Fiddles in Luso-Afro-Brazilian Cultures
Fiddles in Luso-Afro-Brazilian Cultures presents fresh data and debates drawn from extensive research to broaden the study of African music by focusing on fiddle playing, exploring rhythm aesthetics and tonal systems within cultural contexts. Focused on Cape Verde, Mozambique and Brazil, the research maps cultural affiliations, addressing cultural displacement and historical ties. It engages with post-colonial power dynamics, highlighting fiddle playing as a form of resistance and revival. Primarily aimed at academic researchers in ethnomusicology and related fields, the book provides detailed analytical descriptions and narratives of artists, instruments and playing styles. It contributes to discussions on music, decolonisation and diasporic communities’ demands for authenticity and recognition. By revealing lesser-known fiddle traditions, it enriches the world music genre, attracting both academic and general readers interested in transcultural music studies.

Opera in the Tropics
Opera in the Tropics is an engaging exploration of theater with music in Brazil from the mid 1500s to the early 1820s. Author Rogério Budasz delves into the practices of the actors, singers, poets, and composers who created and performed Jesuit moral plays, Spanish comedias, and Portuguese vernacular operas and entremezes during the colonial period, as well as the Italian operas that celebrated the new independent nation in 1822. A Brazilian producer claimed in 1825 that the goal of music-theater was to instruct, entertain, and distract the population. Budasz argues that this threefold goal had in fact been present throughout the colonial period, in different combinations and with different...
The Recorder
The fascinating story of a hugely popular instrument, detailing its rich and varied history from the Middle Ages to the present The recorder is perhaps best known today for its educational role. Although it is frequently regarded as a stepping-stone on the path toward higher musical pursuits, this role is just one recent facet of the recorder's fascinating history--which spans professional and amateur music-making since the Middle Ages. In this new addition to the Yale Musical Instrument Series, David Lasocki and Robert Ehrlich trace the evolution of the recorder. Emerging from a variety of flutes played by fourteenth-century soldiers, shepherds, and watchmen, the recorder swiftly became an artistic instrument for courtly and city minstrels. Featured in music by the greatest Baroque composers, including Bach and Handel, in the twentieth century it played a vital role in the Early Music Revival and achieved international popularity and notoriety in mass education. Overall, Lasocki and Ehrlich make a case for the recorder being surprisingly present, and significant, throughout Western music history.
El Origen del Chamamé
Proponemos al lector desafiarse a sí mismo, ampliar su lupa, pensar las fronteras como solo huellas geopolíticas, espacios mutables en el ámbito de la cultura. Tratar de entender la música como resultado de un largo proceso y que cumple una función en el Imaginario Social y en la Memoria Colectiva, porque solo así podremos entender un poco del Chamamé y su ritualidad. La música, la danza, los rituales, la mitología se nutren, dialogan y responden a lagunas, aunque sea imperceptible a nuestros ojos, todas estas expresiones culturales y comportamientos humanos, dan identidad a los pueblos, cumplen una función metafísica y los hacen ir más allá de lo que se les presenta como ciencia. Quizás por eso Chamamé es uno de los pocos ritmos musicales que trae consigo el extraño fervor del cuestionamiento: ¿De dónde salió todo esto? ¿Por qué somos así? ¿Qué historias tiene este ritmo para contarnos?

Mission durch Musik
Spektakuläre Nachrichten drangen im Laufe des 17. Jahrhunderts aus den Missionsstationen der Jesuiten, vor allem aus der Provinz Paraguay, nach Europa: Unter Anleitung der Missionare spielten indigene Menschen dort in Orchestern europäische Musik, sie stellten Instrumente, sogar Orgeln, selbst her und sangen, angeblich besser als in der Alten Welt. Dies ist das Narrativ von Mission durch Musik: Missionare wandten ihre europäischen Denkmuster - Musikpraxis als Hinführung zu einer vermeintlich höheren zivilisatorischen Stufe - im kolonialen Kontext Hispanoamerikas an, ohne indigene Traditionen, Sitten oder Musiken zu beachten. Sie etablierten die Musikpraxis vor Ort, mit allen Folgen, und berichteten diese 'Erfolgsgeschichte' zurück nach Europa, um die Wirkung ihrer Arbeit zu beweisen: Denn je mehr und je bessere europa?ische Musik gespielt wurde, desto christlicher mussten die Menschen vor Ort wohl sein. Die in den Berichten der Missionare völlig ungebrochene Erzählung von Mission durch Musik wird hier erstmals durch bisher unbekanntes Quellenmaterial kontextualisiert und bis ins Heute nachgezeichnet.
