This paper discusses the praxis of ‘music volunteers’ in ethnomusicology, taking the process of being engaged in the music life of Miao cleaning women working in Shanghai as an example, to reflect on the possibility of ‘engaged practice’. The ‘music volunteers’ activities help us to explore the ‘differences’ between various types of knowledge and follow in search of the ‘liquid knowledge’2 that really emerges in the cultural context and power hierarchy of the city. In this process, we try to build a dynamic cultural space together, breaking the binary boundaries between urban and rural areas as well as insiders and outsiders.

The authors use the mission statement of the ICTM Study Group on Global Music History to present issues they faced in writing a global music history intended for use in schools of music (conservatories) in the United States. They argue that all global music histories will of necessity be written from some position on the globe, not from “outer space”; explain how they constructed a chronology going back thousands of years from sound recordings all made in the twentieth century; and outline their pedagogical goal of introducing music students to the full range of human music making today.

At present, the idea of re-composing school theme songs into more fashionable icons is tenable in the eyes of local composers. In Thailand, although numerous school theme songs are presumably in need of refashioning, yet there are not many where this need has been addressed. A school theme song Pin-Hatai of Triam Udom Suksa School is one of those songs that was successfully re-composed by the author into a sophisticated choral symphony, called Symphony on a Pin-Hatai Theme. There are the compositional techniques such as the use of cyclic form, the intermingling of Thai and Western compositional idioms, and a systematic tension and release being integrated into re-composing Symphony on a Pin-Hatai Theme. I argue that the newly written symphony can rightfully be perceived as a corollary of a new assertion to change twentieth century compositional methods on the consistency of showing an attempt to preserve its traditional characters to please a large audience. Based on the author’s PhD dissertation, the purpose of this article is to conceptualise ways on how Thai school theme songs can be refashioned into upgraded versions, on which a Pin-Hatai theme song of Triam Udom Suksa School will be a particular focus.

Khmer folk music in Southern Vietnam is diverse in its forms and mainly serves religious rites and traditional ceremonies. However, with the trend of increasing integration and exchange, and under the strong and constant influence of the wave of Western civilization, the development and popularity of modern audiovisual media, new and attractive music shows on television and social sites, the folk music of the Khmer in the South is coping with a great deal number of difficulties and challenges. Although changing trends are inevitable, we need solutions to continue promoting the values of Khmer folk music in the South in new conditions and contexts without losing its identity, including training core human resources for this objective. The article focuses on two research objectives: the first is to understand the policies of the government of Vietnam and the results of practical training of human resources to preserve and promote the cultural values of Khmer folk music heritage in the South of Vietnam and the second is to propose solutions in developing and training human resources to preserve and promote the values of Khmer folk music and culture in the South of Vietnam.

The creation and performance of contemporary opera in the 21st century reflect the main ideas of contemporary humanistic trend of thought. Contemporary opera is increasingly deepening in international cooperation, cross- cultural artistic expression, global exploration of local social issues, and artists' social participation. Today is a new humanistic era for contemporary opera and other art forms. The artistic and humanistic languages of different nationalities and cultures communicate and dialogue on more diverse artistic platforms. Therefore, the creation of realistic opera which reflects the diversity of Chinese humanistic values and the real development of Chinese society is particularly important today. The creation and performance of contemporary opera in Hong Kong is also a representative of the development of Chinese opera with remarkable regional characteristics. Taking ‘Mila’’, an opera commissioned by the Asia Society Hong Kong Center, as an example, this article analyzes the realistic librettural themes, the music composition of contemporary scenes, and the dramatic presentation of life materials in the work, so as to discover Hong Kong's social sound landscape on the contemporary opera stage.

Business has played its part in shaping Azerbaijan’s musical culture. The influx of money and Europeans to Baku during the oil boom of the late 19th and early 20th centuries generated demand for Western musical instruments and paved the way for their diffusion in Azerbaijan. Therefore, when speaking of the rapid development of music education and professional music-making of the Western tradition in Azerbaijan, one should not lose sight of the fact that this would have been very difficult if there had not been sufficient saturation of the market with pianos, violins, etc. Materials from the collection of the State Museum of Musical Culture of Azerbaijan contain information on music shops in Baku, where gramophones, records, and sheet music were sold alongside musical instruments.
