Synopsis
From the rear cover of this 434 page book: "The foremost authorities in the field of music from around the world have contributed twenty original essays for this volume, edited by Elizabeth May.

This book is directed to readers seriously interested in acquainting themselves with musics beyond the confines of Western musicology."
