The classical music of the India-Pakistan-Bangladesh subcontinent is one of the ancient art forms still widely practised today. This book will be invaluable to the student and specialist alike. In his foreword, Ravi Shankar, recommends this book to all who wish to be introduced to India's music, her culture and her peoples.

During the years between the restoration of the Medici to Florence and the election of Cosimo I, the Medici family sponsored a series of splendid public festivals, reconstructed here by Anthony M. Cummings. Cummings has utilized unexpectedly rich sources of information about the musical life of the time in contemporary narrative accounts of these occasions--histories, diaries, and family memoirs. In this interdisciplinary work, he explains how the festivals combined music with art and literature to convey political meanings to Florentine observers. As analyzed by Cummings, the festivals document the political transformation of the city in the crucial era that witnessed the end of the Florentine republic and the beginnings of the Medici principate. This book will interest all students of the life and institutions of sixteenth-century Florence and of the Medici family. In addition, the author furnishes new evidence about the contexts for musical performances in early modern Europe. By describing such contexts, he ascertains much about how music was performed and how it sounded in this period of music history and shows that the modes of musical expression were more varied than is suggested by the relatively few surviving examples of actual pieces of music.

"Alias Bob Dylan" racconta i sogni, le speranze e poi le delusioni e i drammi di chi rimase abbagliato dal luogo comune del Nuovo Dylan. Una vera e propria Odissea dei nostri tempi. Utilizzando sempre fonti primarie, ovvero le voci dei protagonisti, cantautori che non ebbero e non avranno le fortune di Bob Dylan, ma che scoprirono, a spese loro, le contraddizioni e il cinismo dell'industria dello spettacolo. Un lavoro di ricerca accurato e dettagliato che viene però narrato senza pretese intellettuali, ma con il tono di chi ha scoperto delle storie, magari crude e non sempre a lieto fine, ma troppo belle per non essere raccontate.
