Suspended Music. Chime-Bells in the Culture of Bronze Age China.
University of California Press In-8, hardcover, dust jacket, XXVI-481 pp, black-and-white illustrations, bibliogr., index. 1993
The Chinese made the world's first bronze chime-bells, which they used to perform ritual music, particularly during the Shang and Zhou dynasties (ca. 1700-221 B.C.). Lothar von Falkenhausen's rich and detailed study reconstructs how the music of these bells—the only Bronze Age instruments that can still be played—may have sounded and how it was conceptualized in theoretical terms. His analysis and discussion of the ritual, political, and technical aspects of this music provide a unique window into ancient Chinese culture. Very good condition. - Frais de port : -France 8,4 € -U.E. 12 € -Monde (z B : 19 €) (z C : 40 €)
