Music And Identity In Ireland And Beyond

This interdisciplinary volume of essays contemplates whether ?usic in Ireland?can be regarded as one interrelated plane of cultural and/or national identity, given the various conceptions and contexts of both Ireland and Music that give rise to multiple sites of identification. Arranged in interweaving sections of ?istorical Perspectives? ?ecent and Contemporary Production?and ?ultural Explorations?its various chapters act to juxtapose the socio-historical distinctions between the major style categories - traditional, classical and popular - and to explore a range of dialectical relationship(s) between these musical styles in matters pertaining to national and cultural identity.
