A Social History of Amateur Music-Making and Scottish National Identity: Scotland’s Printed Music, 1880–1951
Late Victorian Scotland had a flourishing music publishing trade, evidenced by the survival of a plethora of vocal scores and dance tune books; and whether informing us what people actually sang and played at home, danced to, or enjoyed in choirs, or reminding us of the impact of emigration from Britain for both emigrants and their families left behind, examining this neglected repertoire provides an insight into Scottish musical culture and is a valuable addition to the broader social history of Scotland. The decline of the music trade by the mid-twentieth century is attributable to various factors, some external, but others due to the conservative and perhaps somewhat parochial nature of t...
Music and Ideology
This volume gathers together a cross-section of essays and book chapters dealing with the ways in which musicians and their music have been pressed into the service of political, nationalist and racial ideologies. Arranged chronologically according to their subject matter, the selections cover Western and non-Western musics, as well as art and popular musics, from the eighteenth century to the present day. The introduction features detailed commentaries on sources beyond those included in the volume, and as such provides an invaluable and comprehensive reading list for researchers and educators alike. The volume brings together for the first time seminal articles written by leading scholars, and presents them in such a way as to contribute significantly to our understanding of the use and abuse of music for ideological ends.

Listings in the previous volume have been updated to reflect the burgeoning interest in this genre (social aspects, newly issued critical editions, doctoral dissertations). It also offers commentary on online links, databases, and references.
Modern British Symphonies
Britische Sinfonien um 1900 können einerseits als Teil einer nationalen, spezifisch britischen (musikalischen) Moderne verstanden werden. Sie reflektieren demnach Identifikationsdiskurse der Jahrhundertwende. Andererseits sind sie Gattungsbeiträge im Rahmen einer internationalen Gemeinschaft von Komponisten und Komponistinnen. Das Buch fächert die Bedingungen für das Verfassen von Sinfonien am Übergang zum 20. Jahrhundert in England auf. Es geht von einem erweiterten Begriff einer musikalischen Moderne im internationalen Forschungskontext um Decentering Modernity aus. Anhand einzelner Werke – beispielsweise von Edward Elgar, Hubert Parry, Arthur Somervell oder Ralph Vaughan Williams – wird gezeigt, wie sich unterschiedliche Facetten der Moderne in kompositorischen Entscheidungen manifestieren. Dazu gehören landschaftlich und zeitlich gebundene Verweise ebenso wie selbstreflexive Konstruktionen. Damit ergibt sich im Rahmen einer globalgeschichtlichen Perspektive einerseits eine Neubestimmung der Moderne. Andererseits entsteht ein neues Bild der Gattungsgeschichte der Sinfonie. Das Buch versteht sich auch als grundlegender Beitrag zur Methodik musikalischer Analyse.
