Pieces of the Musical World: Sounds and Cultures

By Rachel Harris, Rowan Pease, Rachel Harris

In Pieces of the Musical World: Sounds and Cultures, each "piece" is a musical sound or object that provides a springboard from which to tell a story about a particular geographic region. A collaborative venture by staff and research associated with the Department of Music at SOAS, University of London, the text provides an in-depth yet personal treatment of these key musical "pieces," which, when combined with an interactive companion website, mirroring the book's thematic framework, that features audio and video recordings, listening guides, a glossary of musical terms, interviews, and 3D models of instruments and maps, creates for students a complete and enhanced experience of the musical world.
