Britten in Pictures Edited by LUCY WALKER

Britten in Pictures celebrates the many facets of Britten’s life in a major new photographic treatment timed to coincide with the composer’s centenary in 2013. Using the wealth of images housed in the collections of The Britten-Pears Foundation at Aldeburgh, the book charts the curve of Britten’s life, using a selection of rare and previously unpublished images to reveal him anew in all phases of his career,

catching a multitude of informal glimpses of the man ‘behind the scenes’ at work and play as well as in more familiar formal settings. The result is a new and often surprising portrait of this major musical genius. LUCY WALKER is Director of Learning and Development at the Britten-Pears Foundation. She previously edited Benjamin Britten: New Perspectives on his Life and Work (Boydell, 2009) and leads the online Britten Thematic catalogue project.

Inside ConductingCHRISTOPHER SEAMAN

What does a conductor actually do? How much effect does he have? Can the orchestra manage without him? Why don’t the players look at him more? Does he need to be able to play every instrument? How does he arrive at an interpretation? What does he do at rehearsals? Why do some conductors “thrash around” more than others? Who’s the boss in a concerto: the soloist or the conductor? These are some of the questions that receive lively and informative answers in this book by renowned conductor Christopher Seaman. Each article begins

with an anecdote or saying, and ends with quotes from musicians, often expressing opposing views. There are many books on the art of conducting, but none like this. Music lovers wondering what the figure on the podium actually does, and aspiring conductors eager to learn more about the art and craft of leading an orchestra, will all treasure this wise yet humorous book.CHRISTOPHER SEAMAN has been successful “at both ends of the baton.” After four years as principal timpanist of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, he was appointed principal conductor of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, and has enjoyed a busy international conducting career for over forty years. He is now Conductor Laureate for Life of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, New York, and he continues to bring music and wise words to audiences, students, and readers around the world.$29.95/£19.99 July 2013 978 1 58046 411 6 240pp, 9 x 6 (23.4 x 15.6 cm), HB

Elliott Carter’s What Next?Communication, Cooperation, and SeparationGUY CAPUZZO

In 1997, the eminent American composer Elliott Carter teamed with British music critic/librettist Paul Griffiths to create the one-act opera What Next? Hailed by the New York Times as “theatrically dynamic” and “poignant,” the opera explores how six people work together to emerge from the wreckage of an accident. Today, What Next? enjoys a prominent position in Carter’s celebrated “late late” compositional period.In the first book to focus exclusively on one Carter composition, Guy Capuzzo uses the metaphors of communication, cooperation, and separation to trace

the dramatic arc of What Next? through an approach that places stage action, words, and music on equal footing, Capuzzo’s readings of four excerpts from the opera reveal the inner workings of Carter and Griffiths’s tragicomedy. Elliott Carter’s “What Next?”: Communication, Cooperation, and Separation sheds light on a significant work by a major figure in twentieth-century concert music and will be of interest to all who study American music, vocal music, and musical criticism.GUY CAPUZZO is associate professor of music theory at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro.$75.00/£50.00(s) September 2012 978 1 58046 419 2 204pp, 9 x 6 (23.4 x 15.6 cm), HB Eastman Studies in Music

West End BroadwayThe Golden Age of the American Musical in London ADRIAN WRIGHT

West End Broadway is the first book to deal specifically with the ‘Golden Age’ of American musicals in London. Here is a history and a re-evaluation not only of the British productions of Broadway’s most popular product but of the works themselves, beginning with a brief account of the origins of the genre and of the shows seen during World War II. The difficult conditions of war-torn Britain prepared the ground for changes that would come with peace. While Britain clung to tried formulas, a refreshing breeze was blowing in from the

