Retuning Culture Presents An Extraordinary Picture Of This Phenomenon. This Pioneering Set Of Studies Traces The Tumultuous And Momentous Shifts In The Music Cultures Of Central And Eastern Europe From The First Harbingers Of Change In The 1970S Through The Revolutionary Period Of 198990 To More Recent Developments.During The Period Of State Socialism, Both The Reinterpretation Of The Folk Music Heritage And The Domestication Of Western Forms Of Music Offered Ways To Resist And Redefine Imposed Identities. With The Removal Of State Control And Support, Music Was Free To Channel And To Shape Emerging Forms Of Cultural Identity.

Written By Longtime Specialists In The Region And Considering Both Religious And Secular Trends, These Essays Examine Music As A Means Of Expressing Diverse Aesthetics And Ideologies, Participating In The Formation Of National Identities, And Strengthening Ethnic Affiliation.Retuning Culture Provides A Rich Understanding Of Musics Role At A Particular Cultural And Historical Moment.
