4.0 out of 5 starsMotives and Philosophies of World Music Musicians
By Dr. Debra Jan Bibel TOP 500 REVIEWER on November 11, 2009
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
What is not world music? If a Greek musician performs rap or mainstream jazz, is it world music? Elijah Wald, the author, musician, and globetrotter who interviewed these many musicians, provides us with much more than what appears in album press releases or liner notes. His insightful commentaries within each profile, in addition to the regional introductions, are excellent and give the reader a greater understanding of what is regarded as world music and how such musicians balance their traditions and roots with modern audience expectations and desires. Some 65 artists from around the planet are profiled. Even the United States is included, as Hawai'ian and Native American indigenous musicians certainly meet the criteria. Selection is, of course, a personal and pragmatic decision, but I find myself in large agreement and would have included nearly all the representatives. The quality of each section varies with the artist, owing to their own analyses and, I assume, familiarity with English, but even the popular, well-interviewed musicians offer new observations about their art and industry. This, therefore, is a fine book (think gift!) for the world music aficionado and ethnomusicologist. This grand survey will also enrich the curious listener who desires to learn about different world musics and musicians.

5.0 out of 5 starsHomosexual scholarship for all
By Wayne Redhart (@wayneredhart on Twitter!) on July 25, 2007
Format: Paperback
This is a tremendous anthology of homosexual scholarship on classical music. Particularly persuasive is the chapter in which Schubert is 'outed' with reference to his 'Unfinished' 8th Symphony. Who could deny that the deviant use of harmony constitutes anything other than overwhelming proof of his sexual inclinations? I whole-heartedly support the author's view that Schubert's body should be exhumed and interred in a specialist gay cemetery. The well-substantiated accusation that Ives' music is 'homophobic' is quite startling and forces one to question whether his music is valid in the more tolerant society of today. This is a most objective foray into music that should be compulsory reading to all.
