Biography
Timothy Rice is Professor in the UCLA Department of Ethnomusicology and holds a Ph.D. from the University of Washington. He specializes in the traditional music of Bulgaria and Macedonia. His books include Cross-cultural Perspectives on Music (1982), May It Fill Your Soul: Experiencing Bulgarian Music (1994), The Garland Encyclopedia of World Music, Vol. 8: Europe (2000), and Music in Bulgaria (2004). He edited the journal Ethnomusicology from 1981 to 1984 and served as president of the Society for Ethnomusicology from 2003 to 2005.
... the book would be especially helpful to those teaching or taking graduate-level ethnomusicology courses, as it provides a broad view of ethnomusicological research. Notes 'This book will be a good help for anthropologists interested in ethnomusicology and for social scientists whose areas of interest are connected to music. Moreover, each chapter includes a good number of references to the musical recordings of the mentioned artists, as if inviting readers to listen and sonically experience the music that they read about.'
