Bella Ciao is the album that kick-started the Italian folk revival
in the mid-1960s, made by Il Nuovo Canzoniere Italiano, a group of
researchers, musicians, and radical intellectuals. Based on a
contested music show that debuted in 1964, Bella Ciao also featured
a double version of the popular song of the same title, an
anti-Fascist anthem from World War II, which was destined to become
one of the most sung political songs in the world and translated
into more than 40 languages. The book reconstructs the history and
the reception of the Bella Ciao project in 1960s' Italy and, more
broadly, explores the origins and the distinctive development of
the Italian folk revival movement through the lens of this pivotal
album.
This collection of seventeen essays newly identifies contributions
to musical culture made by women before 1500 across Europe. You
will learn about repertoire from such diverse locations as Iceland,
Spain, and Italy, and encounter examples of musicianship from the
gender-fluid professional musicians at the Islamicate courts of
Syria to the nuns of Barking Abbey in England. The book shows that
women drove musical patronage, dissemination, composition, and
performance, including within secular and ecclesiastical contexts,
and also reflects on the reception of medieval women's musical
agency by both medieval poets and by modern recording artists.
Contributors are David Catalunya, Lisa Colton, Helen Dell, Annemari

Purcell-Joiner, Megan Quinlan, Leah Stuttard, Claire Taylor Jones,
Melissa Tu, Angelica Vomera, and Anne Bagnall Yardley.

Remediating Sound studies the phenomena of remixing, mashup and
recomposition: forms of reuse and sampling that have come to
characterise much of YouTube's audiovisual content. Through
collaborative composition, collage and cover songs to reaction
videos and political activism , users from diverse backgrounds have
embraced the democratised space of YouTube to open up new and
innovative forms of sonic creativity and push the boundaries of
audiovisual possibilities. Observing the reciprocal flow of
influence that runs between various online platforms, 12 chapters
position YouTube as a central hub for the exploration of digital
sound, music and the moving image. With special focus on aspects of
networked creativity that remain overlooked in contemporary
scholarship, including library music, memetic media, artificial
intelligence, the sonic arts and music fandom, this volume offers
interdisciplinary insight into contemporary audiovisual culture.
In 2015 University Press of Mississippi published Mississippi
Fiddle Tunes and Songs from the 1930s by Harry Bolick and Stephen
T. Austin to critical acclaim and commercial success. Roughly half
of Mississippi's rich, old-time fiddle tradition was documented in
that volume and Harry Bolick has spent the intervening years
working on this book, its sequel. Beginning with Tony Russell's
original mid-1970s fieldwork as a reference, and later working with
Russell, Bolick located and transcribed all of the Mississippi 78
rpm string band recordings. Some of the recording artists like the
Leake County Revelers, Hoyt Ming and His Pep Steppers, and Narmour
& Smith had been well known in the state. Others, like the
Collier Trio, were obscure. This collecting work was followed by
many field trips to Mississippi searching for and locating the
children and grandchildren of the musicians. Previously unheard
recordings and stories, unseen photographs and discoveries of
nearly unknown local fiddlers, such as Jabe Dillon, John Gatwood,
Claude Kennedy, and Homer Grice, followed. The results are now
available in this second, companion volume, Fiddle Tunes from
Mississippi: Commercial and Informal Recordings, 1920-2018. Two
hundred and seventy musical examples supplement the biographies and
photographs of the thirty-five artists documented here. Music comes
from commercial recordings and small pressings of 78 rpm, 45 rpm,
and LP records; collectors' field recordings; and the musicians'
own home tape and disc recordings. Taken together, these two
volumes represent a delightfully comprehensive survey of
Mississippi's fiddle tunes.
Shortlisted for the 2021 Prime Minister's Literary Award for
Australian History. Representing Australian Aboriginal Music and
Dance 1930-1970 offers a rethinking of recent Australian music
history. In this open access book, Amanda Harris presents accounts
of Aboriginal music and dance by Aboriginal performers on public
stages. Harris also historicizes the practices of non-Indigenous
art music composers evoking Aboriginal music in their works,
placing this in the context of emerging cultural institutions and
policy frameworks. Centralizing auditory worlds and audio-visual
evidence, Harris shows the direct relationship between the limits
on Aboriginal people's mobility and non-Indigenous representations
of Aboriginal culture. This book seeks to listen to Aboriginal
accounts of disruption and continuation of Aboriginal cultural
practices and features contributions from Aboriginal scholars
Shannon Foster, Tiriki Onus and Nardi Simpson as personal
interpretations of their family and community histories.
Contextualizing recent music and dance practices in broader
histories of policy, settler colonial structures, and
postcolonizing efforts, the book offers a new lens on the
development of Australian musical cultures. The ebook editions of
this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license
on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by Australian
Research Council.
