Music as Care: Artistry in the Hospital Environment CMS Emerging Fields in Music

This book provides an overview of professional musicians working within the healthcare system and explores programs that bring music into the environment of the hospital. Far from being onstage musicians in the hospital provide musical engagement for patients and healthcare providers focused on life-and-death issues. Music in healthcare offers a new and growing area for musical careers distinct from the field of music therapy in which music is engaged to advance defined clinical goals. Rather this volume considers what happens when musicians interact with the clinical environment as artists and how musical careers and artistic practices can develop through work in a hospital setting. It outlines the specialized skills and training required to navigate safely and effectively within the healthcare context. The contributors draw on their experiences with collaborations between the performing arts and medicine at Boston University/Boston Medical Center University of Florida/UF Health Shands Hospital and the Peabody Institute/Johns Hopkins Medicine. These experiences as well as the experiences of artists spotlighted throughout the volume offer stories of thriving artistic practices and collaborations that outline a new field for tomorrow's musical artists. | Music as Care: Artistry in the Hospital Environment CMS Emerging Fields in Music

Music Studies and Its Moment of Truth: Leading Change through America's Black Music Roots CMS Emerging Fields in Music

Music Studies and Its Moment of Truth: Leading Change through America’s Black Music Roots presents a new framework for racial justice discourse in the context of music studies and education. Centering on Black American Music the book issues challenges to both the conventional music studies paradigm and decades-old reform efforts. While Black American Music ranks high among America’s contributions to world culture and offers musicians powerful tools for musical practice and understanding this musical legacy remains remarkably marginalized even in activist conversations. The author argues that this reflects lingering and unexamined racist patterns that persist even among the most fervent voices for anti-racist interventions and addresses the need for a higher-order activist framework within music studies. Delving further into the transformative changes needed to pursue racial justice the short pieces collected in this book discuss topics including a shift from multicultural ideology to a transcultural model of musical pluralism analysis of the multi-tiered nature of musical racism the whitewashing of music studies activism K-12 music teacher education as the locus for paradigmatic change and the potential for a transformed model of music studies to catalyze an overarching revolution in creativity and consciousness in both education and society at large. Critiquing the failures of progressive reform efforts and conventional reaction this book argues that major changes are needed to the discourse on racism in music studies and envisions new paradigms for the future. | Music Studies and Its Moment of Truth: Leading Change through America's Black Music Roots CMS Emerging Fields in Music

In the religious landscape of early medieval (c. AD 600-1200) Bihar and Bengal poly-religiosity was generally the norm than an exception which entailed the evolution of complex patterns of inter-religious equations. Buddhism Brahmanism and Jainism not only coexisted but also competed for social patronage forcing them to enter into complex interactions with social institutions and processes. Through an analysis of the published archaeological data this work explores some aspects of the social history of Buddhist Brahmanical and Jaina temples and shrines and Buddhist stūpas and monasteries in early medieval Bihar and Bengal.

Classical Islam A History 600 A

In a book written with the poignancy and beauty appropriate to its subject matter the author opens by reminding us that the essence of a society is in a sense identical with its history. Classical Islam also serves as a reminder that in the case of Islam despite its triumphs on the fields of battle telling its history is the only way open to us to render that essence accessible and show it from all sides. The work offers a grand narrative of a faith that offers an interpretation of the world a way of life and a style of thinking that goes far beyond institutional or political supports. The relevance of this historical perspective is beyond dispute. The period from 610 A. D. when Muhammad received his call until the conquest of Baghdad by the Mongols in 1258 is known as the classical period of Islam. This was the period of the great expansion of Islam both as a political structure and as a religious and intellectual community. It established the base for the development of the high Islamic civilization of North Africa the Near East Persia and India as well as further expansion of the Islamic religious and intellectual community throughout the world. This book presents an authoritative history of the period written by one of the world's leading experts on the subject. Classical Islam examines the relationships both cultural and political between the Islamic world and the Mediterranean countries and India and elaborates on the economic social and intellectual factors and forces that shaped the Muslim world and molded its interactions with infidels. The work is written in a clear and direct narrative form emphasizing simultaneously the major intellectual trends and the political events and tendencies of the formative period in Islamic history that still resonates today. | Classical Islam A History 600 A
