A collaborative venture by staff and research associated with the Department of Music at SOAS, University of London, the text provides in-depth introductions to key aspects of the cultures in which these musical 'pieces' are embedded, the contexts of performance, the musicians who create or perform them, the journeys they have taken, and their evolving meanings and connotations. Organized thematically, with an emphasis on the role of field research, each of the book's fourteen chapters highlights a single musical 'piece' broadly defined, spanning the range of 'traditional,' 'popular', 'classical' and 'contemporary' musics, and even sounds which might be considered 'not music,' and in the processs, explores topics of interest to the discipline of ethnomusicology, including music and environment, hdigital mediation, globalization and diaspora, politics, among others.With the inclusion of primary sources and an interactive companion website, mirroring the book's thematic framework, that features audio and video recordings, listening guides, a glossary of musical terms, interviews, and 3D models of instruments and maps, this unique and dynamic textbook creates for students a complete and enhanced experience of the musical world.…
