*** Music in Korea is one of several case-study volumes that can be
used along with Thinking Musically, the core book in the Global
Music Series. Thinking Musically incorporates music from many
diverse cultures and establishes the framework for exploring the
practice of music around the world. It sets the stage for an array
of case-study volumes, each of which focuses on a single area of
the world. Each case study uses the contemporary musical situation
as a point of departure, covering historical information and
traditions as they relate to the present. ***
Despite its longstanding position as a distinct cultural force in
East Asia, Korea continues to be underrepresented in world music
texts. Music in Korea is the first brief, single-volume text to
provide a thematic, succinct introduction to the music of Korea--a
region whose volatile political climate has often overshadowed its
rich cultural and musical traditions.
Based on author Donna Lee Kwon's extensive fieldwork, the text
features interviews with performers, eyewitness accounts of
performances, and vivid illustrations. Kwon uses three
themes--Korea as a transnational player in East Asia, the
intersection of Korean music and cultural politics, and Korea's
maintenance of its strong cultural identity through both musical
and aesthetic continuity--to survey the region and draw parallels
and contrasts between its various traditions. Each theme lends
itself to a discussion of Korea's classical musical customs and its
contemporary developments. Packaged with an 80-minute audio CD
containing musical examples, the text features numerous listening
activities that engage students with the music. The companion
website (www.oup.com/us/globalmusic) includes supplementary
materials for instructors.
