Description

Explore the historical origins of musical identity in The Making of European Music in the Long Eighteenth Century. Published by Oxford University Press, this work by D. R. M. Irving investigates how the concepts of "European music" and "Western music" emerged and evolved in scholarly and pedagogical thought. Starting from the 1670s, the text traces these large-scale categories through various cultural lenses, including the accounts of Jesuit missionaries in China. This book examines the transition from myth and allegory to the formal labels used in modern music history. It is an essential resource for those studying the New Cultural History of Music and the development of Western European thought.
