Description
The study of South Asian music falls under the purview of ethnomusicology; whereas that of South Asian literature falls under South Asian studies. This book examines the history of Sinhala-language song and poetry in twentieth-century Sri Lanka.
"Modernizing Composition is a product of thorough research, fresh interpretation, and clear writing; it will be of great value to readers in postcolonial studies looking to broaden their regional outlook and readers in Sri Lanka studies seeking to expand their theoretical perspectives."
Garrett Field is Assistant Professor of Ethnomusicology in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and the School of Music at Ohio University.
