Increasingly, it is becoming evident that those involved in
socio-musical studies must focus their investigative lens on
musical practice and articulation of the self, on music and
community involvement and on music as a social medium for social
relationships. What motivates people to be involved in musical
performance, and how do they articulate these needs and drives?
What do performers gain from their involvement in musical
activities? How do audience members perceive their relationship to
the performer, the music and the event? These questions and many
more are addressed here with the benefit of detailed empirical
work, including case studies of a chamber music festival and a
contemporary music summer school. Pitts investigates the value of
musical participation for performers and audience members in a
range of contexts, using a multi-disciplinary approach to place new
empirical data in the framework of existing theory and literature.
Themes examined include: the shared musical experience; the social
structures of performing societies; how people identify with music;
the values implicit in musical preferences; the social
responsibilities of the performer; the audience view of concerts
and festivals; the social power of music and educational
implications and responsibilities. Pitts draws upon literature from
musicology, sociology and psychology of music, ethnomusicology,
music education and community music to demonstrate the diversity of
enquiry about musical behaviours. The conclusions of the book are
based upon empirical evidence gleaned through case studies, with
the data integrated thematically throughout, to enable a greater
depth of discussion than individual studies usually permit.
