The sustainability of music and other intangible expressions of
culture has been high on the agenda of scholars, governments and
NGOs in recent years. However, there is a striking lack of
systematic research into what exactly affects sustainability across
music cultures. By analyzing case studies of nine highly diverse
music cultures against a single framework that identifies key
factors in music sustainability, Sustainable Futures for Music
Cultures offers an understanding of both the challenges and the
dynamics of music sustainability in the contemporary global
environment, and breathes new life into the previously discredited
realm of comparative musicology, from an emphatically
non-Eurocentric perspective. Situated within the expanding field of
applied ethnomusicology, this book confirms some commonly held
beliefs, challenges others, and reveals sometimes surprising
insights into the dynamics of music cultures. By examining,
comparing and contrasting highly diverse contexts from thriving to
'in urgent need of safeguarding,' Sustainable Futures for Music
Cultures analyzes sustainability across five carefully defined
domains. The book identifies pathways to strategies and tools that
may empower communities to sustain and revitalize their music
heritage on their terms. In this way, this book contributes to
greater scholarly insight, new (sub)disciplinary approaches, and
pathways to improved practical outcomes for the long-term
sustainability of music cultures. As such it will be an essential
resource for ethnomusicologists, as well as scholars and activists
outside of music, with an interest in the preservation of
intangible cultural heritage.
