First Published in 1984. This is the second volume in a series on
musicology and related areas edited by F. Joseph Smith. Deciphering
the specific social characteristics of music has long lagged behind
the analytical dissection of musical composition and biographical
musicology. The essays in this volume have been produced in an
attempt to redress the balance. The sociology of music as examined
here is an investigation into the ways social formations come
together in musical structures. These essays specifically address
the problem of our neutralized music consciousness, the separation
of music from the social context and the artificial insulation of
musical understanding from the realms of social meanings. One theme
in these essays concerns the struggle against ideological
distortions arising from the insulation of music from its
sociological context. The author argues that there is a stronger
connection between music and society than is generally assumed.
