520 a| This collection of new essays is a wide-ranging exploration of the relationship between music and politics. The contributors start from the conviction that music does not exist in a metaphysical, self-contained world, but is susceptible to interpretation in a socio-political context. The interpretations gathered here are diverse in their approach: some explore the politics of musical production and reception, others deploy the insights of cultural and aesthetic theory, while some writers concentrate on the political--and mythical--significance of particular composers. Drawing from the across a broad range of musics and composers--Shostakovich, Purcell, Ligeti, Elgar, the minimalists--and engaging with a variety of critical positions, this book is an important contribution to the understanding of the relationship between music and society.;
