  2. Chapter 1 “Studying Musics of the World’s Cultures” [note the plural]

  3. 2 Operas from late 18th Century Vienna • W.A. Mozart, Le nozze di Figaro(Vienna, 1786, Burgtheater)- The Marriage of Figaro pt1 - English subs – YouTube (Act I begins 5:17)- Le nozze di Figaro COMPLETE 3 hours / The Marriage of Figaro / The Day of Madness - KV 492 Mozart - YouTube (Act I begins 4:57) • W.A.

  4. Differences? • Story/Plot?- Realistic or Fantastic?- How much action? • Singing styles?- tuneful or not?- all sung or speaking? • Language? • Audience(s)? (in Vienna in 1790s? Today?)

  5. Alan P. Merriam’s“Three-Part Model” Sound Behavior Concept

  6. “Universals” in Music • Who Makes Music? (and How?) • Everyone in the World makes music(or at least something that sounds like music) • Vocal music is universal(not everyone has instruments) • All people have the ability to recognize, react to, and make music (to some degree)

  7. Music is an exceptional activity • Music and music-making transform the human condition • Music has a beginning and an end- it must be made; it does not just “happen” • Music is almost always used in religion, ritual, conjuring, healing, calling god, etc. (which suggests the belief in its exceptional powers)

  8. Differences in Musics? • Are humans identical? - All part of the same species - But what about languages? • Factors that affect music - Belief systems - Structure and organization of society - Resources - Outside factors

  9. Absolutes among World Musics • Music is NOT genetic- It is a learned behavior. Therefore… • Each musical system is independent of others • Music is NOT hierarchical- no music is automatically superior to others, just different • Music is NOT evolutionary- music is not moving toward a single “superior” system • Change is a neutral value

  10. Ethnomusicology • Musicology - “ology” = “science or study of…” - treats the musical object with no context - Eurocentric scholarly discipline – 19th C • Ethnomusicology - “Ethno” = “race, people, or culture” - the study of music in its cultural context - term coined c. 1945-50

  11. Assignments • Look at CIA Factbook (on web site)- general information about India- Know at least 1-2 unique facts • Start reading Chapter 2 on Music of India
