{"product_id":"joshua-uzoigwe-godwin-sadoh-9781419673801","title":"Joshua Uzoigwe: Memoirs of a Nigerian Composer-ethnomusicologist","description":"This book presents the life and music of Joshua Uzoigwe, a Nigerian composer-ethnomusicologist. The book examines the socio-cultural factors that most influenced Uzoigwe's creative thought, inspiration, and imagination. Uzoigwe's life and music explicate the imprint of two cultural worlds, Western and African--Igbo\/Yor...uba. His music is a vivid representation of a modern intercultural music. A discussion of the stylistic features in Uzoigwe's music reveals the relationship between traditional and contemporary musical processes in modern African art music through the examination of rhythmic, tonal and harmonic organization, thematic processes, form, instrumentation, titles of works, and the interrelations of music and dance. The influence of Uzoigwe's extensive research on ukom music is evident in his compositions, particularly the Talking Drums, Ritual Procession, and Oja.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Godwin Sadoh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1419673807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781419673801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Booksurge Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/25\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.33d","brand":"Godwin Sadoh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48436486668543,"sku":"9781419673801","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_808e9704-c087-461b-b478-2f84ab0ac6a9.jpg?v=1777156871","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/joshua-uzoigwe-godwin-sadoh-9781419673801","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
