Towards a Global Music Theory

Practical Concepts and Methods for the Analysis of Music Across Human Cultures

Beschreibung

Conferences, workshops and curricula are for the first time beginning to develop around the theme of 'world music theory', as students, teachers and researchers recognize the need for analytical concepts and methods applicable to a wider range of human musics. This book proposes a number of such concepts and methods and Mark Hijleh presents a broad attempt to apply them to a variety of musics in a relevant way that can be readily apprehended and applied by students, scholars and teachers.
