The Globalization of Music in History

This book contextualizes a globalization process that has since ancient times involved the creation, use, and world-wide movement of song, instrumental music, musical drama, music with dance, concert, secular, popular and religious music. The Globalization of Music in History provides connectivity between the people and the activities and events in which music is used and the means by which it moves from one place to another.
