Soft cover. Condition: New. 144 pages : illustrations, maps, music ; 25 cm. "This book is a direct product of an international celebration of fiddle music and dance that was held in Aberdeen, 25-29 July 2001. The North Atlantic Fiddle Convention was conceived as a combination of a festival and an academic conference and the theme of 'Crossing Boundaries' supported by workshops, interviews and 'market place' events."--Page 1. This collection provides an important contribution to our understanding of the role of fiddle traditions at the beginning of the twenty-first century. It explores the legacy of the British Isles, the richness of the Scandinavian scene, and the vitality of North American fiddling from Cape Breton, Newfoundland, and Ontario. The fourteen selected essays cover a range of themes, including revival, marginalization, diaspora, gender, institutionalization, cultural tourism, acculturation, and the interrelationships of music and dance. Social context and identity form a particular focus, together with repertoire, instrumentation and virtuosity.
