Reviews

What these essays demonstrate again and again is how fascinating it is to trace what one song draws from another and how each person—artist or producer, musician or consumer—uses old threads to weave new meanings. Such interrelationships between pieces are a fundamental part of what makes a musical tradition a tradition."" - from the Foreword by J. Peter Burkholder, Indiana University, Bloomington
