This reference comprises Volume 8 in a 10-volume set that explores the music of the world. Rice (ethnomusicology, UCLA), James Porter (Scottish ethnology, U. of Aberdeen) and Chris Goertzen (music, Earlham College) offer 70-plus articles that cover music and its relation to dance, folklore, poetry, religion, and history. Following a discussion of Europe as a musical area and what unifies and diversifies its many different cultural and geographic regions, they look at the history of music, musical performance, European ideas, gender, immigration, and ideology. They also address traditional musical instruments, the transmission of music between generations, and popular, rock, and world musics. Finally, they present the musical cultures country by country, including transnational ethnic groups that have greatly influenced European culture. The included CD-ROM contains audio examples, notes for which can be found at the end of the encyclopedia. Contains many b&w photos, as well as guides to publications, recordings, films and videos.
