Veiled Voices: Music and Censorship in Post-Revolutionary Iran Index Throughout history and across the globe, governments have taken a strong hand in censoring music. Whether in the interests of "safeguarding" the moral and religious values of their citizens or of promoting their own political goals, the character and severity of actions taken to suppress and control music that has been categorized as unacceptable, immoral, or as the Nazi's termed the music of Jewish and modernist composers, "degenerate," ranges from economic sanctions to forced immigration, imprisonment, and death. Yet in almost all cases composers found methods to counter this suppression and to let their voices be heard, even through the very music they were often forced to compose for the oppressing parties. In this first major collection of its kind, thirty contributors tackle centuries of music censorship across the globe from the medieval era to the modern day. Case studies address a number of instances both well- and lesser-known, including the tumultuous history of Wagner and Israel, rap music in the United States, silencing of women composers, and music in post-revolutionary Iran. Sections are organized by nature of censorship - religious, racial, and sexual - and type of government enforcement - democratic, totalitarian, and transitional. Focusing on individual composers and artists as well as eras within single countries, this Handbook champions the efficacy of music as an agent of collective power and resilience. - Patricia Hall is Professor of Music Theory at the University of Michigan. Her publications include A View of Berg's Lulu Through the Autograph Sources (University of California Press, 1997) and Berg's Wozzeck (OUP, 2011) "Throughout history and across the globe, governments have taken a strong hand in censoring music.

It includes studies from every continent and consists of six sections. Section I explores religion both as an object of censorship and as a censoring agent. Section II focuses on the censorship of three iconic operas during the Enlightenment in France and Austria: Don Giovanni, the Marriage of Figaro, and Fidelio. Section III deals with censorship in transitional governments, from nineteenth-century Italy to present-day Taiwan. Section IV examines censorship in totalitarian governments during the twentieth century. Section V discusses censorship in democracies such as the United Kingdom and the United States. Section VI looks at how censorship intersects with issues of race, gender, and sexual orientation This handbook is currently in development, with individual articles publishing online in advance of print publication. At this time, we cannot add information about unpublished articles in this handbook, however the table of contents will continue to grow as additional articles pass through the review process and are added to the site. Please note that the online publication date for this handbook is the date that the first article in the title was published online
