The Military Band
La Musique Militaire (1917) is one of the first comprehensive histories of military music in Europe, written by Marie Bobillier under the pseudonym Michel Brenet. At a time when scholarly music writing was dominated by men, Bobillier-an accomplished historian and musicologist-brought intellectual rigour and a unique perspective to this neglected topic.The book traces the development of military bands from ancient times through the 19th century, with a particular focus on France. It explores how military music evolved in tandem with changes in warfare, politics, and instrument-making. From the fifes and drums of the Renaissance to the wind orchestras of the Napoleonic era and beyond, Bobillier examines the aesthetic, ceremonial, and practical functions of music in the armed forces. She discusses composers, bandmasters, instrument makers (notably Adolphe Sax), and the military institutions that shaped this repertoire.What sets this book apart is its blend of technical knowledge, cultural insight, and archival research. Bobillier presents military music not merely as an accompaniment to battle, but as a living art form that reflects national identity, civic pride, and artistic ambition. The work also preserves a vivid memory of France's military bands before their modern standardisation, making it a crucial source for historians, conductors, and instrument scholars alike.This English translation brings Bobillier's ground-breaking study to a wider audience for the first time. With annotations to clarify historical references and context, the edition restores her voice to the history of military music-a field she helped to define but in which she was long overlooked.

The Power of Pastiche
In eighteenth-century England, "variety" became a prized aesthetic in musical culture. Not only was variety--of counterpoint, harmony, melody, and orchestration--expected for good composition, but it also manifested in cultural mediums such as songbook anthologies, which compiled miscellaneous songs and styles in single volumes; pasticcio operas, which were cobbled together from excerpts from other operas; and public concerts, which offered a hodgepodge assortment of different types and styles of performance. I call this trend of producing music through the collection, assemblage, and juxtaposition of various smaller pieces as musical miscellany; like a jigsaw puzzle (also invented in the eighteenth century), the urge to construct a whole out of smaller, different parts reflected a growing desire to appeal to a quickly diversifying England. This book explores the phenomenon of musical miscellany in early eighteenth-century England both in performance culture and as an aesthetic. Chapters offer analyses of concert programming, early music criticism, the compilation of pasticcio operas and songbook miscellanies, and even the ways in which composers and performers shaped their freelancing careers. Musical miscellany, in its many forms, juxtaposed foreign and homegrown musical practices and styles in order to stimulate discourse surrounding English musical culture during a time of cosmopolitan transformation as the eighteenth century unfolded.
The Beatles and Black Music
The Beatles and Black Music discusses the influence that Black music and culture has had over the Beatles throughout their collective and solo careers.

The Beatles and Black Music discusses the influence that Black music and culture has had over the Beatles throughout their collective and solo careers. Richard Mills adopts a musicological and historiographic account to demonstrate the extent to which Liverpool's colonial history influenced the Beatles' music. Beginning with the grand narrative of British colonial history pre-Beatles, it covers the influence of Black music and culture on the Beatles' teenage years in the 1950s, their association with Lord Woodbine, their love of American Rhythm and Blues in the mid-1960s, and extends to a discussion of post-colonial British identity and the lasting effect Black music has had on the Beatles' legacy and continues to have on the solo careers of Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney.

This Ain't Rock 'n' Roll
OVER THE LAST SEVEN DECADES, some of rock 'n' roll's most celebrated figureheads have flirted with the imagery and theater of the Third Reich. From Keith Moon and Vivian Stanshall kitting themselves out in Nazi uniforms to Siouxsie Sioux and Sid Vicious brandishing swastikas in the pomp of punk, generations of performers have associated themselves in troubling ways with the aesthetics, mass hysteria, and even ideology of Nazism. Whether shock factor, stupidity, or crass attempts at subversion, rock 'n' roll has indulged these associations in a way not accepted in any other art form. But how accountable should fans, the media, and the music industry be for what has often seemed a sleazy fascination with the eroticized perversions of a fascist regime?In This Ain't Rock 'n' Roll, award-winning music historian Daniel Rachel navigates these turbulent waters with extraordinary delicacy and care, asking us to look anew at the artists who have defined us, inspired us, and given us joy--and consider why so many have been drawn to the imagery of a movement responsible for some of the twentieth century's worst atrocities. Rachel asks essential questions of actions often overlooked or underplayed, while neither casting sweeping judgment nor offering easy answers. In doing so, he asks us to reassess the history of rock 'n' roll, and he sheds new light on the grim echoes of the Third Reich in popular culture and the legacy of twentieth (and twenty-first) century history as it defines us today.nd sheds new light on the grim echoes of the Third Reich in popular culture--and the legacy of twentieth (and twenty-first)-century history as it defines us today.
