Sound Heritage is the first study of music in the historic house
museum, featuring contributions from both music and heritage
scholars and professionals in a richly interdisciplinary approach
to central issues. It examines how music materials can be used to
create narratives about past inhabitants and their surroundings -
including aspects of social and cultural life beyond the activity
of music making itself - and explores how music as sound, material,
and practice can be more consistently and engagingly integrated
into the curation and interpretation of historic houses. The volume
is structured around a selection of thematic chapters and a series
of shorter case studies, each focusing on a specific house, object
or project. Key themes include: Different types of historic house,
including the case of the composer or musician house; what can be
learned from museums and galleries about the use of sound and music
and what may not transfer to the historic house setting Musical
instruments as part of a wider collection; questions of restoration
and public use; and the demands of particular collection types such
as sheet music Musical objects and pieces of music as storytelling
components, and the use of music to affectively colour narratives
or experiences. This is a pioneering study that will appeal to all
those interested in the intersection between Music and Museum and
Heritage Studies. It will also be of interest to scholars and
researchers of Music History, Popular Music, Performance Studies
and Material Culture.
