Reviews
"Dr. Pegg has made full use of what is truly a unique opportunity, by recording performances, interviewing 'practitioners' including even shamanesses (who were thought to have vanished from socialist society) and presenting the recovery oftradition against her analysis of the previous regime's attempts to repudiateits existence." - Charles Bawden, Emeritus Professor of Mongolian, University of London"This is the most comprehensive account of Mongolian music available. Carole Pegg hascrafted a detailed account of the peformance arts of Mongolia, focussing on the different ethnicgroups who inhabit the state proper and its bordering areas in China and Siberia.. It is anethnography in the old tradition, broad-ranging and all-encompassing. It is also based on anexhaustive bibliography of Mongolian, Russian, and European sources. . . . She has spent thelast fifteen years researching this book, a period which involved five fieldtrips. . . . We must besensitive when we listen to the Mongols, and to their ever-fascinating and multi-facetedperformance arts--like Pegg has done."--ASIAN AFFAIRS, June 2002

Synopsis
This book celebrates the power of music, dance, and oral narrative to create identities by imaginatively connecting performers and audiences with ethnic and political groupings, global and sacred landscapes, histories and heroes, spirits and gods.Three distinct cultural eras of Mongolian society are represented. Many Mongolsare now performing publicly the diverse traditions of Old Mongolia that they practised in private following the communist revolution of 1921; some are perpetuating the Soviet transformations of those traditions introduced prior to 1990; and yet others are dipping their curly-toed boots into new performance arts as they revel in musical encounters on the global stage. By highlighting the sheer variety ofrepertories, this book illustrates the rich diversity of Mongolia's peoples andperformance arts.An accompanying compact disc contains musical examples linked to the text.Carole Pegg is ethnomusicology editor for the New Grove Dictionary of Musicand Musicians and associate lecturer in social anthropology at the University of Cambridge, England. As an ethno-musicologist and musician she has been working with nomadic groups in remote areas of Mongolia and Inner Mongolia, China, and with urban Mongols in both countries since 1987. She has also toured with Mongol musicians in England and Hong Kong., This book celebrates the power of music, dance, and oral narrative to create identities by imaginatively connecting performers and audiences with ethnic and political groupings, global and sacred landscapes, histories and heroes, spirits and gods.