Atlantic, altering the nature of British theatre by sending New York’s commercially successful musicals to The West End. The wider relevance of this history is underscored, as is the fact that these works effectively imported American social history into the culture of a Britain coping with the aftermath of conflict. In London, critical reaction to Broadway musicals was often strikingly different from that awarded in New York, and Broadway success could result in West End failure, while off-Broadway shows struggled to gain hold in Britain.West End Broadway discusses every American musical seen in London between 1945 and 1972. Offering a unique panoramic essay on British theatre of the Golden Age, West End Broadway is an authoritative, challenging and diverting contribution to an understanding of a forgotten aspect of the Broadway musical.ADRIAN WRIGHT is the author of Foreign Country: The Life of L.P. Hartley (1996), John Lehmann: A Pagan Adventure (1998), The Innumerable Dance: The Life and Work of William Alwyn (2008) and the novel Maroon (2010). His previous book, A Tanner’s Worth of Tune (Boydell & Brewer, 2010), told the story of the post-war British musical. He lives in Norfolk, where he runs Must Close Saturday Records, a company dedicated to British musical theatre.$45.00/£25.00 November 2012 978 1 84383 791 6 40 b/w illus.; 352pp, 23.4 x 15.6 (9 x 6 in), HB

Medieval English Lyrics and CarolsEdited by THOMAS G. DUNCANLyrics and carols are two of the most important types of medieval literature, enjoying immense popularity. This anthology provides a generous and wide-ranging selection, from the religious lyrics featuring Christ and the Virgin Mary to secular examples whose subjects include lecherous priests, minstrels mocking their audiences, and women listing their lovers’ inadequacies. The texts are provided in fresh editions, accompanied with a textual apparatus detailing manuscript readings where emendations have been made to restore sense, metre and rhyme. To assist the reader, unfamiliar spellings in later lyrics have been regularized, and line-by-line glosses are provided. An extensive introduction offers an appraisal of the forms, themes and contexts of the lyrics and a full discussion of their language and metre, while a comprehensive commentary gives further essential information.THOMAS G.

Performance and the Middle English RomanceLINDA MARIE ZAERR

Although English medieval minstrels performed gestes, a genre closely related to romance, often playing the harp or the fiddle, the question of if, and how, Middle English romance was performed has been hotly debated. Here, the performance tradition is

explored by combining textual, historical and musicological scholarship with practical experience from a noted musician. Using previously unrecognised evidence, the author reconstructs a realistic model of minstrel performance, showing how a simple melody can interact with the text, and vice versa. She argues that elements in Middle English romance which may seem simplistic or repetitive may in fact be incomplete, as missing an integral musical dimension; metrical irregularities, for example, may be relics of sophisticated rhythmic variation that make sense only with music.LINDA MARIE ZAERR is Professor of Medieval Studies at Boise State University.$90.00/£50.00(s) August 2012 978 1 84384 323 8, eISBN 978 1 78204 022 4 296pp, 23.4 x 15.6 (9 x 6 in), HB Studies in Medieval Romance

Music and Meaning in Old Hispanic Lenten ChantsPsalmi, threni and the Easter Vigil CanticlesEMMA HORNBY & REBECCA MALOYAlthough Old Hispanic liturgical chant has long been considered one of the most important medieval chant traditions, its musical notation shows only where the melodies rise and fall, not precise intervals or pitches, and this lack of pitch-readable notation has prevented scholars from fully engaging with the surviving sources. Focussing on three genres of chant sung during the Old Hispanic Lent (the threni, psalmi, and Easter Vigil canticles), this book takes a holistic view of the texts and melodies, setting them in the context of their liturgical and intellectual surroundings. It concludes that the theologically purposeful text selections combine with carefully shaped melodies to guide the devotional practice of their hearers.EMMA HORNBY is Senior Lecturer, University of Bristol; REBECCA MALOY is Associate Professor, University of Colorado at Boulder.$130.00/£75.00(s) May 2013 978 1 84383 814 2 14 b/w illus.; 564pp, 24.4 x 17.2 (9.6 x 6.7 in), HB Studies in Medieval and Renaissance Music

The Songs and Travels of a Tudor MinstrelRichard Sheale of TamworthANDREW TAYLOR

Richard Sheale, a harper and balladeer from Tamworth, is virtually the only English minstrel whose life story is known to us in any detail. Through a careful examination of the manuscript which Sheale almost certainly “wrote” and other records, the

author argues that the oral tradition remained vibrant at this period, contrary to the common idea that print had by this stage destroyed traditional minstrelsy. The author shows that under the patronage of Edward Stanley, earl of Derby, and his son, Sheale recited and collected ballads and travelled to and from London to market them.

