Re-visioning the Meaning of Music
摘要
The horn, as an instrument deeply embedded in classical music, serves as a vehicle to explore musical traditions that have been excluded from Western musical education. Confronting institutional and personal biases through travel to indigenous communities in South America and Africa, the broader impact of scholarly exclusion reveals truths about the conditioning Westerners have accepted in viewing world experiences, ranging from racism and cultural homogeneity to baked-in personal beliefs that are difficult to overcome. Overlaying musical experiences with an exploration of technology reinforces the marginalization of non-industrialized societies by Western scholars and technicians.
