We propose a music-culture model that is grounded in music as it is performed
Place yourself at a music event that moved you. At the center of the event is your experience of the music, sung and played by performers. Review the two diagrams, Figure 1-6, Elements of a musical performance, and Figure 1-7, A music-culture model. Note how the concentric circles in the two diagrams parallel each other. For example, the center of Fig. 1-6, the music, that is, the musical event itself, is parallel to the center of Fig. 1-7, the affective experience (music’s power to move). Explain how the ideas in the other three concentric circles of the two figures are related and parallel to each other. What will be an ideal response?
