1. Music in the moment
Keyword(s):
This chapter focuses on music’s existence in real time. On the printed page, music is a series of notes fixed in the same relationships for all time. But as played and heard, music is a world of ‘endless movement, not discrete “forms” but continuous “forming”’—a world of lived experience that expresses human relationships in their most essential, stripped-down form. The chapter discusses the role of improvisation in both jazz and classical music, and the relationship between knowledge and practice as illustrated by historically informed performance (HIP); it also considers music’s ability to bring about social bonding and the political significance it acquires from this, whether in national anthems or protest songs.
