Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Scarce hardcover, xiv + 366 pages, music notations in text, sources & bibliography, index, NOT ex-library. Weight: 0.77kg / 1.68lb. Missing the dust jacket. Very good interior: clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Boards show faint staining along the upper edge of the front panel, signs of gentle handling wear. --- The book brings together scholars and composers from many parts of Africa and beyond to investigate the range of processes involved in the creation of African music. The study explores how specialists put together music for their instruments or voices and how communities are involved in composition. There are discussions of traditional music and its composition from particular parts of North, South, East and West Africa, and contemporary composers talk about their involvement with African music as part of their material or as their inspiration, including methods of incorporation and assimilation, and their effectiveness. -- Contents: 1.
