music

No longer was music's dependence on immediate sensations a drawback or a shortcoming, but rather the source of its strength and expressive power.

Thoughtfully creative, performed responses require thorough familiarity with the music's structures, devices and processes.

Towards the close there is a good point on the refocusing of the older view that music's function was moral persuasion.

A second consequence follows from music's transcendence of conceptual meaning.

Which musics ought to be the subject of one's study?

In this study, those memories that stayed to adult life were indeed characterized by factors such as community, atmosphere and music's ability to arouse feelings.

Thus, even when the orchestra is involved in more turbulent episodes, it is the vocal element which is largely responsible for the music's dramatic content.

I fell under this music's spell many years ago and have long thought that this movement in particular should be much better known.

The composer invites a variety of performers of western and non-western instruments to participate in her work, making the music's message a universal one.

Schools with large representations of different ethnic groups often cannot address the musics of each adequately.

I should add that music's artificiality is a great asset here.

The first is the way of the ambitious "singing soul for music's sake".

Furthermore, there is obviously a tendency to begin the more 'official' historiography of marginal musics with more ephemeral media than the printed word.

Why should this depreciate music's status, artistic quality or any other pedagogically important matter?

One must ask if there is more tokenism than substance in the inclusion of world musics in curricula in both schools and in higher education.
