Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Music and Cosmopolitanism is a musical portrait of a city-Rio de Janeiro. Award-winning author Cristina Magaldi takes readers on an auditory tour through the city's early post-Imperial years, a period of crucial transition, as she surveys the city's variegated 'soundscape.' With visits to opera theaters and dance halls, and from symphony concerts to the cabaret, music halls, and the street, Magaldi moves through a gamut of musical expressions in Rio deJaneiro during these critical years of change. Her investigations demonstrate that the city's musical practices were articulated within a cosmopolitan context shared by residents in cities in the Americas andEurope, as she examines the musical and cultural interactions that resulted from early processes of urbanization, globalization, and the circulation of technology and information into and out of the Brazilian capital. While Rio de Janeiro's particular geography, urban spaces, and specific social and ethnic interactions all played roles in characterizing unique local musical practices, Music and Cosmopolitanism focuses on how these practices were linked to and fueled by the circulationof music on the international stage.To understand music and performance as part of a larger system of human connections and disconnections that are always in motion, this book offers astory of musical Rio de Janeiro that was built as much as, or perhaps more so, from the outside in than from within its socio-historical and cultural contexts - a city that grew to become one place containing many worlds.

Hardback. Condition: New. This resource is an interesting look at how European culture, particularly European music, related to the social and cultural experiences of the residents of ninteenth-century Rio de Janeiro. The focus is on how Cariocas (residents of Rio de Janeiro) responded to and often imitated different musical styles imported from Europe. After introducing the local musical setting and showing how musical life in imperial Rio de Janeiro reflected Parisian models, the author discusses the importation of operatic repertory, the use of German classical music as the basis of an elite social class, the role of European music in Brazilian theater, and finally, the emergence of a "national" music. Overall, this study reveals European music as a powerful force in the internal processes of political, cultural, social, and ethnic negotiations during the 19th century government of Emperor Pedro II. Musicologists, Latin American historians, and anyone with an interest in urban studies will find much of interest in this book.…