Dance in Handel’s London OperasSARAH MCCLEAVE

Handel set himself apart from his contemporaries by employing choreographed instrumental music to complement and reinforce the emotional impact of his operas – fourteen of his operas feature dances. Dance in Handel’s London Operas explores the

relationship between music, drama, and dance, rejecting the notion that dances were a largely peripheral element in Italian-language operas prior to those of Gluck. Taking a chronological approach, Sarah McCleave examines operas written throughout various periods in Handel’s life. In considering the various influences on Handel, she blends analysis of the available information in eighteenth-century treatises with more modern studies, offering an informed and imaginative understanding of the role dance played in the work of an undeniably major figure.SARAH McCLEAVE is a Lecturer at The School of Creative Arts at Queen’s University Belfast.$80.00/£55.00(s) February 2013 978 1 58046 420 8 14 b/w illus.; 292pp, 9 x 6 (23.4 x 15.6 cm), HB Eastman Studies in Music

Words and Notes in the Long Nineteenth CenturyEdited by PHYLLIS WELIVER & KATHARINE ELLIS

Words and Notes encourages a new wave of scholarship inspired by the ways writers and musicians of the long nineteenth century themselves approached the relationship between music and words. Contributors to the volume engage in two

dialogues: with nineteenth-century conceptions of word-music relations, and with each other. Criss-crossing disciplinary boundaries, the authors of the book’s eleven essays address new questions relating to listening, imagining and performing music, the act of critique, and music’s links with philosophy and aesthetics. The many points of intersection are elucidated in an editorial introduction and via a reflective afterword. Fiction and poetry, musicography, philosophy, music theory, science and music analysis all feature, as do traditions within English, French and German studies.PHYLLIS WELIVER is Associate Professor of English, Saint Louis University.KATHARINE ELLIS is Professor of Music, Royal Holloway, University of London.

Wagner and Venice FictionalizedVariations on a ThemeJOHN W. BARKER

The vast literature about Richard Wagner and his works includes a surprising number of fictional works, including novels, plays, satires, and an opera. Many of these deal with his last years and his death in Venice in 1883. These fictional treatments – many

presented here in English for the first time – reveal a striking evolution in the way that Wagner’s character and reputation have been viewed over more than a century. They offer insights into changing contexts in Western intellectual and cultural history. And they make clear how much Wagner’s associations with Venice have become part of the accumulated mythology of “the floating city.”JOHN W. BARKER is emeritus professor of history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, specializing in medieval (including Venetian) history.

supernatural, gender, sexuality, violence, heroism, masculinity and power. It shows how the idea of virtuosity spiralled out of control, acquiring a potent, overwhelmingly negative aura in the process, as the mythology surrounding Paganini outlived and outgrew the man to monstrous proportions.MAI KAWABATA is Lecturer in Music at the University of East Anglia and a professional violinist.$80.00/£45.00(s) August 2013 978 1 84383 756 5 15 b/w illus.; 288pp, 23.4 x 15.6 (9 x 6 in), HB

These works, most of which had been neglected during the nineteenth century, became the central exhibits in what William Gibbons calls the Operatic Museum – a simultaneously physical and conceptual space in which great masterworks from the past and present could, like works of visual art in the Louvre, entertain audiences while educating them in their own history and national identity. Drawing on the fields of musicology, museum studies, art history, and literature, Building the Operatic Museum explores how this seemingly simple idea represented a fundamental shift in how French audiences, critics, and composers understood the nature and function of music history, as well as their own place in it.WILLIAM GIBBONS is Assistant Professor of Musicology at Texas Christian University.$85.00/£55.00(s) June 2013 978 1 58046 400 0 16 b/w illus.; 316pp, 9 x 6 (23.4 x 15.6 cm), HB Eastman Studies in Music

Pierre CochereauOrganist of Notre-DameANTHONY HAMMOND

Anthony Hammond’s long-awaited book examines the career of one of the twentieth century’s greatest French organists, Pierre Cochereau (1924-84). Described by his teacher, Marcel Dupré, as “a phenomenon without equal in the history of the

NEW SERIES

Music in Society and CultureSeries editors: VANESSA AGNEW, KATHARINE ELLIS, JONATHAN GLIXON, DAVID GRAMIT & JEFFREY JACKSON Consulting editor: TIM BLANNING This series brings history and musicology together in ways that will embed social and cultural questions into the very fabric of music-history writing. Music in Society and Culture approaches music not as a discipline, but as a subject that can be discussed in myriad ways. Those ways are cross-disciplinary, requiring a mastery of more than one mode of enquiry. This series therefore invites research on art and popular music in The Western tradition and in cross-cultural encounters involving Western music, from the early modern period to the twenty-first century. Books in the series will demonstrate how music operates within a particular historical, social, political or institutional context; how and why society and its constituent groups choose their music; how historical, cultural and musical change interrelate; and how, for whom, and why music’s value undergoes critical reassessment.

