Pieces of the Musical World: Sounds and Cultures is a
fieldwork-based ethnomusicology textbook that introduces a series
of musical worlds each through a single "piece." It focuses on a
musical sound or object that provides a springboard from which to
tell a story about a particular geographic region, introducing key
aspects of the cultures in which it is embedded, contexts of
performance, the musicians who create or perform it, the journeys
it has travelled, and its changing meanings. A collaborative
venture by staff and research ethnomusicologists associated with
the Department of Music at SOAS, University of London, Pieces of
the Musical World is organized thematically. Three broad themes:
"Place", "Spirituality" and "Movement" help teachers to connect
contemporary issues in ethnomusicology, including soundscape
studies, music and the environment, the politics of identity,
diaspora and globalization, and music and the body. Each of the
book's fourteen chapters highlights a single musical "piece"
broadly defined, spanning the range of "traditional," "popular",
"classical" and "contemporary" musics, and even sounds which might
be considered "not music." Primary sources and a web site hosting
recordings with interactive listening guides, a glossary of musical
terms and interviews all help to create a unique and dynamic
learning experience of our musical world.
