The Turkic soundscape is both geographically huge and culturally
diverse (twenty-eight countries, republics and districts extending
from Eastern Europe through the Caucasus and throughout Central
Asia). Although the Turkic peoples of the world can trace their
linguistic and genetic ancestries to common sources, their
extensive geographical dispersion and widely varying historical and
political experiences have generated a range of different
expressive music forms. In addition, the break-up of the Soviet
Union and increasing globalization have resulted in the emergence
of new viewpoints on classical and folk traditions, Turkic versions
of globalized popular culture, and re-workings of folk and
religious practices to fit new social needs. In line with the
opening up of many Turkic regions in the post-Soviet era, awareness
of scholarship from these regions has also increased. Consisting of
twelve individual contributions that reflect the geographical
breadth of the area under study, the collection addresses animist
and Islamic religious songs; the historical development of Turkic
musical instruments; ethnography and analysis of classical court
music traditions; cross-cultural influences throughout the Turkic
world; music and mass media; and popular music in traditional
contexts. The result is a well-balanced survey of music in the
Turkic-speaking world, representing folk, popular and classical
traditions equally, as well as discussing how these traditions have
changed in response to growing modernity and cosmopolitanism in
Europe and Central Asia.
