Music Archiving in the World Papers Presented at the Conference on the Occasion of the 100th Anniversary of the Berlin Phonogramm-Archiv Hg./Ed.: Berlin, Gabriele & Simon, Artur 2002 520 p. + Compact Disc Hardcover 17 x 24 cm engl. EUR 50,00 ISBN 3-86135-681-3 This book contains articles by 66 authors who are concerned with the documentation and archival of music and dance. The contributions come from 31 countries from all over the world. In the first section of the book, general recent issues in sound archiving are discussed, such as the significance of archive recordings in modern societies and concepts behind the digitisation of historic sound recordings. The second part gives an insight into the unique qualities of regional and national music archives, not only in industrial metropolises but also in lesser-known places such as Cerreto di Spoleto in the Italian province of Umbria or Port Vila in the South Seas republic of Vanuatu. The articles were presented as papers at the international conference held on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Berlin Phonogramm-Archiv in September, 2000, in Berlin, Germany. One of the oldest music archives in existence, the Berlin Phonogramm-Archiv currently contains the largest collections of music and musical instruments in the world. It was here that the scholarly discipline of comparative musicology, or ethnomusicology, originated about one hundred years ago. Because of its unique collections, the archive has been included in the UNESCO "Memory of the World" Register.

Transcultural Music History. Global Participation and Regional Diversity in the Modern Age   Reinhard Strohm (Ed.) (Intercultural Music Studies Vol.: 24)   2021 448 p. + 4 plates numerous figures, photos and musical notations Index 4 color plates 17 x 24 cm hardcover (UVP) EUR 48,00 ISBN 978-3-86135-656-1   This book engages with a transcultural history of music: with musical events, processes and discourses that happened because the world is not compartmentalised in national cultures. The musical experiences reported in these stories, distributed over several continents, were guided by a ′transcultural consciousness′. This means that the historiographers of African music, the practitioners of military music, the proponents of Bach′s music in other continents, the creators and users of sound media, could act as they did because they were conscious of a globalised cultural environment. They participated in wider options but often insisted on their own diversity. A ′global history of music′ (to quote the Balzan Musicology Project from which this volume originates) would be the sum total of musical histories, large and small, around the world. The focus of this book, however, is on musical processes and debates that have in themselves been conditioned by the transcultural consciousness of the modern era. Nineteen specialists of music history, ethnomusicology and cultural studies describe a surprising patchwork of local expertise and global significance. The people who have contributed to this patchwork are innumerable.   Contents   List of colour plates List of figures List of music examples Index Preface (Reinhard Strohm) Colour plates Introduction Max Peter Baumann: Towards a transcultural music history?
