It sets the stage for an array of case-study volumes, each of which focuses on a single area of the world. Each case study uses the contemporary musical situation as a point of departure, covering historical information and traditions as they relate to the present. *** \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDespite its longstanding position as a distinct cultural force in East Asia, Korea continues to be underrepresented in world music texts. \u003cem\u003eMusic in Korea\u003c\/em\u003e is the first brief, single-volume text to provide a thematic, succinct introduction to the music of Korea--a region whose volatile political climate has often overshadowed its rich cultural and musical traditions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on author Donna Lee Kwon's extensive fieldwork, the text features interviews with performers, eyewitness accounts of performances, and vivid illustrations. Kwon uses three themes--Korea as a transnational player in East Asia, the intersection of Korean music and cultural politics, and Korea's maintenance of its strong cultural identity through both musical and aesthetic continuity--to survey the region and draw parallels and contrasts between its various traditions. Each theme lends itself to a discussion of Korea's classical musical customs and its contemporary developments. Packaged with an 80-minute audio CD containing musical examples, the text features numerous listening activities that engage students with the music. The companion website (www.oup.com\/us\/globalmusic) includes supplementary materials for instructors.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47599812280471,"sku":"9780195368277","price":12298.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780195368277.webp?v=1775005902","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/music-in-korea-experiencing-music-expressing-culture-with-cd-audio-9780195368277","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
