Inna Naroditskaya - Academia.edu (original) (raw)
I began my musical career as a performing pianist and musicologist in the former Soviet Union, and immigrating to the US, completed my PhD in ethnomusicology at the University of Michigan. As an ethnomusicologist, historian, and performer, with professional and personal experiences worldwide, I am curious about and invested in a variety of scholarly inquiries.Viewing music as an active force in politics, I wrote my first book, Song from the Land of Fire: Azerbaijani Mugham in the Soviet and Post-Soviet Periods (2006) on Azerbaijani music. Music and gender is a major theme in my research. When I wrote on Russian music and theater, the topic of women, music, and politics surged powerfully from the material itself. This research culminated in my second book, Bewitching Russian Opera: The Empress from State to Stage (2012). This volume on Catherine II’s conspicuously “forgotten” operas has been reviewed as a work of “revisionism” that gives “lovers of Russian opera really spicy food for thought” (Taruskin) and as an “exciting and path-breaking study that should change the way we look at Russian opera, gender and the course of modern Russian cultural history” (Levitt). “In the boldness of her writing, Inna Naroditskaya in some ways resembles Catherine the Great,” writes O’Malley.I have served as an author and co-editor of two volumes produced by the Music and Minority group (of ITCM)– Manifold Identities (2004) and Music and Minorities (2018).Attempting to connect different parts of my professional and personal life as a musician and an immigrant, I felt committed and fortunate to assemble an amazing team of contributors for my edited volume, Music of Diasporic Weddings in the US (2018). This book comprises chapters on Roma weddings in New York, klezmer in Baltimore, Arabic wedding music across American cities, Indian wedding musicians, and American Latina weddings. It also includes cases of authoethnography written by bride/ethnomusicologists and chapters by musicians playing at weddings.My works were published in at least five languages In addition to scholarship, I have written articles and OpEds for a wide readership in The Huffington Post, The Washington Post, and Pacific Standard.Mong many articles, the most recent ones focus on tango, "Is Argentine tango Russian, and how Jewish is Russian Tango" . . . https://www.google.com/search?q=Is Argentyine tango russian

This book contains notations of mugham performance--a fusion of traditional poetry and musical improvisation--and analysis of hybrid genres, such as mugham-operas and symphonic mugham by native composers. Intimately connected to the awakening of Azerbaijanian national consciousness while ruled by the Russian Empire and the USSR, mugham is inseparable from the contexts in which it is produced and heard. Inna Naroditskaya provides the historical and political contexts for mugham and profiles the musicians, musical genealogies, and musical institutions of Azerbaijan.
