Since the early transformation of European music practice and theory in the cultural centers of Asia, Latin America, and Africa around 1900, it has become necessary for music history to be conceived globally - a challenge that musicology has hardly faced yet. This book discusses the effects of cultural globalization on processes of composition and distribution of art music in the 20th and 21st century. Christian Utz provides the foundations of a global music historiography, building on new models such as transnationalism, entangled histories, and reflexive globalization. The relationship between music and broader changes in society forms the central focus and is treated as a pivotal music-historical dynamic.

The nine ethnomusicologists who contributed to this volume, balanced in age and gender and hailing from a diverse array of countries, share the goal of stimulating further development in the field of ethnomusicology. By theorizing applied ethnomusicology, offering histories, and detailing practical examples, they explore the themes of peace and conflict studies, ecology, sustainability, and the theoretical and methodological considerations that accompany them. Theory, Method, Sustainability, and Conflict is the first of three paperback volumes derived from the original Oxford Handbook of Applied Ethnomusicology, which can be understood as an applied ethnomusicology project: as a medium of getting to know the thoughts and experiences of global ethnomusicologists, of enriching general knowledge and understanding about ethnomusicologies and applied ethnomusicologies in various parts of the world, and of inspiring readers to put the accumulated knowledge, understanding, and skills into good use for the betterment of our world.

In the light of growing political and religious fundamentalism, this open access book defends the idea of freedom as paramount for the attempt to find common ethical ground in the age of globality. The book sets out to examine as yet unexhausted ways to boost the resilience of the principle of liberalism. Critically reviewing the last 200 years of the philosophy of freedom, it revises the principle of liberty in order to revive it. It discusses many different aspects that fall under its three main topics: the metaphysics of freedom, quantitative freedom and qualitative freedom. Open societies worldwide have come under increasing pressure in the last decades. The belief that politics and markets fare best when guided by the principle of liberty presently faces multiple challenges such as terrorism, climate warming, inequality, populism, and financial crises. In the view of its critics, the idea of freedom no longer offers adequate guidance to meet these challenges and should be partially corrected or even entirely replaced by countervailing values. Against the reduction of freedom to the merely quantitative question as to how much liberties individuals call their own, this book draws attention to the qualitative concerns which and whose opportunities society should foster. It argues that, correctly understood, the idea of liberty commits us to defend as well as advance the freedom of each and every world citizen.

Die Festschrift zum 65. Geburtstag von Peter Revers ehrt eine der wichtigsten Persönlichkeiten der österreichischen Musikwissenschaft der Gegenwart. Seit fast vier Jahrzehnten prägt er auch international das Fach Musikwissenschaft in Vorträgen und Publikationen, durch Symposien und Forschungsprojekte, als Lehrer und Gutachter. Mit dem Thema "Musik im Zusammenhang" ist ein wesentliches Charakteristikum von Revers' Arbeit gefasst. Sein pluraler wissenschaftlicher Ansatz vermag Zusammenhänge in differenzierter Weise sichtbar zu machen - zwischen Musikformen und -gattungen genauso wie zwischen Musik und gesellschaftlichen Entwicklungen. Dies spiegelt sich auch in den 52 Beiträgen des Bandes, die sich vielfältig auf die Forschungen des Geehrten beziehen, so u. a. auf die Musik W. A. Mozarts und Gustav Mahlers, auf die Musikgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts und die Interpretationsforschung.
