About The Book

Music is a universal language. Musical and cultural sustainability are inseparable from environmental ecosystem sustainability. That's been one of this blog's themes from the outset. Sustainability and innovation are essential elements in the live-music business today. Every culture in the world has its own form of music that is enjoyed by all ages on every continent. Although each culture is different, music unifies all races and has been used throughout history for different occasions and for enjoyment purposes. Ethnomusicology is the study of music from the cultural and social aspects of the people who make it. It encompasses distinct theoretical and methodical approaches that emphasize cultural, social, material, cognitive, biological, and other dimensions or contexts of musical behavior, instead of only its isolated sound component. Folklorists, who began preserving and studying folklore music in Europe and the US in the 19th century, are considered the precursors of the field prior to the Second World War. Choreomusicologists hold that studying the variable relationships between sound and movement in diverse performance arts can provide insight into perceptual sensibilities, cultural processes, and interpersonal dynamics. This informative book will be of interest to students, musicologists and social scientists in general.

Introduction

Music is part of our very beings, aiding in expressing emotions, helping us heal, creating a sense of unity and connecting community. Music helps to shape identity and culture, and is extremely important for providing our lives with inspiration. It can help us find our voice to fight against injustice. Music is a powerful vehicle for expression and for the arousal of emotions. Music is used to express ideas and emotions related to all the layers that make up life, and it can have great poignancy for people who hear it or play it.

Music is a universal language. Musical and cultural sustainability are inseparable from environmental ecosystem sustainability. That's been one of this blog's themes from the outset. Sustainability and innovation are essential elements in the live-music business today. Every culture in the world has its own form of music that is enjoyed by all ages on every continent. Although each culture is different, music unifies all races and has been used throughout history for different occasions and for enjoyment purposes. The role of music can range from one time structured workshops to ongoing community music making opportunities (choral and instrumental groups, community singing, and related music festivals). Given the right circumstances, music can be very efficient in activating or enhancing the degree of shared content of consciousness. A high degree of shared content of consciousness is potentially very useful as it creates a basis for coherent thinking, ease of communication, common understanding, trust, and a new common identity. All this may unfold, nevertheless, only if the group is in accordance at an emotional level. This highlights one of music's most significant functions in the work of conflict resolution and conflict transformation: helping people balance their thoughts and become aware of their emotions. Ethnomusicology is the study of music from the cultural and social aspects of the people who make it. It encompasses distinct theoretical and methodical approaches that emphasize cultural, social, material, cognitive, biological, and other dimensions or contexts of musical behavior, instead of only its isolated sound component. Folklorists, who began preserving and studying folklore music in Europe and the US in the 19th century, are considered the precursors of the field prior to the Second World War. Early in the history of the field of ethnomusicology, there was debate as to whether ethnomusicological work could be done on the music. of western society, or whether its focus was exclusively toward non- western music. Choreomusicologists hold that studying the variable relationships between sound and movement in diverse performance arts can provide insight into perceptual sensibilities, cultural processes, and interpersonal dynamics. interest group. For there are those world over, who are threatened by the very nature of a free exchange of ideas. There are those who will stop at nothing to stifle them.

Music has been censored by governments, religious groups, mainstream media, families, and educational systems. Governmental censorship of music violates international conventions on human rights such as Article 19: Freedom of Expression, Article 22: Freedom of Association and Article 27: the Right to Participate in Cultural Life. This informative book will be of interest to students, musicologists and social scientists in general.