History in Mighty SoundsMusical Constructions of German National Identity, 1848 -1914BARBARA EICHNER

Music played a central role in the self-conception of many Germans between the 1848 Revolution and the First World War. Although German music was widely held to be ‘universal’ and thus apolitical, it participated in the historicist project of

shaping the nation’s future by calling on the national heritage. A wide variety of musical genres, ranging from pre- and post-Wagnerian opera to popular choruses to symphonic poems, provides for a new perspective on how national identities were constructed, shaped and celebrated in and through music. History in Mighty Sounds will be indispensable reading for anyone interested in nineteenth-century German music, history and nationalism.BARBARA EICHNER is Senior Lecturer in Musicology at Oxford Brookes University. $95.00/£55.00(s) October 2012 978 1 84383 754 1 14 b/w illus.; 302pp, 23.4 x 15.6 (9 x 6 in), HB Music in Society and Culture

Music and Ultra-Modernism in France A Fragile Consensus, 1913-1939BARBARA L. KELLYMusic and Ultra-Modernism in France examines the priorities of three generational groupings: the pre-war Société Musicale Indépendente of Ravel and his circle, Les Six in the 1920s and Jeune France in 1936, and questions some of the stereotypes that characterise that period. It shows how Stravinsky worked closely with Ravel, Satie and Poulenc, inviting audiences and critics to rethink what it meant to be modern, and how Emile Vuillermoz, Léon Vallas and Henry Prunières competed to shape Debussy’s legacy. The book argues for the vitality of French music in the period 1913-39 and challenges the received view that the period and its musical culture lacked dynamism, innovation or serious musical debate.BARBARA L.

Lennox Berkeley and FriendsWritings, Letters and InterviewsEdited by PETER DICKINSON

This book is a major source of information about one of the most influential British composers of the mid-twentieth century and the musicians he knew. Berkeley was an elegant writer and it is fascinating to read his first-hand memories of composers such as Ravel,

Poulenc, Stravinsky and Britten. The book also contains interviews with Berkeley’s colleagues, friends and family. These include performers such as Julian Bream and Norman Del Mar; composers Nicholas Maw and Malcolm Williamson; the composer’s eldest son Michael, the composer and broadcaster, and Lady Berkeley. Lennox Berkeley knew Britten well and there are many references to him in this eminently readable collection.PETER DICKINSON, British composer and pianist, has written and edited numerous books about twentieth-century music, including The Music of Lennox Berkeley (Boydell Press, 2003). $80.00/£45.00 October 2012 978 1 84383 785 5 32 b/w illus.; 344pp, 23.4 x 15.6 (9 x 6 in), HB

Toscanini in BritainCHRISTOPHER DYMENT

Although the most renowned conductor of his era, Toscanini spent much of the first half of his career in a handful of opera houses in Italy and the United States: only in the 1920s did he start to conduct in the world’s great capital cities. Among these centres,

London became the most favoured; Toscanini’s thirty concerts there between 1930 and 1952 familiarised audiences and critics with his work more thoroughly than elsewhere, apart from Italy and the United States. His activities in Britain are here recounted systematically for the first time, in particular how he came to conduct the BBC Symphony Orchestra in its early years and to make some famed recordings with them. This book will fascinate those with a particular interest in Toscanini’s career and recorded legacy. It is also essential reading for anyone with an interest in the history of conducting and recording in the first half of the twentieth century.CHRISTOPHER DYMENT has written extensively about historic conductors since the 1970s, particularly Felix Weingartner and Arturo Toscanini. $50.00/£30.00 November 2012 978 1 84383 789 3 62 b/w illus.; 381pp, 23.4 x 15.6 (9 x 6 in), HB

The Aesthetic Life of Cyril ScottSARAH COLLINS

Cyril Scott (1879-1970) was considered one of the most promising young talents in modern British music at the turn of the twentieth century. Scott was not merely a composer but an artist in the broadest possible sense of the term, whose aesthetic ideas informed

both his creative practice and his mode of living. This book provides the first comprehensive account of Scott’s life and influences as well as an outline and contextualization of his aesthetic thinking. It traces his conception of the function of art and the role of the artist from the metaphysical aesthetics of Symbolism through to various esoteric traditions and shows how the cross-pollination of ideas allowed him to develop a fully integrated rationale for his art and life. The story of Scott’s intellectual development guides the reader through some of the most fascinating discourses of European modernity.

