Book Synopsis Musica Asiatica: Volume 6 by : Allan Marett

Download or read book Musica Asiatica: Volume 6 written by Allan Marett and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1991-05-16 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the sixth volume in a series of books devoted to the history, documentation and analysis of music in Asia. Four essays are dedicated to documents from the past: fifth-century Korean tomb paintings; tenth-century Chinese scores for lute; eighth-century Japanese documents; early Chinese sutras on the perception of sound. The remainder concern contemporary documents: the notations of the Japanese end-blown flute (shakuhachi) and lute (biwa) and their relationship to performance; acoustical analysis of contemporary shakuhachi. The focus on musical documents, whether ancient or modern, provides a unifying thread which renders this volume unique in the ethnomusicological literature on East Asian music.
