Familiarity underpins our engagement with music. This book
highlights theoretical and empirical considerations about
familiarity from three perspectives: listening, musicology and
performance. Part I, 'Listening', addresses familiarity as it
relates to listeners' behaviour and responses to music,
specifically in regulating our choice and exposure to music on a
daily basis; how we get to know music through regular listening;
how comfortable we feel in a Western concert environment; and
music's efficacy as a pain-reliever. Part II, 'Musicology' exposes
the notion of familiarity from varied stances, including
appreciation of music in our own and other cultures through
ethnomusicology; exploration of the perception of sounds via music
analysis; philosophical reflection on the efficiency of
communication in musicology; evaluation of the impact of
researchers' musical experiences on their work; and the influence
of familiarity in music education. Part III, 'Performance', focuses
on the effects of familiarity in relation to different aspects of
Western art and popular performance, including learning and
memorizing music; examination of 'groove' in popular performance;
exploration of the role of familiarity in shaping socio-emotional
behaviour between members of an ensemble; and consideration about
the effects of the unique type of familiarity gained by musicians
through the act of performance itself.
