Musica Asiatica

By Laurence Picken

This volume contains essays on frequency-doubling chordophones and their relevance to the 'plucked' drums and to the string/table angles in harps; different aspects of word-setting in Burmese and Chinese art-song; mouth-organ and lute parts of Togaku ; and the five-stringed lute in East Asia. A complete transcription of a ninth-century score in tablature for five-stringed lute is also included.
