Combining approaches from reception studies and historical musicology, this book demonstrates how the representation of music at exhibitions drew the press and public into debates about music's role in society.International exhibitions were among the most significant cultural phenomena of the late nineteenth century. But exhibitions were not just visual spaces. These vast events aimed to illustrate, through displays of physical objects, the full spectrum of the world's achievements, from industry and manufacturing, to art and design.
At these exhibitions, music was codified, ordered, and all-round 'exhibited' in manifold ways. Music was ever present, as a fundamental part of these events' sonic landscape, and integral to the visitor experience.This book explores music at international exhibitions held in Australia, India, and the United Kingdom during the 1880s.
