Role of Music in European Integration

The volume focuses on music during the process of European integration since the Second World War. Often music in Europe is defined by its relation to the concept of Occidentalism (Musik im Abendland; western music). The emphasis here turns rather to recent manifestations of its evolvement in ensembles, music organisations, events and ideas, and deals with questions of unity and diversity from Bergen to Tel Aviv, from Lisbon to Baku.
