Black Sea Sketches is a portrait of some of the diverse musical
cultures surrounding the Black Sea and in its hinterlands. Its six
separate chapters follow a very broad trajectory from close-ups of
traditional music (chapters 1-4) towards wide-angle studies of art
music (chapters 5-6), and each of them opens windows to big,
border-crossing themes about music and place. A wide variety of
repertoires is discussed: ancient layers of polyphonic music,
bardic songs, traditional music from the coasts and mountains, the
sacred music of Islam and Orthodox Christianity, the art music of
Europe and West Asia, and present-day popular music 'scenes'. The
usual practice is for each chapter to begin with a Black Sea
coastal location before reaching out into the hinterlands. The
result is a collection of six relatively discrete essays on
different locations and topics, but with underlying thematic
continuities, and offering a wide-ranging commentary on cultural
difference. Firmly grounded in ethnographic and documentary
research, this is an important study for scholars and researchers
of Ethnomusicology, as also of Caucasian and Russian/East European
Studies.
