This volume demonstrates a new approach to cultural history, as it now being practiced by both historians and musicologists, in their quest to grasp the realms of human experience, understanding, communication and meaning through thestudy of music and of musical practices. Characteristic of their approach is to employ a resonant new methodological synthesis which combines the theoretical perspectives drawn from the 'new cultural history' and 'new musicology' of the 1980s with recent social, sociological, and anthropological theories, or those which attempt to ground language and symbols within both social reality and a social field of power.
