Music Worlding in Palau
Music Worlding in Palau: Chanting, Atmospheres, and Meaningfulness is a detailed study of the performing arts in Palau, Micronesia as holistic techniques enabling the experiential corporeality of music’s meaningfulness—that distinctly musical way of making sense of the world with which the felt body immediately resonates but which, to a significant extent, escapes interpretive techniques. Drawing on long-term ethnographic research alongside Pacif…

Sound Ties, ‘Rising from the Depths of Brine and Regions of Fire Deeper Still’
Pacific Indigenous scholars have long emphasized the role of relationality for Pacific Islanders’ epistemologies. In this article, the author rethinks music in terms of the procedural knowledge inherent in and specific to popular music-making by exploring the latter as knowledge practices in Micronesia. This approach opens new vistas on the relationality at the heart of Western Pacific music-making. The author calls the musical manifestation of t…

Wer doch Ohren hat zu hören
Die These, dass es ab den 1870er Jahren zu einer Re-Internationalisierung des Symphonik-Repertoires kam, nachdem dieses zuvor, ab der Kanonisierung des klassischen Wiener Modells, primär von Werken deutscher Komponisten bestimmt wurde, wird am Beispiel der Musikstadt Leipzig überprüft. Leipzig bietet sich für eine repertoire- und rezeptionsgeschichtliche Erforschung der Symphonik im Zeitalter des Nationalismus aus einer städtischen Perspektive be…
Musicking Home in the Southeast Asian Island World
The so-called ‘gong-chime’ belt of Southeast Asia is home to great cultural diversity. Various communities, sometimes occupying borderland areas that stretch over national boundaries, are connected to one another through their practice of different but yet related styles of gong playing. Such groups ‘music’ their home. Importantly, locale is not necessarily a primary reference for all of these groups. The Sama Dilaut, for instance, a maritime peo…

Die Atmosphärenforschung ist angesiedelt an der Schnittstelle von Raumtheorie, Emotionsforschung und anderen Disziplinen und scheint hierdurch einiges an unmittelbarem Potenzial für die musikwissenschaftliche und auch musikalische Analyse zu bieten. Untersucht werden der potenzielle Nutzen der Atmosphärenforschung für die Musikwissenschaft und der potenzielle Nutzen der Musikwissenschaft für die Atmosphärenforschung. Angesprochen wird, ob bzw. wi…
Austronesian Soundscapes
In dit boek worden discipline-overstijgende analyses van de Austronesische muziek naast elkaar gelegd. Daarnaast bieden de studies van de individuele culturen door de 'lens' van muziek belangrijke inzichten op het terrein van de etnomusicologie.
Living the ‘Grand context’
Ancient chants form a central fibre of the current cultural fabric of Palau, a small island nation in the West Pacific. By reverting to extant sources concerning life on the island in early contact and colonial times, it becomes clear that, historically, chants have been closely interconnected with societal structures and indigenous religion, systems in which they perform distinct functions. The oldest recordings that give us an aural idea of the…
