Szczepanski (ethnomusicology, Ohio State U.) draws on her field research in northern China in 2005 and 2006 to analyze the music at a Buddhist monastery. She covers the music of Manjusris Mountain, music in ritual at Wutaishan, Wutaisans shengguan music, and Buddhist music in a material world. Among specific topics are a history of Wutaishan Buddhist music, donor-sponsored ritual, calendrical observances, the transmission of shengguan practice, and the politics and collection business of Buddhist music.
