The Music Road contains contributions on musical cultures from the
Mediterranean to India which brings together historical research,
philology and ethnographic fieldwork to revive the differentiated
voices of this world region. It is here referred to as "the Music
Road>", to emphasize the musical traditions in this western half
of the "Silk Road", and the transitional nature of its cultural
migrations and coherences. Mobility in space, transmission in time
and "the East-West imagination" are demonstrated in the following
historical cultures: Ancient Gandhar? (N.W. India, first centuries
CE) and the tradition of Alexander's conquest; sections on
"Intercultural Islam" from medieval Persia to modern Turkey;
"Indian encounters" with the West - and vice versa - in music and
dance (18th-20th centuries); Greek music and theatre as a bridge
between East and West; and Gypsy musical styles in European
nationalist music.
