This volume is subdivided into four principal parts.
The first part, 'Performers and Performing' contains entries
on types of performing groups and individuals as well as on
a wide variety of performance techniques. The second part,
'Musical Production and Transmission' contains entries on
different kinds of personnel and functions as well as on interpretive
and technological processes and technologies. The third part,
'Musical Instruments' contains the volume's entries on musical
instruments, not only those that have played a major role
in the history of popular music but also those that, at first
blush, might seem to have had a less intimate relation with

of music and musical practice such as arrangement, lyrics
and stage acts.

From Reviews...
'The Continuum Encyclopedia of Popular Music of the World
is a Herculean twelve-volume undertaking which, when completed,
will comprise by far the most comprehensive and reliable reference
work on popular music. Volume II devoted to 'Performance and
Production,' deals with the forces needed to move from idea
to sound. Edited by five distinguished scholars under the
leadership of John Shepherd, the author list of the volume
includes many well-known musicologists, ethnomusicologists,
anthropologists and folklorists from many nations - a virtual
Who's Who of the scholars who have in the last decades devoted
themselves to the previously neglected area of popular music
studies, and in the course of their work made fundamental
changes in the world of music research. This is an exceptionally
valuable, interesting, comprehensive, and a uniquely organized
work.'
Bruno Nettl, Professor Emeritus of Music and Anthropology,
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
'I did not think the second volume could possibly be as
good as the first. I was wrong. So browse, read it through,
or just use it as a reference - you will find there is always
more to learn. It is a wonderful accomplishment. Anyone who
cares about popular music should have this book.'
Lawerence Grossberg, Morris Davis Professor of Communication
Studies and Cultural Studies, University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill
'Volume II confirms that the Continuum Encyclopedia for
Popular Music of the World is going to be one of the great
reference books. This is the volume in which to look up the
meaning of all those technical terms and the principles of
all those musical instruments you've never really been sure
you understood. And then you'll find the encyclopedia's real
value: it's a celebration of human beings' amazing musical
ingenuity.'
Professor Simon Frith, Department of Film and Media, University
of Stirling
