In Music of a Thousand Years, Ann E. Lucas argues that this music is a modern phenomenon indelibly tied to changing notions of Iran's national history. Rather than considering a single Persian music history, Lucas demonstrates cultural dissimilarity and discontinuity over time, bringing to light two different notions of music-making in relation to premodern and modern musical norms. An important corrective to the history of Persian music, Music of a Thousand Years is the first work to align understandings of Middle Eastern music history with current understandings of the region's political history. <br/><br/><br/>Mode of access: Internet via World Wide Web. <br/><br/><br/>This eBook is made available Open Access under a CC BY-NC 4.0 license:  <br/><br/><br/>In English. <br/><br/><label>ISBN: </label>9780520972032 <br/><br/><label>LCCN: </label>2018054350 <br/><br/><label>Subjects--Topical Terms: </label><br/>Dastgāh.<br/>Dastgāh.<br/>Maqām.<br/>Maqām.<br/>Music--History and criticism.--Iran<br/>HISTORY / Middle East / Iran.<br/><br/><label>Subjects--Index Terms: </label>ancient persian culture. changing notions. cultural dissimilarity. discontinuity. entertainment. ethnomusicology. historical analysis. iran history. iran. middle eastern music. modern musical norms. modern phenomenon. music making. music. national history. persian art music. persian music history. political history. premodern. <br/><br/><label>LC Class.
