| Description: |
Chapter 6 continues the focus on songs from elsewhere through case studies of bodies of repertoire that have proven especially popular in natural voice and community choir circles in the UK: gospel songs, songs from different parts of Africa (in particular, South Africa and the equatorial forest region of central Africa), songs from the Balkans, and Georgian songs. The adoption of these repertoires is contextualised with reference to the individuals who have served as their conduits. Comparisons are also made with the cases of gospel singing in Australia and Balkan music and dance in the United States. The chapter advances the argument that these more-detailed stories of how music travels and how music accomplishes its work invite us to reconsider questions of authenticity, appropriation and ownership while also attending to the dialogic and transformative potential of intercultural performance. |
