Timothy D. Taylor

Beyond Exoticism: Western Music and the World

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"A bold and wide-ranging study, from a musical angle, of 'the West and the rest.' Timothy D. Taylor mingles insights from musicology, cultural and social history, and cultural theory to demonstrate the changing ways in which various streams of musical life, in Europe and America, have responded to the wider world. Rameau, Mozart, Ives, and Ravel here stand cheek by jowl with Bill Laswell, "bhangra," Hawaiian cowboy music, and TV ads, challenging--and reinvigorating--such easy labels as 'exotic' and 'multicultural.'"--Ralph P. Locke, Professor of Musicology, Eastman School of Music, University of Rochester
