Music Cultures in Sounds, Words & Images PDF
“Music cultures in sounds, words and images”, edited by Antonio Baldassarre and Tatjana Markovic, is dedicated to the 60th birthday of the Croatian-American musicologist Zdravko Blažekovic (b. 1956, Zagreb).
After his studies of musicology and first working experiences in Zagreb, Blažekovic moved to New York City, where he is since 1996 the executive editor of the RILM – Répertoire International de Littérature Musicale, and since 1998 director of the RCMI – Research Center for Music Iconography as well as editor of one of the leading journals for music iconography, “Music in Art”, in the framework of the Barry S. Brook Center for Music Reserach and Documentation at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
In view of Blažekovic’s very broad multidisciplinary interests, including historical musicology, music iconography, organology, archeology, lexicography and databases, this book contains 38 studies in six languages (English, German, Italian, Serbian, Croatian, Chinese) organized in six chapters: Sounds of nations, Words on musics, Performance of musical cultures, Images on musics, Organology, and Classifying data on music.
