Description

The Music Road contains contributions on musical cultures from the Mediterranean to India which brings together historical research, philology and ethnographic fieldwork to revive the differentiated voices of this world region. It is here referred to as "the Music Road>", to emphasize the musical traditions in this western half of the "Silk Road", and the transitional nature of its cultural migrations and coherences. Mobility in space, transmission in time and "the East-West imagination" are demonstrated in the following historical cultures: Ancient Gandhar? (N.W. India, first centuries CE) and the tradition of Alexander's conquest; sections on "Intercultural Islam" from medieval Persia to modern Turkey; "Indian encounters" with the West - and vice versa - in music and dance (18th-20th centuries); Greek music and theatre as a bridge between East and West; and Gypsy musical styles in European nationalist music.

About the Author
Richard Strohm has studied musicology, violin, Latin and Italian literature in Munich, Pisa, Milan and Berlin. Since receiving his Ph.D. in 1971 from the Technical University, Berlin he has had a distinguished career in musicology. From 1975 until 1983 he was a Lecturer in Music, and then Reader, at King's College, London before being appointed as Professor of Musicology at Yale, a post he held for seven years. Returning to KCL in 1991 he then moved to Oxford in 1996, where he was the Hether Professor of Music until he retired in 2007. Throughout his career he has held visiting professorships at the Universities of Chicago, Rome, Vienna, Zurich, Budapest (Liszt Academy), and Hamburg. He has published a range of titles on topics such as European music in the 14th-19th centuries, the history of opera, criticism of musicology, and global music history.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
