Musical Exoticism: Images and Reflections
Locke, Ralph P. (Eastman School of Music, University of Rochester, New York)
A Japanese geisha, Carmen flinging a rose at Don José, 'West Side Story' - portrayals of exotic people and places have been ubiquitous in Western music from 1700 to today. Musical Exoticism surveys the vast and varied repertoire of Western musical works evoking exotic locales, exploring their persuasive, sometimes disturbing effects.
