This anthology to accompany Gateways to Understanding Music is
comprised of musical "texts." These broadly defined texts-primarily
musical scores-facilitate the integration of score study and music
theory into the ethno/musicology curriculum, a necessary focus in
the training of the professional musician. As posed by the
textbook, the last question in each modular "gateway" is "Where do
I go from here?" This resource provides one more opportunity to go
beyond the textbook to examine music scores and texts in even
greater depth. This anthology is a combination of primary sources
for study: musical scores and music transcriptions, along with a
few primary source documents and musical exercises.

Performing Antiquity: Ancient Greek Music and Dance from Paris to
Delphi, 1890-1930 investigates collaborations between French and
American scholars of Greek antiquity (archaeologists, philologists,
classicists, and musicologists), and the performing artists
(dancers, composers, choreographers and musicians) who brought
their research to life at the birth of Modernism. The book tells
the story of performances taking place at academic conferences, the
Paris Opera, ancient amphitheaters in Delphi, and private homes.
These musical and dance collaborations are built on reciprocity:
the performers gain new insight into their craft while learning new
techniques or repertoire and the scholars gain an opportunity to
bring theory into experimental practice, that is, they have a
chance see/hear/experience what they have studied and imagined. The
performers receive the imprimatur of scholarship, the stamp of
authenticity, and validation for their creative activities. Drawing
from methods and theory from musicology, dance studies, performance
studies, queer studies, archaeology, classics and art history the
book shows how new scholarly methods and technologies altered the
performance, and, ultimately, the reception of music and dance of
the past. Acknowledging and critically examining the complex
relationships performers and scholars had with the pasts they
studied does not undermine their work. Rather, understanding our
own limits, biases, dreams, obsessions, desires, loves, and fears
enriches the ways we perform the past.
