In \u003ci\u003eMusic of a Thousand Years,\u003c\/i\u003e Ann E. Lucas argues that this music is a modern phenomenon indelibly tied to changing notions of Iran’s national history. Rather than considering a single Persian music history, Lucas demonstrates cultural dissimilarity and discontinuity over time, bringing to light two different notions of music-making in relation to premodern and modern musical norms. An important corrective to the history of Persian music, \u003ci\u003eMusic of a Thousand Years\u003c\/i\u003e is the first work to align understandings of Middle Eastern music history with current understandings of the region’s political history.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ann E.
