When considering the role music played in the major totalitarian
regimes of the century it is music's usefulness as propaganda that
leaps first to mind. But as a number of the chapters in this volume
demonstrate, there is a complex relationship both between art music
and politicised mass culture, and between entertainment and
propaganda. Nationality, self/other, power and ideology are the
dominant themes of this book, whilst key topics include: music in
totalitarian regimes; music as propaganda; music and national
identity; emigre communities and composers; music's role in shaping
identities of 'self' and 'other' and music as both resistance to
and instrument of oppression. Taking the contributions together it
becomes clear that shared experiences such as war, dictatorship,
colonialism, exile and emigration produced different, yet clearly
inter-related musical consequences.