British Music and Literary ContextArtistic Connections in the Long Nineteenth CenturyMICHAEL ALLIS

British Music and Literary Context shows that British composers displayed a real confidence and assurance in refiguring literary texts in their music. It explores how a literary context might offer modern audiences and listeners a ‘way in’ to appreciate specific works

that have traditionally been viewed as problematic. Issues highlighted in the book include the vexed relationship between words and music, the refiguring of literary narratives as musical structures, and the ways in which musical settings or representations of literary texts might be seen as critical ‘readings’ of those texts. Anyone interested in nineteenth century British music, literature and Victorian studies will enjoy this thought-provoking and perceptive book.MICHAEL ALLIS is Senior Lecturer in the School of Music, University of Leeds$99.00/£60.00(s) June 2012 978 1 84383 730 5, eISBN 978 1 84615 955 8 1 b/w illus.; 332pp, 23.4 x 15.6 (9 x 6 in), HB Music in Britain, 1600-1900

Elgar’s EarningsJOHN DRYSDALEThe late nineteenth century was a propitious time for British composers. But while the demand from music publishers for their works grew substantially, the copyright and royalty terms were such that even successful composers could not achieve the levels of earnings enjoyed by other creative artists such as authors, painters and dramatists. However, in the early twentieth century, new sources of earnings emerged, notably performing fees, broadcasting fees and royalties from record sales.This book investigates whether Elgar’s complaints about a lack of money can be justified by the facts. It examines the relatively poor terms offered by music publishers to composers of serious music in general and Elgar in particular and explores the reasons why successful painters and authors could obtain much better terms. This comparative analysis enriches our understanding of the economic and social forces at work in nineteenth and early twentieth century Britain and shows how Elgar, despite his insecure financial position, helped to establish the profession of the English composer, to the lasting benefit of future generations.JOHN DRYSDALE is a musicologist and former investment banker.$90.00/£50.00(s) May 2013 978 1 84383 741 1 224pp, 23.4 x 15.6 (9 x 6 in), HB

Music behind Barbed WireA Diary of Summer 1940HANS GáLThe Austrian composer Hans Gál (1890-1987) was one of many Jewish refugees who fled to Britain from Hitler’s Third Reich only to find themselves interned in prison camps in Britain as ‘enemy aliens’. Gál thus spent five months over the summer of 1940 in internment camps in Edinburgh, then at Huyton, near Liverpool, and on the Isle of Man. Many of Gál’s fellow internees went on, like Gál himself, to become shaping forces in the intellectual life of Britain – but in captivity this colourful parade of characters had to put up with bureaucratic inertia and the indifference of their captors to their undeserved fate. The diary Gál kept during his captivity vividly describes the difficulties the internees had to overcome to live as normal a life as possible. Gál’s contribution, of course, was music, and the CD with this book presents first recordings of the Huyton Suite he wrote for two violins and flute (the only instruments available to him), the satirical review What a Life! composed on the Isle of Man and the piano suite he drew from it. Introductory chapters by Gál’s daughter and by Richard Dove present a biographical survey of Gál’s life and career and an examination of British internment policy; the Foreword is by the distinguished economist Sir Alan Peacock, who studied composition with Gál. Together they throw light on one of the more shameful British responses to the threat of Nazi invasion.$70.00/£40.00 November 2012 978 0 90768 975 1 12 b/w illus.; 190pp, 23.4 x16.5 (9 x 6 in), HB with CDTO C CATA PRESS

Question-and-answer sessions between composers and audiences followed the concerts, prompting discussions, arguments, and sometimes even riots, documented in nearly complete transcripts. While the structure of the Forum in some ways removed barriers between composers and audience, it also provoked confrontation.

