Musical community is a notion commonly evoked in situations of
intensive collective activity and fervent negotiation of
identities. Passion Square shows, the daily singing of Chinese pop
classics in parks and on street corners in the city of Wuhan, have
an ambivalent relationship with these ideas. They inspire modest
outward signs of engagement and are guided by apparently
individualistic concerns; singers are primarily motivated by making
a living through the relationships they build with patrons, and
reflection on group belonging is of lesser concern. How do these
orientations help complicate the foundations of typical musical
community discourses? This Element addresses community as a quality
rather than as an entity to which people belong, exploring its ebbs
and flows as associations between people, other bodies and the
wider street music environment intersect with its various
theoretical implications. A de-idealised picture of musical
community better acknowledges the complexities of everyday musical
experiences.
