The drum circle games in this volume are designed for all the
people in the circle to play some sort of drum. Many of these same
games can be easily adapted to use all hand percussion or a mixture
of both drums and percussion, and we still call the group a drum
circle. While these rhythm games offer fun and enjoyment for those
who participate, they also teach the individuals about aspects of
cooperative and collaborative rhythmical music making.
This lively and highly informative contribution to the Menuhin
Music Guides covers all aspects of percussion - the instruments,
the percussion section within the orchestra and the use of
percussion in chamber music and as a solo instrument. James Holland
is not afraid to attack composers, conductors and music publishers
as he puts the percussionist's point of view. Among his comments on
how to interpret a percussion score and lay out and play a vast
array of complex instruments are detailed analyses of Walton's
'Facade' and works by Gerhard and Stockhausen.
An icon of global Punjabi culture, the dhol drum inspires an
unbridled love for the instrument far beyond its application to
regional vernacular music. Yet the identities of dhol players
within their local communities and the broadly conceived Punjabi
nation remain obscure. Gibb Schreffler draws on two decades of
research to investigate dhol's place among the cultural formations
within Punjabi communities. Analyzing the identities of musicians,
Schreffler illuminates concepts of musical performance, looks at
how these concepts help create or articulate Punjabi social
structure, and explores identity construction at the intersections
of ethnicity, class, and nationality in Punjab and the diaspora. As
he shows, understanding the identities of dhol players is an
ethical necessity that acknowledges their place in Punjabi cultural
history and helps to repair their representation. An engaging and
rich ethnography, Dhol reveals a beloved instrumental form and the
musical and social practices of its overlooked performers.
