This volume showcases contemporary research about interculturalism and music through exposing critical perspectives about real-world projects spanning different corners of the globe, including China, Germany, Iran, Japan, Latin America, the Middle East and North Africa regions, North India, Mexico, Taiwan, the UK and the USA. Its aim is twofold: first, to highlight current trends in thinking about interculturalism and music; and second, to illustrate encounters or practices involving music within or about an intercultural context. A broad narrative trajectory reflects perspectives in education, community and creative practice with numerous themes addressed, including culturally responsive teaching, language learning, transculturalism, post-migrant societies, identity formation, power dynamics, audience encounters as well as notions of ‘insider’ and ‘outsider’, ‘self’ and ‘other’ and the ‘in-between’. This volume serves scholars in a range of fields, especially music education, ethnomusicology, musicology, psychology and cultural studies as well as practitioners working in community and education settings. Students and researchers exploring intercultural practices will find essential case studies and insights applicable to their own work. As a whole, the book is securely bound together by its overall theme of music and interculturalism yet offers diversity of perspective and methodology.

A detailed study of the well-known, yet poorly understood, music theory of composer Paul Hindemith (1895-1963).The music theory of composer Paul Hindemith (1895-1963), originally entitled Unterweisung im Tonsatz, is well known, yet poorly understood. This book provides a critical engagement with Hindemith's Unterweisung, particularly concerning its relationship to existing acoustic music theories. By examining different Unterweisung-versions, it charts the evolution of Hindemith's use of language and mode of communication, including his reference to polytonality, atonality, Fuxian species counterpoint, and avoidance of existing music for his examples. It also elaborates the source material on which the theory is based, using a reconstruction of Hindemith's personal library.Central to the book is the relationship of Hindemith's Unterweisung to his compositional practice. Hindemith's fascination with the challenges of music theory falls into a middle period in his oeuvre, enabling profitable comparisons with his compositional practice both before and after his theory-making. The book also comprises a detailed discussion of Hindemith's theoretical and compositional legacy. Beginning with an overview of existing polemics, it draws together unpublished materials from the Yale Hindemith Institute with reminiscences from former students to construct an Unterweisung reception history. The book shows that, while many areas of Hindemith's theory have been overtaken by recent interests in music theory that relate to cognition and geometry, his influence has been deeply felt.SIMON DESBRUSLAIS is Lecturer in Music and Director of Performance at the University of Hull and an internationally acclaimed trumpet soloist.
