Studies on a Global History of Music: A Balzan Musicology Project by Reinhard St

Description: Studies on a Global History of Music by Reinhard Strohm Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The idea of a global history of music may be traced back to the Enlightenment, and today, the question of a conceptual framework for a history of music that pays due attention to global relationships in music is often raised. But how might a historical interpretation of those relationships proceed? How should it position, or justify, itself? What would Western music look like in an account of music history that aspires to be truly global?The studies presented in this volume aim to promote post-European historical thinking. They are based on the idea that a global history of music cannot be one single, hegemonic history. They rather explore the paradigms and terminologies that might describe a history of many different voices. The chapters address historical practices and interpretations of music in different parts of the world, from Japan to Argentina and from Mexico to India. Many of these narratives are about relations between these cultures and the Western tradition; several also consider socio-political and historical circumstances that have affected music in the various regions. The book addresses aspects that Western musical historiography has tended to neglect even when looking at its own culture: performance, dance, nostalgia, topicality, enlightenment, the relationships between traditional, classical, and pop musics, and the regards croisés between European, Asian, or Latin American interpretations of each others musical traditions.These studies have been derived from the Balzan Musicology Project Towards a Global History of Music (2013–2016), which was funded by the International Balzan Foundation through the award of the Balzan Prize in Musicology to the editor, and designed by music historians and ethnomusicologists together. A global history of music may never be written in its entirety, but will rather be realised through interaction, practice, and discussion, in all parts of the world. Author Biography Reinhard Strohm studied musicology, violin, Latin, and Romance languages in Munich, Pisa, Milan and Berlin, and obtained his PhD in 1971 at the TU Berlin. In 1970–1982 he collaborated on a critical edition of the works of Richard Wagner. He taught at Kings College London, UK, in 1975–1983 and 1990–1996, was Professor of Musicology at Yale University, USA, in 1983–1990, and Heather Professor of Music at Oxford University, UK, in 1996–2007. Visiting professorships were held at Chicago, Rome, Vienna, Budapest, Zurich, and Hamburg. Awards include the Dent Medal (RMA) in 1977 and the Balzan Prize (for Musicology) in 2012. Strohms research focuses on European music ca.1400–ca.1800, the history of opera, historiography, and postmodern criticism of musicology.
