Album sales are dwindling, the major labels are in crisis, retailers are closing their doors. At the same time the internet is booming: digitalization has created un- precedented new channels of distribution for music. Perhaps most sur- prisingly, live music events are flourishing as never before. For pop music in particular, the crisis is also an opportunity. The de- cline of global music corporations has made room for innovative inde- pendents. Online communities like MySpace and YouTube offer new strat- egies for self-promotion and for reaching potential fans around the world. The Swiss pop and jazz scene has also benefited from these developments, growing and multiplying in all directions. Even folk music – which has not enjoyed a lot of cultural support – is experiencing a renaissance and making effective use of the new technologies. The hootenanny has now gone online. Such wide-ranging transitions also pose new challenges for cultural policy. The transformation of the music industry and the resulting shifts in cultural support are the subject of this issue of Passages – while the magazine has undergone its own transformation. In its Dossier section Passages continues to focus on noteworthy topics in cultural policy and to profile art and culture from Switzerland. In addition, the magazine now includes some new features: coverage of Pro Helvetia’s projects, extensive cultural reports, portraits of our part- ners, sharp commentary by outside observers, and visits to Pro Helvetia’s liaison offices around the world. This issue also marks a change in the Passages editorial office. Our longtime senior editor Andreas Langenbacher is moving on to a new post in Pro Helvetia’s Literature and Society department. With his fine intui- tion for new and interesting topics, he was responsible for the rich sub- stance of Passages. We thank him for his achievements, and welcome sea- soned editor Janine Messerli to the masthead. From now on she will supply the multi-faceted look at the world that makes Passages so unique.

  • Balancing Japanese Musical Elements and Western Influence Within an Historical and Cultural Context
    FENCE, FLAVOR, AND PHANTASM: BALANCING JAPANESE MUSICAL ELEMENTS AND WESTERN INFLUENCE WITHIN AN HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL CONTEXT Kelly Desjardins, B.M., M.A. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2018 APPROVED: Eugene Migliaro Corporon, Major Professor Darhyl Ramsey, Committee Member Dennis Fisher, Committee Member Nicholas Williams, Interim Chair of the Division of Conducting and Ensembles Warren Henry, Interim Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John W. Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Desjardins, Kelly. Fence, Flavor, and Phantasm: Balancing Japanese Musical Elements and Western Influence within an Historical and Cultural Context. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2018, 99 pp., 14 tables, 44 musical examples, bibliography, 63 titles. Given the diversity found in today's Japanese culture and the size of the country's population, it is easy to see why the understanding of Japanese wind band repertoire must be multi-faceted. Alongside Western elements, many Japanese composers have intentionally sought to maintain their cultural identity through the addition of Japanese musical elements or concepts. These added elements provide a historical and cultural context from which to frame a composition or, in some cases, a composer's compositional output. The employment of these elements serve as a means to categorize the Japanese wind band repertoire. In his studies on cultural identities found in Japanese music, Gordon Matthews suggests there are three genres found within Japanese culture. He explains these as "senses of 'Japaneseness' among Japanese musicians." They include Fence, Flavor, and Phantasm.

    Title: Switzerland: The Largest Country in the World Author(s): Leonard Cecil Source: Cecil, L. (1990, Winter). Switzerland: The largest country in the world. The Quarterly, 1(4), pp. 54-65. (Reprinted with permission in Visions of Research in Music Education, 16(1), Summer, 2010). Retrieved from http://www-usr.rider.edu/~vrme/ It is with pleasure that we inaugurate the reprint of the entire seven volumes of The Quarterly Journal of Music Teaching and Learning. The journal began in 1990 as The Quarterly. In 1992, with volume 3, the name changed to The Quarterly Journal of Music Teaching and Learning and continued until 1997. The journal contained articles on issues that were timely when they appeared and are now important for their historical relevance. For many authors, it was their first major publication. Visions of Research in Music Education will publish facsimiles of each issue as it originally appeared. Each article will be a separate pdf file. Jason D. Vodicka has accepted my invitation to serve as guest editor for the reprint project and will compose a new editorial to introduce each volume. Chad Keilman is the production manager. I express deepest thanks to Richard Colwell for granting VRME permission to re-publish The Quarterly in online format. He has graciously prepared an introduction to the reprint series.

  • Music and Artistic Citizenship: in Search of a Swiss Identity
    253 Music and Artistic Citizenship: In Search of a Swiss Identity CARLO PICCARDI (Lugano) Although, for obvious reasons, one cannot speak of a “Swiss music” in terms of a unified, homogeneous culture or style, this does not mean there are no observable constants within the variety of its manifestations and its development over time. More than individual elaborations, historical con- ditions have had the greatest influence in determining the aesthetic prin- ciples which have imposed themselves; general behaviour and interests have outweighed particular interests, and the way the country has de- fined itself as a distinct community in relation to its neighbouring nations. This essay draws upon well-known studies to examine music, art and cul- ture from historical, social, civil and political perspectives in an attempt to critically re-examine the question. It will be shown how a certain Swiss musical identity is constituted with regard to its functional role in the country’s interests, as an expression of a collective dimension, as a regu- lating organisation of its integration within society, and as a permanent and recognised dialogue with the institutions. The fact that certain char- acteristics recur both in situations of conservative withdrawal and in those of opening to new influences, leads us to speak of a shared value in the diversity of attitudes. About the fact that Switzerland has been the location of choice for travellers and refugees from all over the continent, someone has said that this country has more often welcomed the people who have found com- fort and refuge here than it has welcomed the messages they have brought with them.
