Music in the Post-9/11 World addresses the varied and complex roles
music has played in the wake of September 11, 2001.
Interdisciplinary in approach, international in scope, and critical
in orientation, the twelve essays in this groundbreaking volume
examine a diverse array of musical responses to the terrorist
attacks of that day, and reflect upon the altered social, economic,
and political environment of "post-9/11" music production and
consumption. Individual essays are devoted to the mass-mediated
works of popular musicians such as Bruce Springsteen and Darryl
Worley, as well as to lesser-known musical responses by artists in
countries including Afghanistan, Egypt, Mexico, Morocco, Peru, and
Senegal. Contributors also discuss a range of themes including the
role played by Western classical music in rites of mourning and
commemoration, "invisible" musical practices such as the creation
of television news music, and implicit censorship in the mainstream
media. Taken as a whole, this collection presents powerful evidence
of the central role music has played in expressing, shaping, and
contesting worldwide public attitudes toward the defining event of
the early twenty-first century.
