are embedded in socio-historical and economic contexts, and highlights intercultural, compositional and rehearsal processes. The chapters describe orchestral creativity and performance politics. Key considerations are how orchestral musicians work together and organizational infrastructures shaping the orchestra as an instituti

A Cultural History of Western Music in the Industrial Age covers the period from 1790 to 1920, when Western music became entangled with political, technological, and economic change on a global scale.

Abstract:

This chapter suggests that academic folklorists have been slow to undertake study of country music until the late twentieth century in part due to the discipline’s early history as an outgrowth of European, British, and American nineteenth century intellectual movements embracing the notion of the “folk” as a social entity retaining a pure and uncontaminated oral tradition of song. On the other hand, promoters, musicians, and audiences have embraced country music because of both a constructed myth and an authentic legacy of cultural identity, both deriving from American folk music.

Historical ethnomusicology is increasingly acknowledged as a significant emerging subfield of ethnomusicology due to the fact that historical research requires a different set of theories and methods than studies of contemporary practices and many historiographic techniques are rapidly transforming as a result of new technologies. In 2005, Bruno Nettl observed that “the term ‘historical ethnomusicology’ has begun to appear in programs of conferences and in publications” (Nettl 2005, 274), and as recently as 2012 scholars similarly noted “an increasing concern with the writing of musical histor

Since its emergence among Spanish-speaking immigrants in New York City in the 1960s, salsa dance (and music) has become a quintessential symbol of Latin identity in and outside of the United States. The worldwide adoption of the dance has opened up new possibilities for identity construction. Using field research from Accra, Ghana, this chapter explores the ways in which salsa dance has come to inform a pan-African identity, creating moments where local ethnicities become deemphasized. “Traditional” dances in Ghana have historically been viewed as reflecting local “tribal” and/or ethnic identi

The descriptions of music provided here extend beyond considerations of aesthetics, toward an appreciation of what it means for a once-endangered culture to survive, and to thrive, and the contribution that music can make

It explores the reception of these works, especially the long-held viewpoint that these works are more traditional and “objective” when measured against Schumann’s youthful, experimental output.
