How does the immediate experience of musical sound relate to
processes of meaning construction and discursive mediation?
This question lies at the heart of the studies presented in
Experience and Meaning in Music Performance, a unique
multi-authored work that both draws on and contributes to current
debates in a wide range of disciplines, including ethnomusicology,
musicology, psychology, and cognitive science. Addressing a wide
range of musical practices from Indian raga and Afro-Brazilian
Congado rituals to jazz, rock, and Canadian aboriginal fiddling,
the coherence of this study is underpinned by its three main
themes: experience, meaning, and performance. Central to all of the
studies are moments of performance: those junctures when sound and
meaning are actually produced. Experience-what people do, and what
they feel, while engaging in music-is equally important. And
considered alongside these is meaning: what people put into a
performance, what they (and others) get out of it, and, more
broadly, how discourses shape performances and experiences of
music. In tracing trajectories from moments of musical execution,
this volume a novel and productive view of how cultural practice
relates to the experience and meaning of musical performance.
A model of interdisciplinary study, and including access to an
array of audio-visual materials available on an extensive companion
website, Experience and Meaning in Music Performance is essential
reading for scholars and students of ethnomusicology and music
psychology.
