Music listeners today can effortlessly flip from K-pop to Ravi Shankar to Amadou & Mariam with a few quick clicks of a mouse. While contemporary globalized musical culture has become ubiquitous and unremarkable, its fascinating origins long predate the internet era. In Music and the New Global Culture, Harry Liebersohn traces the origins of global music to a handful of critical transformations that took place between the mid-nineteenth and early twentieth century. In Britain, the arts and crafts movement inspired a fascination with non-Western music; Germany fostered a scholarly approach to global musical comparison, creating the field we now call ethnomusicology; and the United States provided the technological foundation for the dissemination of a diverse spectrum of musical cultures by launching the phonograph industry. This is not just a story of Western innovation, however: Liebersohn shows musical responses to globalization in diverse areas that include the major metropolises of India and China and remote settlements in South America and the Arctic. By tracing this long history of world music, Liebersohn shows how global movement has forever changed how we hear music--and indeed, how we feel about the world around us.

"With his trademark attention to characters, milieus, and technical details, the great cultural historian Liebersohn unfolds the overlaying maps of musical communication in the age of the phonograph. A rare pleasure to read, the book is at the same time a profound inquiry into the many ways in which cultural globalization not just happened but was creatively made by musicians, inventors, scholars, and entrepreneurs."--Jurgen Osterhammel, Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies, author of The Transformation of the World: A History of the Nineteenth Century "This latest book of Liebersohn's is truly a labor of love, which finds expression in the author's infinite curiosity about global sonic encounters. It is about worlds of sound, overlapping, colliding, rarely meeting, often clashing, and yet appreciated, studied, recorded, and performed. It is about the infusion of worldwide sonic cultures into the Western world and it presents an exquisite group of men and a few women who fought prejudice that was all the harder to overcome because soundscapes so intimately touch the senses."--Michael Geyer, University of Chicago
