The idea of a global history of music may be traced back to the
Enlightenment, and today, the question of a conceptual framework
for a history of music that pays due attention to global
relationships in music is often raised. But how might a historical
interpretation of those relationships proceed? How should it
position, or justify, itself? What would 'Western music' look like
in an account of music history that aspires to be truly global? The
studies presented in this volume aim to promote post-European
historical thinking. They are based on the idea that a global
history of music cannot be one single, hegemonic history. They
rather explore the paradigms and terminologies that might describe
a history of many different voices. The chapters address historical
practices and interpretations of music in different parts of the
world, from Japan to Argentina and from Mexico to India. Many of
these narratives are about relations between these cultures and the
Western tradition; several also consider socio-political and
historical circumstances that have affected music in the various
regions. The book addresses aspects that Western musical
historiography has tended to neglect even when looking at its own
culture: performance, dance, nostalgia, topicality, enlightenment,
the relationships between traditional, classical, and pop musics,
and the regards croises between European, Asian, or Latin American
interpretations of each other's musical traditions. These studies
have been derived from the Balzan Musicology Project Towards a
Global History of Music (2013-2016), which was funded by the
International Balzan Foundation through the award of the Balzan
Prize in Musicology to the editor, and designed by music historians
and ethnomusicologists together. A global history of music may
never be written in its entirety, but will rather be realised
through interaction, practice, and discussion, in all parts of the
world.
