The Routledge Handbook of Music and Migration: Theories and Methodologies is a progressive, transdisciplinary paradigm-shifting core text for music and migration studies. Conceptualized as a comprehensive methodological and theoretical guide, it foregrounds the mobile potentials of music and presents key arguments about why musical expressions matter in the discussion of migration politics.24 international specialists in music and migration set methodological and theoretical standards for transdisciplinary collaborations in the field of migration studies, discussing 41 keywords, such as mobility, community, research ethics, human rights, and critical whiteness in the context of music and migration. The authors then apply these terms to 16 chapters, which deal with ethnomusicological, musicological, sociological, anthropological, geographical, pedagogical, political, economic, and media-related methodologies and theories which reflect and contest current discourses of migration. In their interdisciplinary focus, these chapters advance interrelations between music and migration as enabling factors for socio-cultural studies. Furthermore, the authors tackle crucial questions of agency, equality, and equity as well as the responsibilities and expectations of writers and artists when researching migration phenomena as innate human experience. As a result, this handbook provides scholars and students alike with relevant and applicable methodological and theoretical tools in addition to an extensive literature and research review for further research.

Musical Dramaturgy in Musical Theatre discusses the form from the perspective of its most common element: the song. Using a historical approach it surveys how the role of music within a musical theatre structure changed over time, which in turn pushed the function of the score to new dramaturgical levels. After introducing the central idea of musical dramaturgy as one which has a pivotal effect on how musicals are constructed, it considers the principles of musical comedy throughout history and the interplay between the score and libretto. Using early European musicals as a case study it moves on to look at the integrated shows of Rogers and Hammerstein and other Golden Age composers who reframe the dramaturgical structures through the book. It continues to trace the history of the form through a chapter on Rock and concept musicals before finally considering how the Jukebox musical introduced the concept of non-narrative dramaturgy thanks to popular songs. The volume critically reflects on the debates on integration and narration in musical theatre and explores new ways of understanding how musical numbers contribute to the impact and appeal of the stage show. Published in the Topics in Musical Theatre series, it unpacks musical theories in an accessible style that doesn't rely on specialised musicological knowledge, making it perfect for students, scholars, musical fans, and musical creatives.

Die Musik der Zwanziger Jahre. Die Komponisten und Musikschriftsteller wollten eine gesellschaftliche Reintegration der Neuen Musik. Auch in der Musik sollte der egalitäre Gedanke der Revolution von 1918/19 umgesetzt werden. Groschs Werk über die Neue Sachlichkeit gibt erstmals eine Darstellung, die die Jahre 1926-1933 in der ganzen Breite des Musiklebens reflektiert.

Blick hinter die Kulissen. Kurt Weills intensive Korrespondenz mit der Universal Edition dokumentiert die Entstehung jedes der in Zusammenarbeit mit der Universal Edition entstandenen Werke, darunter auch Brechts Dreigroschenoper und Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny. Dabei präsentiert der Band ein wichtiges Stück Kultur-, Musik- und Theatergeschichte der Jahre 1924 bis 1933 aus erster Hand.
