This book presents sixteen chapters in Volume 1. This Volume I of
the Proceedings of the Worldwide Music Conference 2021 offers a
smorgasbord of scientific approaches to music. The congress is one
of a kind; it is dedicated not to a specific field but to the
interdisciplinary developments and the interaction with the
representatives from actual scientific disciplines. The languages
of mathematics, computer science, semiotics, palaeography, and
medicine are in the mix; geography of the studies is also
impressive-Greece, Mexico, China, Russia, India, Poland, and USA,
to name just a few. The purpose of such juxtaposition is to see how
the terminology, categorical apparatus, and interpretations of
music vary from science to science and how this can enrich the
terminology of music theory. They cover a wide range of topics that
the editors divided into four subfields: music in interdisciplinary
contexts, music and current technology, musical instruments and
voice, and music pedagogy and medicine. The opening section of the
Proceedings is thus dedicated to the idea of interdisciplinarity,
relationship of creator of theory of harmony Rameau to sciences of
his time, the idea of number in music, co-creation, and the
category of musical network. Three more chapters here deal with
Russian palaeography, Indian musical genre, and the idea of musical
semiotics. It is a kind of opening statement from music theorists.
Part two, music and current technology, united three chapters, on
"zero gravity" concept in modern music, discussion of scales as
mathematical networks, and the innovation in digital music making,
transforming it from stationary to mobile applications. The third
part, musical instruments and voice, is of special interest because
it is in the study of the instruments, the design, acoustic
characteristics, and tuning, and sciences have cooperated with
music theory for centuries. In addition to instruments, one chapter
here is dedicated to voice. The last part, musical pedagogy and
medicine, takes the reader even further into the interdisciplinary
domain. The Proceedings is written in standard English language,
prepared for the pleasure of reading of wide circles of
professionals in different fields. The purpose of the editors is to
bring this rather diverse set of texts into the context of a
fruitful dialogue.
