Pieces of the Musical World: Sounds and Cultures
Autor Rachel Harris, Rowan Peaseen Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 mai 2015
A collaborative venture by staff and research ethnomusicologists associated with the Department of Music at SOAS, University of London, Pieces of the Musical World is organized thematically. Three broad themes: "Place", "Spirituality" and "Movement" help teachers to connect contemporary issues in ethnomusicology, including soundscape studies, music and the environment, the politics of identity, diaspora and globalization, and music and the body. Each of the book's fourteen chapters highlights a single musical "piece" broadly defined, spanning the range of "traditional," "popular", "classical" and "contemporary" musics, and even sounds which might be considered "not music."
Primary sources and a web site hosting recordings with interactive listening guides, a glossary of musical terms and interviews all help to create a unique and dynamic learning experience of our musical world.

Descriere
In Pieces of the Musical World: Sounds and Cultures, each "piece" is a musical sound or object that provides a springboard from which to tell a story about a particular geographic region. A collaborative venture by staff and research associated with the Department of Music at SOAS, University of London, the text provides an in-depth yet personal treatment of these key musical "pieces," which, when combined with an interactive companion website, mirroring the book's thematic framework, that features audio and video recordings, listening guides, a glossary of musical terms, interviews, and 3D models of instruments and maps, creates for students a complete and enhanced experience of the musical world.
