This book contains notations of "mugham" performance-a fusion of traditional poetry and musical improvisation-and analysis of hybrid genres, such as "mugham"-operas and symphonic "mugham" by native composers. Intimately connected to the awakening of Azerbaijanian national consciousness while ruled by the Russian Empire and the USSR, "mugham" is inseparable from the contexts in which it is produced and heard. Inna Naroditskaya provides the historical and political contexts for "mugham" and profiles the musicians, musical genealogies, and musical institutions of Azerbaijan. INCLUDES AUDIO CD. |
