The Making of a Musical Canon in Chinese Central Asia: The Uyghur Twelve Muqam (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Throughout the course of the twentieth century, as newly formed nations sought ways to develop and formalize their national identity and acquire a range of identifiable national assets, we find new musical canons springing up across the world. But these canons are not arbitrary collections of works imposed on the public by the authorities. Rather they acquire deep resonance and meaning, both as national symbols and as musical repertoires imbued with aesthetic value. This book traces the formation of one such musical canon: the Twelve Muqam, a set of musical suites linked to the Uyghurs, who are one of China's minority nationalities, and culturally Central Asian Muslims.
