Seachanges brings together original essays examining human and
cultural mobility from a musical perspective. Musicians have always
been migratory frontrunners, and musical encounters have always
generated nodes of cultural complexity. But hearing past musicking
that took place in diaspora and foreign lands requires new
methodologies designed to center unsettled lives and ephemeral
practices in history. Employing interpretive strategies from
musicology, ethnomusicology, historical performance practice,
sociolinguistics, and cultural history, the contributors
intentionally complicate national and regional accounts of music
from 1550 to 1800. Repertorial subjects include Spanish guitar
music in Italy, Italian songs in Bohemia, Turkish songs in France,
Jewish rituals on Corfu, Jesuit hymns in the Greek Archipelago, and
Ottoman court music; further chapters recover the experiences of
Indigenous musicians in colonial Latin America, the diaspora of
Neapolitan singers, fictional cartographies of Baroque opera, and
the careers of enslaved Black musicians in Venice and
pre-revolutionary Haiti. They promote a new theoretical vocabulary
that coalesces around orality, voice, performers, and performance
as matters to foreground in mobility studies. Seachanges
illustrates how musical microhistories can address mobility at the
macro level of Mediterranean and Atlantic Studies while respecting
the tempo of individual human lives and musical timeframes.
