Overview
In a collection of essays from prominent music scholas both in the Czech Republic and abroad, this book provides a nuanced overview of major topics connected to the history of musical culture in the Czech lands (Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia) from the Middle Ages to the present.Whereas most previous English-language musicological scholarship on the Czech lands focused solely on music that was understood as ethnically Czech, this book also considers musical cultures of non-Czech groups that lived, and sometimes still live, in the geographical area, most importantly people of German, Jewish, and Romani backgrounds.Spanning over a thousand years, this book combines innovative approaches to present nuanced perspectives on a complicated musical tradition.This is the first overview of music in the Czech lands to provide such an inclusive view of the region's musical developments.
