An illustration of Benito Mussolini on the cover of the official hymn of the National Fascist Party, "Giovinezza!" ("Youth!") from 'Music and Dictatorship in Europe and Latin America''In this book, edited by Roberto Illiano and Massimiliano Sala, the music is explored as a political phenomenon in fifteenth nations under totalitarian regimes: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Cuba, France, Greece, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Spain, and Hungary. Historical and aesthetical articles face both individual people (for instance, Chavez, Ligeti, Massarani or Villa-Lobos) as well whole generations of composers operating under dictatorship (for example, in the communist regimes of Poland and Serbia; in France under Vichy; in Franco’s Spain, Salazar’s Portugal, or in Revolutionary Cuba).'

An excerpt from Garcia's essay 'Music and the Brazilian Estado Novo: Getúlio Vargas, Heitor Villa-Lobos and a National Music Education System'All images are acknowledged with thanks and used with permission of Brepols Publishers. For further information on this title or others in the Speculum Musicae Series click here. For my £0.02 I think the Speculum Series covers many interesting and neglected areas of musicological research. For example, there are many books which explore Italian musics of Tuscany and Sicily but not so many which cover the centre of Italy. Ciliberti's 'Musica e societa in Umbria tra Medioevo e Rinascimento (Vol. 5 in the series) attempts to put Umbria on the musicological map. Also, this book furthers Illiano's earlier set of essays on 'Italian Music during the Fascist Period' (vol. 10 in the series) by expanding the areas studying fascism's influence into other parts of Europe and also Latin America demonstrating that an ocean can not divide the dissemination of ideas. I for one will be buying this for our library collection.
