Music in Cyprus draws its authors from both sides of the divided
island to give a rounded picture of musical culture from the
beginning of the British colonial period (1878-1960) until today.
The book crosses conventional scholarly divides between musicology
and ethnomusicology in order to achieve a panorama of music,
culture and politics. Shared practices of traditional music and
dance are outlined, and the appropriation of those practices by
both communities in the aftermath of the de facto division of the
island is examined. Art music (European and Ottoman) is also
discussed, both in terms of the structures of musical life and the
creative praxes of composers, and there is an account of the early
stages of a popular music industry. The authors consider such
questions as: What is the role of different musics in defining
national, regional, social and cultural identities in Cyprus? How
do Cypriot alterities illuminate European projects of modernity?
And what has been the impact of westernization and modernization
(and, conversely, of orientalization) on music in Cyprus? The book
will be of interest to students and academics working not only in
both historical musicology and ethnomusicology, but also in the
history and anthropology of Cyprus and of the entire
Greek-Anatolian region.
