The author approaches both the local and the colonial historical sources with a keen eye and sharp ear in this consistently engaging, well-researched volume."" --Martin Stokes, King's College, London ""This book situates the interplay of power, acculturation, and sovereignty of the Malay nobat from well-known Malay historical literatures, royal histories, and chronicles in the Malay world with fecundity and prolificacy. Raja Iskandar Bin Raja Halid has succinctly probed the subject of the Malay nobat by evoking the ecstatic and aesthetic contents of the Malay royal regalia, connecting Islamic influences and ceremonial ensembles from the Middle East and South Asia with the nobat of Aceh and the Malay Sultanates in the Malay peninsula. This publication is a major contribution to studies in Malay-Islamic-Royal music in Southeast Asia."" --Mohd Anis Md Nor, Nusantara Performing Arts Research Center ""This book takes the reader to a fascinating musical soundscape in the royal courts of Malaysia that is unimaginable to most music lovers today. Raja Iskandar Bin Raja Halid skillfully describes the history and significance of nobat and explains why and how it still has symbolic meaning today."" --Margaret Kartomi, author of Performing the Arts of Indonesia: Malay Identity and Politics in the Music, Dance and Theatre of the Riau Islands" Author InformationRaja Iskandar Bin Raja Halid is senior lecturer in the Department of Heritage at Universiti Malaysia Kelantan, Malaysia, and author of The Royal Nobat of Perak.
