ItemMusic and empire(Wiley, 2016)Abstract Music and empire have an entangled relationship: just as empires have influenced the development and practice of music throughout much of the world, music has performed vital functions in empires throughout history. Music is deeply embedded within the political, religious, and economic processes of empires, symbolizing power across large distances and shaping ideas, practices, and beliefs. Music is a potent vehicle for the spread of ideology: it has been used to exert political and social control, but also as a tool for resistance. Within empires incorporating multiple ethnic groups, the performance, study, and teaching of music has been used to highlight cultural differences, or to enforce assimilation and standardization. Networks of transport, trade, and communication within and between empires have facilitated and precipitated the movement and circulation of musicians, instruments, ideas, and practices; the cross‐cultural adoption, adaptation, and/or mixing of these elements is a typical consequence of empire.
