Wei 30 April 2018 Introduction It’s the age-old line of karaoke revellers and socialites alike: “I can’t even try to sing that!” Although such attempts may be a clever rouse to avoid public embarrassment, singing and music in general is as natural to humans as drawing breath. For as long as humankind has recorded history, life experiences, values, and accomplishments, music has been a messenger that has transcended the planes of language and art to become unsurpassed in its breadth of variety and uses; globally, despite thousands of miles geographically separating ancient cultures, music has been and is still used to describe events, ideas, and emotions in, as Nietzche might describe, a ‘Dionysian’ manner. Since the universal use of music to share knowledge and emotions is indisputable, such widespread use begs the larger question of why isolated cultures throughout history used this medium to tell their stories.

  • Alejo Carpentier's Unpublished Text
    ACADEMIC ARTICLES READING MUSIC BACKWARDS: ALEJO CARPENTIER’S UNPUBLISHED TEXT ‘LOS ORÍGENES DE LA MÚSICA Y LA MÚSICA PRIMITIVA’ Katia M. Chornik Open University Abstract This article examines Alejo Carpentier’s unpublished and undated text ‘Los orígenes de la música y la música primitiva’ (The Origins of Music and Primitive Music). This important but hitherto unknown document appears to be the most important antecedent for the musicological discussions narrated in Carpentier’s groundbreaking novel Los pasos perdidos (1953), an account of a musicologist-composer who travels into the South American jungle to collect musical instruments and discovers the origin of music among South American so-called primitives. In ‘Los orígenes de la música y la música primitiva’, Carpentier proposes that speech and music emerged simultaneously, seeking the origin of music in rhythm. He incorporates the paradigm of cultural evolution, making extensive use of the nineteenth- century analogy between prehistoric humanity and current-day ‘primitives’. Carpentier also adheres to some of the concepts and methods of comparative musicology – which made use of evolutionary models – stressing the potential of primeval music for Western researchers and composers. The present study frames ‘Los orígenes de la música’ in the context of evolutionary theory, drawing on a range of anthropological and musicological accounts. It traces how Carpentier assimilates, resists, distorts and challenges theories concerning primeval music by Charles Darwin, Herbert Spencer, Richard

  • A Review of the Study of Prehistoric Music and Musicology in Western Musicology
    2020 4th International Conference on Art Design, Language, and Humanities (ADLH 2020) A Review of the Study of Prehistoric Music and Musicology in Western Musicology Kun Yang Lhasa Normal College, Lhasa, 850000, China [email protected] Keywords: Western musicology, Music anthropology, Ethnomusicology Abstract: The study of prehistoric music in western musicology is the premise and foundation of the study of western musicology, and the study of western musicology is the inevitable and result of the study of prehistoric music in western musicology. This paper reviews the study of prehistoric music and western musicology in order to explore the relationship between them. 1. Introduction The study of music and the study of music as a systematic and theoretical discipline are two different concepts. The two start at different times. The study of music generally begins with the creation and recording of writing, sometimes even before the oral communication before the emergence of writing. Because the study of musicology prehistoric music is the premise and foundation to form the history of systematic musicology research, and systematic musicology research is the inevitable and result of musicology prehistoric music research. The study of western musicology began in 1738 with the Societaet der musikalischen Wissenschaft group founded by German musicologist l.mizler, which was formed by dividing the discipline system of musicology into three research fields: historical musicology, systematic musicology and ethnomusicology. 2.

  • 3. Theory of MUSIC! 4. Performance! 5. 20TH Century
    1. What is MUSIC? • Music is an art form consisting of sound and silence expressed through time. Elements of sound as used in music are pitch (including melody and harmony), rhythm (including tempo and meter), structure, and sonic qualities of timbre, articulation, dynamics, and texture. • The creation, performance, significance and even the definition of music changes according to culture and social context. Music ranges from strictly organized compositions and performances to improvisational. Music is divided into genres and sub-genres, although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often unclear. 2. History of MUSIC! • The history of music predates the written word and is tied to the development of each unique human culture. The development of music among humans occurred because of natural sounds such as birdsong and the sounds other animals use to communicate. Prehistoric music, once more commonly called primitive music, is the name given to all music produced in prehistory. 3. Theory of MUSIC! • Music theory encompasses the nature and mechanics of music. It also analyzes the elements of music – rhythm, harmony (harmonic function), melody, structure, and texture. People who study these properties are known as music theorists. 4. Performance! • Performance is the execution of music. While music cannot technically exist without performance, we generally think of performance as being the exhibition of a musical work before an audience. 5. 20TH century - MUSIC revolution! • The 20th century saw a revolution in music listening as the radio gained popularity worldwide and new media and technologies were developed to record, capture, reproduce and distribute music. The focus of art music in the 20th century was characterized by exploration.

