Oxford Handbook of Music Revival

Revival movements aim to revitalize traditions perceived as threatened or moribund by adapting them to new temporal spatial and social contexts. While many of these movements have been well-documented in Western Europe and North America those occurring and recurring elsewhere in the world have received little or no attention. Particularly under-analyzed are the aftermaths of revivals: the new infrastructures musical styles performance practices subcultural communities and value systems that grow out of these movements.