Sacred Song and the Pennsylvania DutchDANIEL JAY GRIMMINGER

The Pennsylvania Dutch comprised the largest single ethnic group in the early American Republic of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Pennsylvania Dutch Lutheran and Reformed People struggled to maintain their own distinct ethnic identity in

everything that they did, while also considering themselves a permanent thread in the American fabric. Sacred Song and the Pennsylvania Dutch is the only in-depth study of the shifting identity of the Pennsylvania Dutch as seen in their music. Through a closer examination of music sources, folk art, and historical contexts, this interdisciplinary study sheds light on the process of cultural change that occurred over the course of a century or more in the majority of Pennsylvania German communities and churches. DANIEL GRIMMINGER holds doctorates in sacred music and choral conducting, as well as in musicology. He also holds the master of theological studies degree and is a clergyman in the North American Lutheran Church.

John Kirkpatrick, American Music, and the Printed PageDREW MASSEY For over sixty years, the scholar and pianist John Kirkpatrick tirelessly promoted and championed the music of American composers. In this book, Drew Massey explores how Kirkpatrick’s career as an editor of music shaped the music and legacies of American modernists including Aaron Copland, Ross Lee Finney, Roy Harris, Hunter Johnson, Charles Ives, Robert Palmer, and Carl Ruggles. By drawing on oral histories, interviews, and Kirkpatrick’s own extensive archives, this book argues that Kirkpatrick’s career invites a reconsideration of many of the most important debates in American modernism -- about young composers’ self-fashioning during the 1940s; about the cherished myth of Ruggles as a composer in communion with the “timeless”; about Ives’s status as a pioneer of modernist techniques.DREW MASSEY is an assistant professor of music at Binghamton University.$90.00/£60.00(s) June 2013 978 1 58046 404 8 21 colour illus.; 262pp, 9 x 6 (23.4 x 15.6 cm), HB Eastman Studies in Music

A Theory of Music AnalysisOn Segmentation and Associative OrganizationD ORA A. HANNINEN

This book introduces a theory of music analysis that analysts can use to delve into aspects of segmentation and associative organization in a wide range of repertoire from the Baroque to the present. Rather than a methodology, the theory provides analysts with a

precise language and broad, flexible conceptual framework that they can when formulating and investigating questions of interest and develop their own interpretations of individual pieces and passages. The theory begins with a basic distinction among three domains of musical experience and discourse about it: the sonic; the contextual; and the structural. A comprehensive presentation of the theory is balanced with close analyses of works by Beethoven, Debussy, Nancarrow, Riley, Feldman, and Morris.DORA A.

Yorùbá Music in the Twentieth CenturyIdentity, Agency, and Performance PracticeB ODE OMOJOLA

Yorùbá musical traditions have been shaped by individual performers who express self-mediated visions of their social and cultural environment. This study explores the role of the performer and the performing group in creating these traditions. Drawing on extensive field research conducted over the course of two decades, Bode Omojola examines traditional Yorùbá genres such as bàtá and dùndún drumming as well as more contemporary genres such as Yorùbá popular music. Throughout, Omojola emphasizes the interrelatedness of the

different components of the Yorùbá musical landscape, as well as the role of specific individuals and groups of musicians, who have continued to draw from indigenous Yorùbá musical resources to create new musical forms in the process of engaging the social dynamics of a rapidly changing environment.BODE OMOJOLA is a Five College Associate Professor of Music at Mt.

Burma’s Pop Music IndustryCreators, Distributors, CensorsHEATHER MACLACHLAN

Burma’s Pop Music Industry is the first book to explore the contemporary pop music industry in a country that is little known or understood in The West. Based on years of fieldwork in Burma/Myanmar, Heather MacLachlan’s work explores the ways in which aspiring musical artists are forging a place within the highly repressive social and political context that is Burma today. It deals sensitively with issues such as negotiating local and global styles, performance contexts and practices, and, more importantly, with ethical issues such as

the anonymity of informants and the place of Western ethnomusicologists in countries outside The West. HEATHER MacLACHLAN is assistant professor of music, University of Dayton.$85.00/£55.00(s) November 2011 978 1 58046 386 7 15 b/w illus.; 234pp, 9 x 6 (23.4 x 15.6 cm), HB Eastman/Rochester Studies Ethnomusicology
