Summary "The ethnomusicologist Robert Lachmann (1892-1939) wrote and presented twelve radio programs entitled Oriental Music, which were transmitted by the Palestine Broadcasting Service between November 1936 and April 1937. The programs, which formed part of Lachmann's pioneering project to establish an "Oriental music archive" at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, included live performances of traditional music representing the different ethnic and religious communities of Palestine, performances that were simultaneously recorded onto metal disc. This edition presents Lachmann's scripts with musical transcriptions of performances, transcriptions and translations of the sung texts, and selected digitally restored musical recordings (provided on the accompanying digital audio files). The introduction and editorial commentaries explore Lachmann's radio lectures as they relate to his body of research on "Oriental music" and to wider concerns of scholarship, politics, and ideology." -- Provided by publisher.
