Composing for the State

Music in Twentieth-Century Dictatorships

Herausgeber: Buch, Esteban; Deniz Silva, Manuel; Zubillaga, Igor Contreras

Beschreibung

This book presents ten studies focusing on music inspired and promoted by regimes such as Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, France under Vichy, the USSR and its satellites, Franco's Spain, Salazar's Portugal, Maoist China, and Latin-American dictatorships. By discussing the musical works themselves, whether they were conceived as ways to provide "music for the people", to personally honour the dictator, or to participate in State commemorations of glorious historical events, the book examines the relationship between the composers and the State.
