Stephen Jones, SOAS, University of London, UK
SOAS Musicology Series
This book, with its accompanying DVD, gives an
impression of music-making in daily life in the poor
mountainous region of Shaanbei, northwest China.
It conveys some of the diverse musical activities there
around 2000, from the barrage of pop music blaring
from speakers in the bustling county-towns to the
life-cycle and calendrical ceremonies of poor mountain
villages. Based on the practice of grass-roots music-
making in daily life, not merely on official images, the
main theme is the painful maintenance of ritual and its
music under Maoism, its revival with the market reforms
of the 1980s, and its modification under the assaults
of TV, pop music, and migration since the 1990s.
The DVD is intended both to illuminate the text
and stand on its own.
