Reviews
"""Both broad and deep, this is perhaps the most profound study of musical rhythm to have yet appeared. These essays, including the editors' remarkable collaborative introduction, offer major theoretical advances, explore traditions previously untapped for such subtle readings, and reveal new riches in musics we thought we knew. It is a book for the musician of today to read and reread, savoring its insight."" -- Michael Tenzer, Professor of Music, University of British Columbia ""The cultural divide of ""the West versus the rest"" has been deconstructed but, in practical terms, not yet overcome in the musicological subdisciplines. This edited volume brings together excellent contributions on an impressively diverse range of musical genres, styles, repertoires, and theorizations, demonstrating that the recent rapprochement between music theory and ethnomusicology is both inspiring and productive."" -- Rainer Polak, Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics"

A performer on the South Indian vina as well as a scholar, he is the author of The Black Cow's Footprint: Time, Space, and Music in the Lives of the Kotas of South India (2005) and The Voice in the Drum: Music, Language and Emotion in Islamicate South Asia (2014), editor of Theorizing the local: Music, practice and experience in south Asia and beyond (2009), and (with Frank Heidemann) The bison and the horn: Indigeneity, performance, and the state of India (2014). He is also General Editor of the series Ethnomusicology Translations, published by the Society for Ethnomusicology. Stephen Blum taught courses and supervised research on a wide range of topics at four institutions from 1969 through 2016. He was founding director of an MFA program in ""Musicology of Contemporary Cultures"" at York University (1977-87) and initiated a doctoral program in ethnomusicology at the CUNY Graduate Center in 1988. His publications include studies of sung poetry in Iran and survey articles on such topics as composition, improvisation, analysis of musical style, historiography of music in North America, and musical knowledge in the early centuries of Islam. He is an Honorary Member of the Society for Ethnomusicology. Christopher Hasty is Walter W. Naumburg Professor of Music at Harvard University where he teaches music theory. His research centers on time and musical rhythm."
