The music of European nationalism

About this book

"This handbook examines how the music of nationalism navigates the borders between styles and repertoires as much as between languages and nations. By analyzing the musical connections bridging class and ideological division, The Music of European Nationalism sheds critical light on national anthems and military music, on the songs of war and peace, and on the music of national majorities and ethnic minorities, from Jewish klezmer music to Baltic and Celtic choruses to the rich resonance of Roma (Gypsy) music."--BOOK JACKET.
