Books about Ethnomusicologist from Amazon.com

Have you ever wanted to host a full evening of Indian food, culture, and music? How about preparing a traditional Balinese banquet? Or take a trip to the Hebrides and enjoy a Scottish feast? The Ethnomusicologists' Cookbook takes you around the world on a culinary journey that is also a cultural and social odyssey.
Many cookbooks offer a snapshot of individual recipes from different parts of the world, but do nothing to tell the reader how different foods are presented together, or how to relate these foods to other cultural practices. For years, ethnomusicologists have visited the four corners of the earth to collect the music and culture of native peoples, from Africa to the Azores, from Zanzibar to New Zealand. Along the way, they've observed how music is an integral part of social interaction, particularly when it's time for a lavish banquet or celebration. Foodways and cultural expression are not separate; this book emphasizes this connection through offering over 35 complete meals, from appetizers to entrees to side dishes to desserts and drinks. A list of recommended CDs fills out the culinary experience, along with hints on how to present each dish and to organize the overall meal.
The Ethnomusicologists' Cookbook combines scholarship with a unique and fun approach to the study of the world's foods, musics, and cultures. More than just a cookbook, it is an excellent companion for anyone embarking on a cultural-culinary journey..

In profound ways, music in the twentieth century reflects the influence of Bela Bartok. His compositions remain at the heart of the modern repertoire, and his scholarly writings on music and his studies of folk music continue to inspire new generations of scholars and musicians. Bartok Perspectives seeks to paint a complete portrait of this complex figure, presenting essays from a wide range of perspectives and disciplines.

The book collects new work by leading scholars and important new voices on Bartok. While each essay can be read independently, together they provide a coherent view of Bartok's life and work. The book includes integrative theoretic-analytical approaches to Bartok's musical language and studies of his system of composition from its early stages to maturity. It also includes explorations of Bartok's folk-music materials in connection with his fieldwork, transcription techniques, classification methodology, and compositional influences. Many of the chapters examine the broad historical, philosophical, and cultural questions intimately linked to Bartok's work.

Anyone with an interest in Bartok or in serious music in the twentieth century will find Bartok Perspectives an invaluable resource and guide..
