Reviews

'The importance of this collection for music scholarship lies not only in the subject matter - rhythm has long been ignored by traditional music studies - but in the fact that fully half the volume is devoted to music other than the Western European classical canon … Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty; professionals.' M. Dineen, Choice
