and the student of any one of the areas under discussion would do well to consult the piece in question, but very few of the authors attempt to connect their particular subject to broader themes or to make comparisons across national contexts – in short, no one in this book is speaking to anyone else. Some authors argue convincingly against the restrictions of generic categories; others structure their chapters entirely by discrete generic categories. One topic is covered both by a very senior scholar, who produces an accomplished and thought-provoking piece, and by a postgraduate student working well beyond their usual area of expertise and seemingly unsupported, resulting in some unfortunate and highly regrettable pages containing a number of basic errors. The overall result is an anthology, but not a conversation. That said, what we learn is often fascinating. Flávia Camargo Toni’s discussion of the relationship between Sigismund Neukomm and the illiterate, mixed-race composer Joaquim Manoel Gago da Câmera is richly detailed, and would benefit further from a wider contextualisation within the vogue for publishing ‘national melodies’ in the non-Lusophone world. David Robb’s introduction to the political and rebel songs of revolutionary Germany is a masterpiece of concise description, and a worthy trailer for the book on that subject he recently co-authored with Eckhard John (2020). Jan Dewilde’s analysis of song’s role in the development of Flemish linguistic nationalism is never less than absorbing. Scott makes particular reference to the pandemic at the end of his introduction (p. xxv). Perhaps the original intention was to come together, share expertise and generate discussion that would enrich and open out these chapters. It is an unhappy reflection on recent history that the 19th-century musicians and works documented in these pages managed to circulate much more freely and fruitfully than the book’s contributors. Taken as a starting point rather than a conclusion, this volume begins to look more promising: this is a topic rich in scholars and sources, and I look forward to the conversation continuing in years to come.

Abstract Drawing primarily from unpublished archival data, this article reconstructs the Musicians’ Union long embargo on library recording in Britain (1965–1978), retracing the immediate as well as long-lasting implications of the ban for the shaping of library music practices and discourses. The article demonstrates how crucial relations with the Union were in shaping the nascent library music industry as well as the working lives of the many individuals and groups involved in it, including London-based session musicians and music publishers. More theoretically, the article argues for a horizontal, ecological approach to library music culture, acknowledging its many intermediaries and prompting us to consider (musical) history in its unfinishedness, heterogeneity and ambiguity. The methodological challenges of researching ephemeral or ‘secondary’ music are also highlighted.

Abstract Shaping events at the microlevel of rhythm is an important aspect of many groove-based musics. In the present study, we explore the interconnectedness of musical parameters such as timing, attack shape, timbre and relative intensity in creating groove through investigating musicians and producers’ discourse in five genres (jazz, samba, electronic dance music, hip-hop and traditional Scandinavian fiddle music). Through semi-structured interviews, we found both genre-specific accounts of how such musical features interact at the microlevel of rhythm and a cross-generic focus on inducing movement by shaping sound and generating rhythmic friction. The study empirically substantiates the multiparameter nature of musical performance and experience, and that particular genre-typical configurations of temporal and sonic features are needed to create the experience of groove. It thereby adds to the scholarly discourse on groove, which has often taken a more general and time-oriented view of rhythm.
