In \u003ci\u003eMusic of a Thousand Years,\u003c\/i\u003e 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, \u003ci\u003eMusic of a Thousand Years\u003c\/i\u003e is the first work to align understandings of Middle Eastern music history with current understandings of the region’s political history.","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54143280382296,"sku":null,"price":38.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780520300804.jpg?v=1770097534","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/music-of-a-thousand-years-a-new-history-of-persian-musical-traditions","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
