Performance Practice: Ethnomusicological Perspectives

by Bloomsbury Academic

Overview

Gerard Behague presents five culture-, process-, and community-specific case studies of performance that challenge the assumption that contextual differences in performance and performance practice matter little in overall effect. Within the diverse performance contexts evaluated—Hindustani, Karantak, Mali, Berber, American, and Latin American music—the concept of performance practice as the integrated study of sound and context is self-evident although the nature of the empirical data gathered and the perspective and theorectical framework of each study varies significantly.