  • Curt Sachs and His Contribution to the Museology of Music
    Florence Gétreau Curt Sachs and his Contribution to the Museology of Music For organologists, Curt Sachs remains one of the founders of their discipline, mainly due to his classification of musical instruments. The system that he established with Erich M. von Hornbostel in 1914 is “logical as well as universal”. “Hornbostel’s and Sachs’s scheme,” writes Margaret J. Kartomi, “has had the most use and the greatest effect of any classification of instruments” during the last century, even if “use of the scheme has mostly been limited to its upper one to three steps of division”. On the other hand, “its adoption in museums has been nowhere near as widespread as that of Dewey’s scheme in libraries”. Even if this universal system is strongly influenced by the evolutionary thinking in both the sciences and the humanities of the 18th cen- tury and in the 19th century, Kartomi reminds us that it served with great efficien- cy as a “conceptual framework for cross-cultural comparative purposes in their own writings and to remedy the still somewhat chaotic state of instrument collections in museums.”1 Among many attempts to further develop or revise this scheme, the col- lective work done over the years by the Comité International des Musées et Collec- tions d’Instruments de Musique (CIMCIM), a branch of the International Council of Museums (ICOM), had no real effective issue.2 On the contrary, the Hornbostel-Sachs scheme seems to retain its strong position: in 1993 it was discussed by Klaus-Peter Brenner in the context of evolutionary thinking and its role in organology,3 and in 1994, Peter Simon published a new analysis of the scheme and a table for it.4 Final- ly, in the field of music iconography, RIdIM’s Commission Mixte has recently unan- imously confirmed its acceptance as the most useful classification for instruments.5 1 Margaret J.

Ideas in ethnomusicology (comparative musicology, History of ideas anthropology of music, folk music research, folkloristics) are interlinked with other scholarly disciplines and academic fields. The Folkloristics history of the field is sometimes described as a shift from either a more Folk music research philologically oriented study of “national” folk music or “armchair anthropology” to a modern anthropological concept expressed in Comparative context-oriented, sociological, and performer-centered research, as musicology well as in urban ethnomusicology. However, a great deal of issues frequently associated with English-speaking mainstream ethnomusicology of the last five decades (the “ethnographic turn”) appeared in the intellectual folk music discourses as early as the late 18th and the 19th century. In a similar way, the history of comparative musicology as a scholarly concept can be traced back at least to the Age of Enlightenment. This article traces the emergence and early history of motivations, theoretical paradigms and research methods by discussing the following key issues and conceptual oppositions: Comparative study of musical cultures; Fieldwork experience; Aesthetic appreciation vs.

The find brings the total number of flutes discovered from this era to eight, four made from mammoth ivory and four made from bird bones.

  • The Human Faculty for Music: What’S Special About It?
    Bispham (2018) 0 The Human Faculty for Music: What’s special about it? John Christopher Bispham1,2 Wolfson College 1 Leverhulme Centre for Human Evolutionary Studies (LCHES) Division of Biological Anthropology Department of Archaeology and Anthropology 2 Centre for Music and Science (CMS) Faculty of Music University of Cambridge PhD Thesis Submitted 03/2018 Supervisor: Professor Ian Cross Abstract (short version) This thesis presents a model of a narrow faculty for music - qualities that are at once universally present and operational in music across cultures whilst also being specific to our species and to the domain of music. The comparative approach taken focuses on core psychological and physiological capabilities that root and enable appropriate engagement with music rather than on their observable physical correlates. Configurations of musical pulse; musical tone; and musical motivation are described as providing a sustained attentional structure for managing personal experience and interpersonal interaction and as offering a continually renewing phenomenological link between the immediate past, the perceptual present and future expectation. Constituent parts of the narrow faculty for music are considered most fundamentally as a potentiating, quasi- architectural framework in which our most central affective and socio-intentional drives are afforded extended time, stability, and a degree of abstraction, intensity, focus and meaning. The author contends, therefore, that music's defining characteristics, specific functionalities and/or situated efficacies are not demarcated in broadly termed “musical” qualities such as melodic contour or rhythm or in those surprisingly elusive “objective facts” of musical structure. Rather they are solely the attentional/motivational frameworks which root our faculty to make and make sense of music.
